Have a look at this photo

this is one of a huge collection from Eddy Saxby and shows a typical Sheffield scene, cobbled streets, terraced houses, a small handful of cars on the street etc


This to me is Sheffield and I love this photo so much. 

In everyone's drawers and cupboards there has to be hundreds and thousands of these. Do you have any lying around that you could/would share

It's looking down Regent Terrace and across Glossop Road to Cavendish Street. You can see the old Notre Dame school and the bank building peeking out with one of its decorative urns. Also one of the tower blocks on the Lansdowne estate in the distance.

Yes, proper Sheffield. We lived in a semi, but I must have walked along dozens of streets of terraced houses like that one in my boyhood.

Is that a Humber Hawk on the right? Someone was doing well, they were quite up-market cars.
