As Im researching old Sheffield from the 1800's how can I date these pics to then ? Should I find what I am looking for where do I apply for permission to use pics ? I am new to seraching Sheffield and not sure what's where as I need old pics of 84 Langsetts Road 1861 area if any still exist and what was in Sheffield at that time near that home. Can you help or suggest anything Thanks Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm just having a look myself are you sure it's langsett road you're after, as there is a pic of 84 langsett avenue http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/picturesheffield.pl?_cgifunction=form&_layout=picturesheffield&keyval=sheff.refno=s06095 when you say 'laws on what you can use' - where are you planning to use the pics, as that determines which bit of the law applies?

ResearcherNZ Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Yes definetly 84 Langsetts Road as on the 1861 cencus. Well I'm trying to produce a book about Surgeon/Dr Thomas Leslie Crooke his life and atleast 100 people in his autograph book (from the 800-900 he amassed) which I possess and am studying their lives.Family relations associates colleagues etc... I am really unfamiliar with the law and copy rights as such.Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 this was taken only yards from where you're looking for, but is too modern and looking in the wrong direction: http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/picturesheffield.pl?_cgifunction=form&_layout=picturesheffield&keyval=sheff.refno=s17515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 you shouldn't have too much trouble obtaining an answer from sheffield city council as to whether you can use certain pictures - if you let them know which ones you're interested in if picturesheffield doesn't have a contact address, google for the council website, and use the firstpoint@ form of their address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 PS - for searching, you'll probably need to know that the road no longer has that trailing s - it's Langsett Road http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=84+Langsett+Rd,+Norton,+Sheffield,+United+Kingdom&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=12.605358,39.550781&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FSe-LgMdakfp_w&ll=53.397993,-1.491737&spn=0.01241,0.038624&z=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResearcherNZ Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Ok this is great thanks .Would have been easier if Langsetts Ave my luck. I did see the Hillsborough barracks and that's where his father was an Army chaplain during the Crimean war. I can't find where the young Thomas Leslie Crooke went to school in his youth ,as it was suggested his parents may have sent him away to school since he later in life attended Edinburgh University. But each scene of Old Sheffield helps create a sense of what it was like then. These site you mentioned are superb thanks again and again.Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
