Would that be Ralph Randolph Pickford, Artist, of 49 Horner Road, Abbeydale Road (Kelly's 1893) then ?

Excellent finds by the way, Thank you.

OBITUARY.

CHARLES NELSON GWYNNE, M.D.,

SURGEON. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, SHEFFIELD.

We regret to record the death of Dr. Charles Nelson

Gwynne, which occurred on May 23rd inst. He was the

son of the Rev. Canon Gwynne, Rector of Lisgoold, and

was born at Wallstown, co. Cork, in 1848.

He was educated at the Tipperary Grammar School, proceeding

afterwards to Trinity College, Dublin, where he took the

degree of B.A. with first-class honours. Later, in 1873, he

took the M.B. and M.Ch. degrees, proceeding M.D. in

1886. He was a Prizeman at the Richmond and other

hospitals.

Dr. Gwynne commenced practice in Sheffield in 1875.

He was successful in building up a large connexion, and

was for many years a well-known and highly-respected

practitioner in the city.

In 1879 he was appointed Medical Officer to the Children's Hospital,

a position he occupied up to the time of his death. He was much

interested in children's diseases, to which he devoted

considerable attention and from time to time wrote

articles dealing with their illnesses.

He was a member of the Society for the Study of Diseases of Children,

and presided over the provincial meeting which was held in

Sheffield in June, 1905.

He had been for many years an active member of the

Sheffield Medico-Chirurgical Society, and filled the office of President

in 1889.

He was a

member also of the North of England Obstetrical and

Gynaecological Society. Also many years ago he was for a

time Lecturer on Practical Physiology at the old Medical

School.

He took an interest in volunteering, and in 1883 was

appointed Surgeon to the Sheffield Artillery Volunteers,

holding this position for fifteen years, and retiring in 1898

with the honorary rank of Surgeon-Major.

Dr. Gwynne had been in very indifferent health for

many months, and the end had been anticipated for some

time by his friends.

He was buried at the Ecclessall Cemetery on May 26th.

A large number of his professional brethren attended the funeral,

testifying unmistakably to the high regard in which he had been held by

the medical profession. His patients and the public were

also largely represented.

Dr. Gwynne married in 1883 Grace Maunsell, eldest

daughter of Mr. Samuel Ilanna, of co. Wicklow, and he

has left two sons and three daughters.

Great panorama, Thanks for posting. I, personally, cannot work out in my minds eye where this was taken from (it's a big place and we can't know all of it), any map people to help please.

Which buildings can we identify; specifically which Church is dead-centre ?? and what's the big white thing above the older child's head ?

The photo was taken from around about here, near the top of Meersbrook Park,

the view looks more or less north across the City.
