pitsmoorboy Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hi. I am looking for a site that puts old photo's up of Sheffield districts and old buildings etc. and invites people to identify them. I seem to remember the last time I saw it there was a photo of someone fishing in an old pond, I think it was in the Fox Hill district but not sure. Now I can't find the web site, so I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_fcs Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 this is a long shot, but it sounds like the sort of thing the local studies library would do. they have a big collection of photographs, some of which will lack correct captions and details, hence the need to ask on the net. the library service also has a base on shoreham street "sheffield archives" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
