EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Wincobank and Brightside in Sheffield, Yorkshire during the 1940s - 1950s. The panoramic view showcases a bustling scene filled with historical landmarks and industrial prowess. Starting from the right side of the image, we are drawn towards Jenkin Road, which leads our gaze into this lively neighborhood. In the foreground, on the left side of a charming gas lamp, stands Tipton Street, exuding an old-world charm that transports us to another era. On the left-hand side lies St. Margarets Church, an iconic symbol of religious heritage amidst this urban landscape. As our eyes wander further into the background, we are met with a sight that truly epitomizes Sheffield's industrial might – English Steel Corporation's River Don Works located along Brightside Lane. This sprawling steelworks complex serves as a reminder of Sheffield's rich history as one of Britain's leading centers for steel production. Preserved within Sheffield Local Studies library archives (reference number s43500), this print offers us a glimpse into everyday life in post-war Yorkshire. It captures not only architectural marvels but also tells stories about communities thriving amidst rapid industrialization
