DaveH Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks for those posts Lakin, They are the first properly presented "Then & Now" shots we have had for quite a long time. In fact "Then & Now" was becoming something of a dead topic Well done and many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The view of Sheffield from Whiterails in about 1840, (unidentified artist, Sheffield Museum collection) and the view from the Bridghouses roundabout/bridge courtesy of Google. I think the Iron Bridge was lost in the Flood. The buildings identified are up for debate, and what was the third church on the horizon, behind the Soho Wheels?.

SteveHB Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The buildings identified are up for debate, and what was the third church on the horizon, behind the Soho Wheels?. The shape of the Church seems to match St. Paul's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmund Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Is this not the Iron Bridge Edmund ? Vox, It's the replacement Iron Bridge, on the same site as the original one, opened on Monday 17th July 1865.

vox Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Aha I see. Shame I missed the party then Edmund. Sounds like a good do for only 2s 6d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sheffield High Street 1850, painted by either Joseph Hallam Hawkesworth or Ralph Randolphus Pickford, the viewpoint being the Church Gates by East Parade. The occupants listed are based on Slater's directory 1847 and Leader's "Reminiscences". The buildings go back up to 6 times their width, so there were many occupants at the same number, especially those who did not need a frontage, such as harness makers, shoemakers and even pubs.

Guest jase29 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Love these Now and Then photos. Some fantastic examples on this site. Here's one of The Marples Building after the blitz and how it would have looked today. ( B+W image courtesy of Picture Sheffield, ) I would love to have a play around with some of the images on here if permitted of course and just for this site. Cheers.

DaveH Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 I must admit that after massive abuse of our images on various Facebook groups in terms of people "stealing" our pictures (taking them without asking, reposting them without credits or even links to the original and one case even attempting to claim that my pictures were their own!!!) it is very nice to be asked for use of the images first, - thanks for that jase29. You may use my images for this purpose, there are quite a few of them scattered around the site, and thanks to the copyright abuse in various other places as well. I appreciate your goodwill in the "for use on this site only", which is how I posted many of my own pictures, - but the ways of the Internet dictate otherwise, it is only a matter of time before someone reposts them elsewhere. Anyway, see what you can do. I look forward to seeing your results. DaveH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jase29 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Many thanks RichardB and DaveH, I totally understand where your coming from DaveH. Being a keen amateur photographer my self, I would rather be asked to use one of my photos than just copy it with out permission. I will enjoy blending some of the photos together having seen how much trouble people have gone to, to get as close as possible to the old photo. Once again thanks a lot and I'll look forward to posting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jase29 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Thought this was posted by DaveH but it was actually Stuart0742 post ( sorry, hope you don't mind Stuart0742 ) This one is a good one because Stuart0742 actually went back to take a shot in the snow to keep the scene in keeping with the original photo.

DaveH Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hi Jase29 Stuart0742 has been a close friend of mine for over 47 years, since we met on the first day at secondary school in September 1967. On Sheffield History we have frequently worked together on images as our irrelevant "banter" will show, so its not surprising that images posted by me and Stuart get confused, - no problem though.

Edmund Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I think this counts as "Then and Now" - here's a link to a video showing the restoration of the painting of White Rails at Bridgehouses. I think I prefer the look of the "Then". http://www.ckpaintingconservation.com/bridge-houses-and-white-rails-at-bridgehouses-artist-unknown-museums-sheffield/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
