Guest Kanga Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Found this site from a thread on the SheffieldForum website. I'm a relatively new resident in South Yorkshire originally coming from Mansfield near Nottingham. I have an interest in the history of my area and am always interested in seeing old and new photogaphs of the area particularly of Sheffield City where I work and more importantly (for me), Thorpe Hesley where I live. I've no real stories of Sheffield of old apart from my Dad telling me he was given a tour around the 'Eggbox' council offices shortly before they were opened for the City Council, this was at the start of his career as a Surveyor. I arrived in Sheffield several years later to find they're pulling the buildings down! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kanga and welcome, you will find lots of pictures of Sheffield on here once youve had time to go through all the threads. I hope you enjoy it all as much as I do. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an "old" resident of Sheffield (I left in 1981) I'm delighted the "eggbox" has gone ... but "horses for courses", hope you enjoy the site - Welcome to ya !
