Here is a pic i took at the end of last year around the back of the ‘buildings’ for anyone whos interested It was just a quick point and click on the phone.

I would bet that everyone on here would agree with you, to me it;s as bad as chucking a brick through a window, it's a crime and should be dealt with as such.

Can you guess whereabouts in Sheffield this feature is?

I agree boginspro, people daubing graffiti on historic structures, should be taken to court

Old Court house

I'll let someone else have a go at this one so sent you a message, just tell me if I am correct please. Shame about the graffiti .

Just found this carrier bag

Here's a video for anyone who hasn't been down/through Jew Lane in Sheffield City Centre

Here is another one from a postcard, dated 1908. Big curve in the tram tracks to Church Street.

Is it the Royal Victoria buildings on the Wicker or the one opposite?

Correct! Think someone's using it in that pic too!

The condition inside is far worse. Its been left to rot. The Smell damp is noticeable when walking past it.

Fascinating little Lane. Shame about all the graffiti.

I’ve been looking into the Prudential Assurance Building on the corner of Pinstone Street & St Paul’s Parade, by all accounts the lower floor was originally rented out to a Mr Bird as a restaurant but was given his marching orders after failing to pay his rent, the entrance to Mr Birds establishment was what is now the entrance to the Costa coffee shop. I do know that the building does have the oldest lift in Sheffield, if you have any information on the building or the Prudential Assurance company, it would be a great help to me.

Vaguely remember going in when I moved to Pitsmoor in 80s. There were quite a few shop's in West bar I enjoyed going to. Second hand shops, another one that sold air rifles and stuff. Not forgetting that fairly famous kebab shop.

For those who want to see Barkers Pool before Cole Brothers, and the City Hall here you go..

I remember Ratners on Fargate, and the almost overnight collapse after his comments on how they can sell a cut glass decanter with glasses on a silver plate tray for about £5 - which even in 1991 wasn’t a fortune 😂 I remember thinking then - and still do now to a degree about the real quality of all the other jewellery shops out there...

It looks like they were known as the ‘Roman Baths’ in these photos from the late 60’s? https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?searchterms=Roman_baths&action=search&keywords=all%3BCONTAINS%3B%Roman_baths%%3B Wonder what the caravans we’re doing there? Maybe accommodation for builders on the Vic Hallam estate below, on and around Dyke Vale and Scowerdons?

Earlier Closed Span - Buccaneer closed in 1973 due to the Grand Hotel being demolished & the site redeveloped as The Fountain Precinct Comments Modern - Landlady was Olga Marshall who then went on to manage The Wapentake

WOW That looks amazing Well done.

Sheffield High Street in 1908 Main change is that the big white building on the left where the Star Newspaper used to be. Therefore we need to try and find out what the buildings on the left hand side were, what businesses were there etc Anyone know?

I agree entirely Unitedite Returns , I find it strange that people insist on calling Birley Spa a Roman baths just because there is the possibility / likelihood that the Romans were there. I know there were Roman finds about half a mile away but were there any at the Spa site? I doubt it is Hackenthorpe at all, I would have thought that if there had been an archaeological dig locally there would have been talk of it in the pub or even in the Star. That looks like a high wall through the window so if it was Hackenthorpe it would have to be in the village, I think. I think it might be a case of thinking it is somewhere else, but where?

Looking at the building roof-line just visible over the wall, through the arched window. Could they be the gables of Hackenthorpe Hall on Main Street? But that would mean that this photograph was taken some distance away from the traditional site of Birley Spa.

Hi fellow SH's found this post card of the High Street please take note of the back of the card.

An undated picture but am guessing by the trams around 1940

Cole Brother 1905, from a postcard
