RichardB Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Pinning this for a while, simply too good a piece of Sheffield History to allow it to disappear down the listings. I hope it provides much viewing enjoyment for the newer Members to the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Perfect Syrup, I've long pondered on Sheffield brothels but, for some unexplained reason, held back from a search - maybe now is the time - Victorian Brothel-keepers of Sheffield - I like it. Thank you for the post (and the effort). [Whole page deserves transcibing and posting into appropriate threads]. Well i have found Two residents of Cabbage Alley, A William and Amelia Wrathall.

southside Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I came across this old Sheffield Newspaper Scrapbook post from 2009, and with the Bank Holiday coming up I thought it was well worth reviving. Does anyone know where and when this Sheffield Mail photograph was taken? Its a photograph I've not seen it before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 The Sheffield Mail was launched by the owners of the Sheffield Independent as an evening paper, on 29th November 1921. From 10th August 1931 it was taken over and merged into the Yorkshire Telegraph and Star (the "Star"). By the look of the motorcycle the photo was taken at the later end of this range. The Mail was printed in the basement works of the Independent at Newspaper House (later Fargate House) at 21 Fargate. Presumably the finished papers came out of the rear of the building into Norfolk street, and the map below shows a scattering of smaller buildings which could be candidates for the one in the photo. There is a fuller version of the photo on this site, showing that the building is quite narrow: The front of the Independent/Mail's offices are shown here: picturesheffield: 21 Fargate There is also the possibility that the photo shows a distribution office for the Mail in one of the outlying districts.
