  1. Sorry Athy, I’m afraid I never took any photos of the (now, ‘old’) Sheffield Register Office.....aside from it being my place of work fir sone years, I suppose it never occurred to me that I’d ever need to comment about the building in the past tense and by way of epitaph....it’s unique design assuring its future and preservation ....I’m sure if asked at the time, I’d have said it would be likely to be included on lists of protected architecture...both local and national. How wrong I would have been! But back to photos of the place......there must be scores, hundreds, if not thousands of shots in individual collections .....particularly those of the very many people married there ......just put a shout out.....I’m feel sure that they’ll start to appear! Hope a bit of help to you, apart from my further comments.....

  2. Hawley Gallery at Kelham Island is planning an exhibition early next year covering the Spear & Jackson Group, and initially we are looking for people who worked at Moore & Wright who would be willing to talk about their time there. Later exhibitions will cover other companies in the group, eg Neill tools, Spear & Jackson range of building/gardening tools, Tyzack saws to name a few. If you think you can help or have a friend/relation who worked there please tell them. These companies employed hundreds of local people and 'everybody seemed to know somebody' who worked there and are an important part of Sheffield history. There MUST be somebody, somewhere who can help us headline M&W in Hawley!!! Thank you

  3. From a history talk I attended recently, Paradise Row was built first, and the houses were very prestigious. It initially kept the original name of Workhouse (Rd?) but seeing as the road name didn't reflect how prestigious the houses were, it was renamed Paradise Row. The remainder of the square appeared later.
