EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives transports us back to the bustling streets of 1913-14. Standing proudly on the left is the magnificent Royal Hotel, a true architectural gem that exudes grandeur and charm. Its elegant facade showcases intricate details and large windows that allow glimpses into its luxurious interiors. The gas lamps lining the street cast a warm glow, adding an enchanting ambiance to this vibrant city scene. On the right, we catch a glimpse of Exchange Street, with its charming corner buildings adorned with ornate features. The street itself is alive with activity as pedestrians traverse its cobbled paths, perhaps going about their daily routines or exploring the nearby shops and public houses. The photograph was taken from Haymarket, offering a unique perspective on these historical landmarks. It serves as a testament to both Sheffield's rich architectural heritage and its thriving city center during this era. As we admire this remarkable image captured over a century ago, it reminds us of how cities evolve and change over time. While some structures may have been demolished since then, this print allows us to appreciate and preserve these significant moments in history for generations to come.
