RichardB Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Following on from the success of "You've found a picture of my grandfather", he's a few other shops, not the big stores, just people selling "stuff" Charles Henry Cleathero - tailor - wooden shop front, below the Court House, Waingate circa 1902. He formerly served with "Ormrod and Faulkner" in Angel Street.

RichardB Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hovey's, Angel Street, before December 1893 when the place was destroyed by fire. The first Sheffield shop to be illuminated by electricity (installed 1881). The shop assistants slept above the shop, one was never found after the fire. The sign on the corner says "Newton Wilson and Co Sewing Machines All the latest improvements George H. Hovey Authorized Agent" Note he's selling carpets further along the Street. Picture SCL -------------------------------------------------------- I assume from the angle, we're looking up Angel Street, probably about where the Co-Op and Sheffield Wednesday souvenier shop-thing was.

RichardB Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Currently, this is my favourite pictures of Sheffield, so I'll just slide it in here as a hat shop, see if anyone else loves this one as much as me. Charles and Co The noted shop for hats. From the roof of Davy's restaurant (Haymarket) looking towards the Royal Victoria Hotel before redevolpment (1914-1920). This photograph covers the site of the medieval castle, notice also the cone of a cementation furnace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great picture to remind us just how many open fires there would have been in the city. try counting the chimneys. No a chance of clean air.
