Stunmon Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 After Burtons menswear shop was destroyed on the night of Sheffield Blitz on December 12th 1940 together with C & A Modes and The Marples Hotel, it seemed to be standing there in its sorry state for years. My memory may be playing tricks but I seem to remember the ruined building when I was a small child in 1946 or 1947. Does anyone know when it was eventually demolished?

ayfer Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 It was still there in the fifties, because I remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn 1 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I think along with C & A Modes it was damaged in the blitz and wasn't properly rebuilt until the mid 50s. http://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;t03147&pos=2&action=zoom&id=33500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
