Guest Trefcon Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Brilliant images helene, the attached thumbnails look very much like before the Great War. The artillery troop look like Boer War troops on their return. Would love to see the rest so is there a more senior admin that can decide wether to place them on here ? Dean.

The only issues regarding images on here are those copied from other web sites or from books that are in copyright, as your friend owns the photographs/postcards displaying them on here shouldn't be a problem, feel free to upload the scans. Thanking you and also your friend. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmdee Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I wonder if it isn't a visit to Sheffield by royalty. Especially with the words "Welcome Again' and the royal coat of arms. The Boer War contingent look like the tail end of the parade, as the crowd seems to be dispersing after that.

vox Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Great pictures Helene. I agree that there shouldn't be a problem sharing your friends pictures. Question - What's the "Drink Stables" all about. I can't find any reference to it anywhere. Anyone got any idea ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Drink Stables ! 'Tables to put drinks on' ... Drink Stables is so much closer and less misleading than "Drink Stables" if that helps you Reuben ... it's a suggestion/instruction rather than a description of a place - almost like Drink Stables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Drink Stables ! 'Tables to put drinks on' ... I have just read the post put into the "lets find loads of stuff" topic by syrup and his link to an old book, on Google Books, about The Sheffield Dialect. If the book is correct on its interpretation of the local dialect then Steve is correct, - Drink Stables = Tables to put drinks on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest helene hanff Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi Don't know anything about these photos the location is typed on the back of each photo. Helene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest helene hanff Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 More miscellaneous photos. I don't know if they are anything to do with Sheffield. I know from googling Sarah Lloyd that she is not from Sheffield but thought it was quite interesting. The other photos could be from any where. Apparently the owner of the album was born in Sheffield and then moved away to work for Head Wrightsons the album is amazing and there are more albums I've not seen I would love to have all this history for my family ah ce'st la vie. Hope you all like these photos Helene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Stables & Co. Tea dealers, 1 Haymarket .. picturesheffield When did the name change to 'Ridgways' .. picturesheffield Ridgways Ltd, tea merchants, 1 Haymarket, Kelly's 1925 Another view of the Drink Stables sign (well, Drink St bles, thanks to a large pillar. This picture clearly shows trams with the route letters, which were discontinued in 1905 (according to Kenneth Gandy in Sheffield Corporation Tramways (Sheffield CIty Libraries 1985)). The tram on service D (for Darnall) dates the picture to post April 1901. SteveHB's second picture sheffield link above, showing Ridgways, also has a tram with a route letter, suggesting that it was taken in 1905 or earlier, this in turn suggesting the change from Stables to Ridgways happened around that time. There is a similar picture in Charles Hall's Sheffield Transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
