EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the bustling city of Sheffield. The image showcases the picturesque River Don as seen from Ladys Bridge, with its tranquil waters reflecting the surrounding industrial landscape. In this snapshot of history, we can spot several prominent landmarks that defined Sheffield's identity during that era. On one side of the river stands Millsands, a vibrant district known for its thriving mills and factories. These structures were instrumental in shaping Sheffield's reputation as a leading steel producer. Adjacent to Millsands is an iconic brewery, symbolizing Sheffield's rich brewing heritage and its contribution to Yorkshire's renowned beer culture. It serves as a reminder of how integral breweries were to local communities at that time. The mention of "brothers" hints at the Cocker Brothers' presence in this area – influential figures who played significant roles in both commerce and philanthropy within Sheffield. Further along the riverbank lies Wicker, another vital part of town where trade flourished thanks to its strategic location near waterways. This bustling hub was home to various industries and commercial activities that fueled Sheffield's economic growth. As we admire this historic photograph from Sheffield City Archives, it allows us to appreciate how these elements intertwine: from steel production and brewing traditions to riverside commerce and architectural marvels like Ladys Bridge. It serves as a testament to the city's industrious spirit while preserving memories of bygone days along Yorkshire’s beloved River Don.
