Sheffield History Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Let's see if we can solve this puzzler. Here's a 1911 photo of Taylor Cabinet Maker in what is believed to be Sheffield City Centre. Above the door it clearly says 'Moorhead' but there are no records of this building/business existing at Moorhead so what gives? Let's get the Sheffield History detectives on the case and see what we can find out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unitedite Returns Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 If the shop was indeed at Moorhead, then my first thoughts are that it might have been one of the corner end shops on the rows of shops that used to make up Button Lane / Furnival Street, but I can't find a likely match on the Picture Sheffield site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
