Upper =1960s; Lower = Google Streetview (2008ish) 1950s view from a similar angle: http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=y01279 Other Picture Sheffield photos: Auditorium interior, 1920s Entrance interior, 1920s 1940s The most important event to happen at the Scala was, of course, my grandparents' wedding reception in 1931.
