EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the year 1881, capturing a serene scene of Pitsmoor Road in Sheffield. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than John Taylor, whose attention to detail and ability to evoke nostalgia through his work is truly commendable. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent Christ Church standing proudly at the end of Pitsmoor Road. Its towering spire reaches for the heavens, serving as a beacon of hope and faith for all who pass by. Surrounding it are picturesque rural lanes that exude tranquility and simplicity, reminding us of a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace. The charm of Pitsmoor shines through every aspect of this photograph; from the quaint cottages lining the road to the lush greenery that frames its edges. It offers us a glimpse into what life was like in Sheffield during this period - an idyllic countryside escape within reach of bustling city life. Preserved with great care by Sheffield Libraries, this original print holds immense historical value. It serves as a testament to both Taylor's artistic talent and Sheffield's rich heritage. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past, appreciating how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
