EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage print of the South Yorkshire County Council Christmas card from the 1980s. This image captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the county's rich history and vibrant community spirit. The focal point of the card is an intricate illustration depicting South Yorkshire Waterways, symbolizing the region's strong connection to its rivers and canals. The inclusion of Thwaites Progress pays homage to Roy Thwaites, a prominent figure who played a pivotal role as Deputy Leader and later became Leader of the County Council during this period. Other notable references within this charming artwork include Cornwell Tours, led by John Cornwell, another influential Deputy Leader at that time. Their presence signifies the importance placed on tourism and leisure activities within South Yorkshire. The SYCC Transit Gloria emblem proudly adorns this festive scene, representing unity and progress for all residents. Additionally, we catch a glimpse into the world of sailing enthusiasts through the depiction of South Yorkshire Yacht and Cobble Club. Inside the stable lies an intriguing element - Structure Plan Written Statement. This highlights how even during joyful celebrations like Christmas, important matters such as urban planning were not forgotten by local authorities like SYCC. Preserved at Sheffield Libraries' archives (arc07245), this historical gem offers us a window into South Yorkshire's past while reminding us to cherish our heritage
