EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Bond Street, Upperthorpe, Sheffield, around 1910. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with corner shops and the daily activities that unfolded on this historic street. At the forefront of this snapshot stands George William Womersley, an esteemed draper and hosier who undoubtedly played a significant role in shaping the local community. The black-and-white composition beautifully captures the essence of early 20th-century Yorkshire life. One can almost hear the clatter of horse-drawn carriages passing by as pedestrians go about their business. The architecture exudes charm with its ornate facades and inviting shop windows adorned with various wares. This photograph is not just a glimpse into history but also serves as a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit that thrived during those times. It reminds us of how small businesses like Womersley's were at the heart of communities, providing essential goods and services while fostering social connections. Preserved meticulously by Sheffield Libraries, this original print holds immense value for anyone interested in exploring Sheffield's rich heritage. It offers an opportunity to reflect upon our shared past and appreciate how far we have come since then
