Some interesting reading here and I wasn’t aware that the two Cinecenta screens were now part of the Odeon Luxe multi-screens on Arundel Gate, but I suppose they are actually in the basement!?! 😆 http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/27483

ahh yes I found those as well. Muriel was my 2x great-aunt and Joyce and James were my great-grandparents. Joseph and Florence had three daughters, Olive, Joyce and Muriel. Joseph and Florence lived at 80 Bedford Street in 1911 when Olive was 1 year old. Joyce was born a year later in 1912, so I believe that’s when they moved to Barnsley Road. Thank you

Circa 1890

Lots of vans in the fields. What was going off?

Can you recognise any standout features from this photo in Firth Park from 1926?

A short Sheffield film documenting the Covid 19 Lockdown of 2020

Across Tudor Street from the Lyceum is the Theater Royal, so in front of that must be the roof of the Adelphi pub at the corner of Sycamore Street and further up where Tudor Street becomes Tudor Lane and just before the archway on the left of Tudor Lane is Walker and Halls. Furthest left and just above centre you can just make out a bit of Eyre Street. To the left of the Town Hall is Cadman Lane but not easy to pick out. I hope I have things in the right place, it's a bit hard on the eyes.

Looks like there were plenty of grounds to Fountain Villa in 1893 From https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/

Very interesting and informative bit of history about St Marie's Cathedral. Thanks

Thank you very much for that. I have no records of previous owners so that’s really helpful. Thanks

Circa 1903 Section of 1952 OS map #30,

Spotted these prefabs on grounds that had back to back housing before the war. Never knew they were there. Wonder how long they lasted?

Can be seen briefly in this film "At ParkSchool the children can be seen in the school yard and also crossing the street outside. Outside some of the prefabs, a class of children is setting out on a visit. Some of the prefabs adjacent to the school are being demolished." http://www.yorkshirefilmarchive.com/film/environmental-health-part-park-hill-slums-1-5

Looking at the film titles on offer, I’d say the photos were from no earlier than 1988. Maybe as late as 1989, looking at the cost of fuel at the Murco station (39.4p/ltr or 179.1p/gallon) I used to pass this place regularly as a young ‘un, getting off the 32 in Pond Street, up the escalators and through the underpasses, into the town centre. I always thought this place showed the less salubrious offerings, martial arts films, adult material 😳 etc. John Candy, Goldie Hawn, Croc Dundee all seem a little mainstream to what I remember, but by 1988 I wouldn’t have been passing by much, if at all. It would have been 10 years earlier at least.

Some more air photos all 1926.

I am awaiting the referendum when the North will be asked if it wants independence from the South of England!
