EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1969 takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Sheffield, Yorkshire. The image captures a vibrant scene at Arundel Gate, as we gaze towards Castle Square. On the right side of the frame stands the iconic Top Rank Suite, an entertainment venue that was synonymous with Sheffield's nightlife during that era. As our eyes wander through this snapshot of history, we notice the junction with Norfolk Street on the center-left. It serves as a gateway to another part of town, inviting exploration and adventure for those who traverse its path. The architecture surrounding this intersection showcases a blend of traditional and modern elements, reflecting Sheffield's evolving identity. One cannot help but be intrigued by what lies beyond this photograph's borders - perhaps it is "The Hole in the Road" an underground shopping precinct that became an emblematic landmark for Sheffield residents. Although not visible in this particular shot, its presence looms large in our collective memory. Preserved meticulously by Sheffield Libraries and now housed within their archives collection (s44263), this print offers a glimpse into everyday life half a century ago. It encapsulates both nostalgia for times gone by and admiration for how cities like Sheffield have transformed over time while still retaining their unique character
