Sheffield Past & Present gives a fascinating insight into the
dramatic changes that have taken place in the city during the 20th
century. The book recalls houses and public buildings, shops,
factories and pubs that have vanished or been changed almost beyond
recognition. The pictures show changing types of transport and
fashion, and the developing character of streets and districts as
they took on the form that is familiar today. The astonishing
periods of growth that occurred during the late Victorian and
Edwardian eras, and since the Second World War, are particularly
well illustrated. Many aspects of the changing city are recalled -
hospitals and schools, places of work and recreation, parks and
squares, suburban streets and the main thoroughfares - and the
pictures record the ceaseless building and rebuilding that
characterises the city today. The author has combined a remarkable
selection of archive photographs with modern views of the same
scenes in order to record the transformation that has occurred. The
book will add to the knowledge, appreciation and enjoyment of all
those who take an interest in this distinctive city.
