EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to Langsett Road, Hillsborough, Sheffield. The image showcases two prominent establishments of that era - on the left is No. 8, John G. Wilson's ironmonger and mill furnisher shop, while on the right stands No. 7, T. P. Ball and Co. , a renowned boot and shoe dealer. The scene exudes an air of bustling activity as people go about their daily lives amidst a backdrop of charming Victorian architecture. The storefronts are adorned with intricate signage displaying the names of these long-established businesses that were integral to the local community. John G. Wilson's store emanates strength and reliability through its display of various metal tools and equipment used by mills during that period. It was likely a hub for craftsmen seeking quality supplies for their trade. On the other side, T. P Ball and Co. 's establishment offers an array of fashionable footwear options for discerning customers looking to step out in style along Langsett Road. This remarkable photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides valuable insight into Sheffield's commercial landscape at the turn of the century. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries' archives, this snapshot serves as a testament to our city's rich history and reminds us how far we have come since those days gone by.
