Unitedite Returns Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Obviously, the world famous Rag n' Tag, or Sheaf Market as it was known to the posh people. I think, looking from Broad Street, and probably, looking at the dress-code, 1920's, or thereabouts. Never seen the illuminated sign though. Sadly missed.

But what about all the buntings across the shop-fronts? A special occasion maybe? BT doing a special 4G deal perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadFarmer Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Would this be the same place as the photo in the first post ? (stolen from Twitter account of Aidan Stones https://twitter.com/OldSheffield ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Russell Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I remember that entrance to the market at the bottom of Commercial Street really well. I have an image in my head of an old chap, clearly an old soldier damaged by the First World War, who used to lie on the pavement under the window of that tobacconists in the early '50s. I must have been four or five at the time but it clearly left an imprint on my mind. Does anyone know more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(stolen from Twitter account of Aidan Stones https://twitter.com/OldSheffield ) As memory serves the top photo had a good airing late last year under the heading SHEAF MARKET Sheffield.

lysander Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Perhaps when we post photos we might consider quoting their source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
