Sheffield : Then And Now 10

Ever wished you'd made more use of your camera in the past?
Me too.
Nostalgia certainly isn't what it used to be, y'know.

Evocative, eerie and fascinating.

@Martin Jackson thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@javiermiguel6241]

@Martin Jackson It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out !

[@martinjackson558]

We wonder why there's a housing shortage when houses are pulled down only to be replaced with overgrown bushes.

[@pumpkinking365]

Immigrants coming over, simple.

[@gama3302]

pumpkin king that's one reason. Knocking down good decent housing is another thanks to the scum which is the Sheffield city Council.

[@gaynordurdy7689]

My thoughts too UTB!!!

[@stevep7950]

The real reason for the houses being cleared and not replaced was pressure and funding from central government for slum clearances post WWII. It is the same in most northern cities. Huge swathes of manchester terraces were demolished on A57 I remember walking along the grass and observing the stones where the cellar grates were. Most of the old housing was built without internal plumbing and a proportion of it was back to backs. Probably in a poor state of repair and cheap rental.

My grandmother was born and brought up in Attercliffe. My parents were married in Darnall church and I was born in Darnall and went to Darnall Church School. It has all gone now, it seems like a wasteland. I find it incredibly sad.

[@Colsoloact-po9wv]

These are done so beautifully may I say....Some of the shots of terraced housing cleared away in the 60's/70's and now look like waste land....really gets me as there's folks nowadays crying out for housing......it's the same here in Doncaster! I wish someone could do this for Doncaster photos....looks brilliant! Well done cgisarecrap!

[@doyoumind9356]

I grew up in Sheffield .. I remember fondly the green spaces and the surrounding countryside

[@eldermanager]

Same here!

[@pink221]

Brinsworth Street looked nice with the Victorian Terraced houses and the traditional cobbled streets. Shame all of those houses were demolished :/

I remember the hole in the road Not been 'home' since 95 Too long

[@asushuracan5501]

new hall road perfect example of a waste of good home that could have housed war veterans and homeless poor people,those houses survived the blitz so why knock them down for half a mile of weeds and bushes,im out of ideas here can anyone else see the point in knocking those strong Victorian houses down.this screams council money saved for the booming student life in Sheffield,lets face it that's what brings money into Sheffield now not the hammering of forge presses.

[@Jay-ru3mu]

Don't forget all the Take Aways :()

[@fionamoorcroft7]

Only Sharrowvale Road remains the same - I have never known Attercliffe to be anything other than a area for factories and office blocks - mad seeing all the terraces there years ago!

[@margaretstone9170]

Glad to hear , I went to Hunters Bar Girls school left in 1953 I live Elsie Walker Pikelet school ex pat

[@margaretstone9170]

[@barrybullettoothhatchet4596]

What's the song ?

[@norbury57]

I think in number one he said it was Brian Eno.
