EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print capturing the essence of Sheffield's industrial prowess in 1868. The image showcases an advertisement for John R. Spencer and Son, Albion Steel Works, located at Pea Croft (later known as Solly Street). A true testament to the city's rich history, this photograph offers a glimpse into the thriving steel manufacturing industry that once defined Sheffield. Intriguingly, the advertisement features a bustling scene filled with horse-drawn carts traversing the road surrounding Albion Steel Works. These carts were undoubtedly vital for transporting materials essential to cementation and furnace processes within the works. As you study this remarkable snapshot, notice how elevated views highlight both the scale of operations and architectural grandeur of these historic steel manufacturers. The Albion Works stands tall as a symbol of innovation and progress during an era when Sheffield was renowned worldwide for its exceptional steel production capabilities. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of Sheffield's industrious spirit that shaped its identity. Preserved meticulously by Sheffield Local Studies Library from William White's Directory of Boroughs in 1868, this original piece is now available for your appreciation at Sheffield City Archives (914.274 S). Immerse yourself in our city's vibrant past through this extraordinary visual artifact showcasing Netherthorpe’s Pea Croft area before it transformed into Solly Street – truly an invaluable historical treasure.
