EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1929, offering a glimpse into the bustling Holly Street from Barkers Pool in Sheffield, Yorkshire. The image showcases an era before the construction of the iconic City Hall, which would later become a prominent landmark on the right side of this vibrant street scene. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, our attention is drawn towards the left side of the frame where two significant establishments once stood. On one corner stands Ivory Works, a hub for craftsmanship and artistry that undoubtedly contributed to Sheffield's reputation as a center for fine craftsmanship during that time. Adjacent to it is Cutlery Works, another testament to Sheffield's renowned steel industry and its legacy in producing exceptional cutlery. The black-and-white tones evoke nostalgia and transport us back to an era when horse-drawn carriages shared space with early automobiles on these cobbled streets. The architecture lining both sides reflects a blend of traditional Victorian structures alongside more modern buildings emerging at that time. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries' archives, this original photograph (y01366) offers not only historical significance but also serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time. It invites us to reflect upon our own connection with urban landscapes and appreciate their transformation throughout generations
