Looopylass Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 could it be sheffield city education service perhaps Unsure, SCES seems to stand for alot of different things. Surely it should be in some history archives what the building was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the early 60's that was a Co-op, although the letters don't match the usual, Brightside and Carbrook, or Sheffield and Ecclesall. There are probably others though.

Cyclone Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 My uncle suggested a co-op for some reason. Some parts of my family used to live in the area 50/60 years ago, so maybe he'd seen it when it was such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they but a bell on that? I thought it was an important building or something not just a shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look on Google Earth, street level, it's there in all it's glory. Most Co-op buildings were quite elaborate in those days, probably 1910 -1930.

Tooeg Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I doubt it was a bell tower, quite a few Co-ops had a lifting beam with a pully on to lift stock up to the first floor storage, back in the days of loose sugar, flour, dried beans etc. in hundredweight sacks, don't know if it could apply to this one, have another look.
