EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1890s takes us back in time to Portobello Street, Sheffield. The image showcases a charming establishment called Dove and Rainbow PH, which appears to be bustling with life. The sign hanging proudly in the window advertises their specialty: Boiled Ham and Tripe Shop. It's fascinating how different our culinary preferences were back then! At the forefront of this snapshot stands Wardlows Stoop, an imposing structure that blocks the lane. Its presence adds a touch of character and mystery to the scene, leaving us wondering about its purpose or history. On the far right side of the frame, we see Mrs Bowers Corner—a solid brick wall that defines one edge of this vibrant street corner. Perhaps it served as a landmark for locals navigating through Sheffield's bustling streets. Preserved by Sheffield Libraries, this original photograph allows us to glimpse into daily life over a century ago. It is remarkable how much has changed since then—both in terms of architecture and societal norms. As we admire this historical gem captured by an unknown photographer, let's appreciate its significance in preserving our heritage. This evocative image not only transports us back in time but also reminds us of the rich history embedded within Sheffield's cityscape.
