Synopsis
Sheffield and its collection of satellite towns and villages offers a diverse range of settlements, some with heavily industrialised areas, others surrounded by moorland and magnificent countryside. Author Geoffrey Howse has collected an interesting and varied selection of old photographs of both the city centre and the outlying towns and villages. He contrasts them with present-day images photographed by Paul T. Langley Welch to show the many changes which have taken place over the years. Some of the area's historic buildings such as Sheffield Manor and Wharncliffe Lodge, as well as many local churches are included. Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, Beauchief Abbey, Dore, Totley, Rivelin Valley, Oughtibridge, Stocksbridge, Bolsterstone, Firth Park, Shire Green, Ecclesfield, Chapeltown, Grenoside and Woodseats are just some of the places featured. For anyone who has an interest in this part of South Yorkshire, no bookshelf would be complete without a copy of this book.
