I know SADACCA was a project funded by Sheffield Council's D.E.E.D. - Department of Employment, Economic Development, during the 1980's. It was one of several projects aimed at combating economic problems in Sheffield. Others included the Unemployment Centre on West Street and The Manor Employment Project (later to become Matrec) plus Star Works in Darnall and another project in Frechville.

Sheffield and District Afro-Caribbean Club and Association...where a mean and loud game of dominoes could be had together with a pint.

The Samuel Osborn offices extended along Wicker, above the shops, from Willey Street (actually the ground floor on the corner was the computer room in early 1970's) to Blonk Street and round the corner. Through the entrance door (on the left in the photo) was a sweeping stair case, curving to the right, to the reception on the first floor.
