Centre City Edward General King Square Fitzalan Offices

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back in time to the bustling Fitzalan Square in Sheffield. The image showcases three prominent landmarks that defined this vibrant cityscape. On the left, we see the majestic General Post Office, a hub of communication and connection for the people of Sheffield. Its grand architecture stands as a testament to an era when post offices were not just functional spaces but also architectural marvels. In the center of the frame stands a magnificent statue honoring King Edward VII, whose reign was marked by progress and modernization. This memorial statue serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to Sheffield's growth and development during his rule. To complete this historical tableau, on the right side of the photograph is The White Building, another notable structure that housed various businesses and organizations within its walls. It stood as a symbol of commerce and prosperity in this thriving city center. The print captures an enchanting moment frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate these iconic buildings and streets that once shaped Sheffield's identity. It offers viewers a glimpse into history while evoking nostalgia for an era long gone but still etched into our collective memory.
