Does anyone remember what was in Charter Square before all this?

[Sheffield History]

 

Here's how Charter Square is looking in September 2022

Does anyone remember what was there in previous times?

How about before the 50's/60's?

Did it even exist?

Wasn't this where Button Lane reached Moorhead?

This Picture Sheffield photograph of Charter Square was taken in July 1970.  What's the building at twelve o'clock in the photograph, the building with the white gable and two windows?

I’m sure a where Matilda Street crossed Button Lane, on the left was a plumbers merchants, possibly Jackson’s, can’t be sure about the name.

Matilda Street did not cross Button Lane it ran from St. Mary's Road to the Moor, Arnold Carter, builders and plumbers merchants was in the area of Rockingham Street, Wellington Street and Charter Row, could that be the one?

Didn’t end up being the little tap room joined onto Henry’s?

Charter Square didn't exist when this Ariel photograph was taken in May 1926

Lot's of local landmarks to pick out including the white building on Wellington Street. It's hard to believe that Queen Victoria opened the  Town Hall 29 years earlier than this photograph! You can see how the pollution from the Steelworks darkened the building in such a short time, in contrast to the clean look of the new extension built in 1923.
