Yes, I think procession is coming down Mitchell Street. I'm pretty sure the first name of the Licensed Victualler on the sign is 'George', which leads me to plump for

1880 George Nicholson 39 Mitchell Street?

 

39 Mitchell Street was tha address of the Ostrich Inn.

My computer keeps inserting random 'quotes' when I reply to posts - sorry!  I can delete the text but not the whole quote box.

Is the picture from 1861?

According to the 1863 map on Picture Sheffield http://www.picturesheffield.com/maps.php?file=031 many of the buildings on the upper part of what we are assuming is Mitchell Street (i.e the buildings on the LHS and RHS of the picture) were not built.

By 1873 http://www.picturesheffield.com/maps.php?file=033 Mitchell Street was developed more in line with the picture.

Someone has no doubt scribbled 1861 somewhere and it has become "factualised" even though incorrect.

My thoughts are Fawcett Street / Mushroom Lane and the people in the bottom left corner looking over

St Stephens church wall?
