HughW Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 A couple of examples from the first article... I'm curious to know if an image showing this doorway could be found! ...which implies that the author was an apprentice in the studio of a designer or manufacturer of funerary monuments/scuplture.

HughW Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have only read a few of these articles. If anyone comes across mentions of Walkley, Rivelin or Ruskin (including of his museum opened three years earlier) I would be very interested!

HughW Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 MacReady's last performance in Sheffield was at Sheffield Theatre, 25 January 1850. (He died in 1873) In this last engagement in Sheffield he played Macbeth, Iago, and Richelieu (in a play by Bulwer Lytton of the same name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
