MartinR Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Quote Notes Jewish Flag hanging from H.L. Brown's. - from the write up below it on the Picture Sheffield site. I think it is actually from Birks. There is a Union Flag in the canton (upper hoist), and four lines of Hebrew script which I can't read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Hebrew script, that's probably why I can't make it out. 😂🤣 Wonder if they had Jewish connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponytail Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Two photographs of not good quality dated 7th July 1893 with flags flying. .. Ist one, Birks are in the scene. 2nd one is of Market Place and High Street https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;v01647&pos=205&action=zoom&id=42989 https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;v01672&pos=206&action=zoom&id=43013 The 6th July 1893 Prince George, Duke of York (later George V) and Princess Mary of Teck married Chapel Royal St. James Palace. The photograph with a flag flying on my previous post is probably a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
