If you look around on those sites you may find something better. ------ https://maps.nls.uk/view/125651248 ----------- https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/435500/387500/13/101329 ---------- 1920 An overlay of the two maps, not very exact, sorry I was a bit short of time but it shows roughly where both houses were, ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boginspro Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Britain From Above has images from 1933 when the back to backs were still at the at the side of the George Hotel, corner of Arley Street. The same site has a 1952 image when T.C. Harrison were across from number 66. On both of these I think you can see the back of the Talbot Hotel 57/59 Boston Street and also number 66 at the side of the passage which is opposite Harrison's in the later one. Picture Sheffield has an early image, 1901, showing the Talbot Hotel looking the other way. According to Picture Sheffield at that time the cutlery works were 53/55 with court 11 behind the pub. https://britainfromabove.org.uk/image/EPW041622 ------------ https://britainfromabove.org.uk/image/EAW042505 ------------- http://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s09921&pos=8&action=zoom&id=13015 --------------- 1933 1952 1901 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather was born at number 28 Boston Street and the family lived there for many years. I can see that the property was still standing on the 1952 photo, but was wondering if there is a record of the year that it went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiestykipper Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Found this picture on picture sheffield dated 1975, so I've narrowed it down to a 23 year period! http://www.picturesheffield.com/Ref_No_s35243 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
