Sheffield History Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Was this Human League photo taken in Sheffield ? Anyone know ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLongden Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I found a photo from the same shoot, which someone with more patience and better eyesight could maybe decipher the wording on the sign in the background? It seems to read "... & Sons" "Upholstering" "Works" ??? Hope this gives some clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrubble Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think I've identified the company - A. Isaacs & Sons, Cabinet Makers & Upholsterers. There's a picture of their shop on Gibraltar Street here I can't find any other records for the company. But that may be a starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrubble Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Found it! Looking up Furnace Hill from West Bar. You can still see the chimney on Google Streetview here The picture that solved it is on Picture Sheffield here where you can still see the original signage on the end of the works.

RLongden Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nice one chrubble! Not sure if my additional photo helped any, but it looks like you are bang on with the location?! Here's the mag' from 11 June 1981 - https://archive.org/stream/smash-hits-1981-06-11#page/n37/mode/2up You'd think they'd be a bit more cheerful, if they knew how much cash they were going to trouser, as just one month later, "Love Action (I Believe in Love)" was released and there was no looking back! 1981....... Wow! Where did that time go??????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrubble Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 RLongden - YES! That's where I worked the Isaacs bit out from. Then once I came across A. Isaacs I could kind of see it in the original image. So top marks for the 2nd image :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukelele lady Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s23974&pos=34&action=zoom&id=26427 I keep looking at this picture with the Human League on and I seem to recognise the background maybe Green Lane area but it doesn't look like " across from the Shakespeare" when looking at this picturesheffield scene. Looks like we are a bit late with this one Russell, it's already been solved , Furnace Hill it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
