suesmith Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Dunkirk Square is where Lidl is now. Morrisons was origonally built on the site so I understand, I think there are pictures of Dunkirk square on picture Sheffield but I might be wrong. Otherwise there are some in the Darnall camera book. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughW Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 In Aspects of Sheffield 1 (ed. Mervyn Jones) there is an article by Sue Turton called A changing landscape: Darnall in the nineteenth century. This has about 4 pages concentrating on Dunkirk Square, including a photo (c1900/10) and a map (1893). Although the author concentrates on the earlier history of the square, she does say that the buildings "survived into the 1940's". Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
