EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alderman William Johnson Clegg, a prominent figure in Sheffield's history. Serving as the Mayor of Sheffield from 1887 to 1888, Clegg was not only a distinguished public servant but also the founder of the esteemed solicitors firm Messrs. Clegg and Sons. His dedication to his community is evident through his prior role as Town Councillor for Nether Hallam in 1872. The photograph captures Alderman Clegg's dignified presence, exuding confidence and wisdom. As a father to Sir William and John Charles Clegg, he undoubtedly instilled values of integrity and service in his sons who would go on to make their own significant contributions. Beyond his professional achievements, Alderman William Johnson Clegg was known for being an ardent advocate for temperance. His commitment to promoting responsible drinking made him a respected leader within the Temperance movement. Preserved by Sheffield Libraries at their archives (s08433), this original portrait offers us a glimpse into the life of an influential individual who shaped Sheffield's development during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how one person's dedication can leave an indelible mark on their community
