EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the year 1944, during the tumultuous period of World War II. The image showcases a significant event held at Sheffield City Hall, where the esteemed Herbert Morrison MP is set to deliver an impactful speech. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported to a time when information played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and boosting morale amidst the chaos of war. The Ministry of Information, responsible for disseminating news and propaganda during this era, chose Sheffield as a platform for Morrison's address. This decision highlights the city's importance as an industrial hub and its resilience in times of adversity. With its rich history deeply intertwined with steel production, Sheffield stood tall even amid the ravages of war. As we delve into this photograph further, it becomes evident that capturing such moments was vital for future generations to understand their heritage. Preserved by Sheffield Libraries and now housed within their archives, this particular print (y13727) serves as a testament to their commitment towards preserving local history. It is important to note that commercial use should not be associated with this image; instead, let us appreciate it solely for its educational value and significance in commemorating key figures like Herbert Morrison who played instrumental roles during World War II.
