Around Bradfield, Loxley and Hillsborough

This fascinating collection of over 200 old photographs charts a part of the history of many of the villages in the north west of Sheffield and the parish of Bradfield. These images have been drawn from a wide variety of sources including family albums, historical societies and enriched by a wealth of detail from memories of residents. The 'villages' pictured here include Bradfield, Dungworth, Storrs, Stannington, Loxley, Malin Bridge, Hillsborough, Owlerton, Wadsley, Worrall, Oughtibridge, Brightholmlee, Ewden Valley, Langsett and Midhopestones, distinct and separate communities linked by ties of faith, education and labour. This nostalgic tour of the area includes scenes of Bradfield Agricultural Show, Sheffield speedway team, Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, the Great Flood of 1864 as well as streets, homes and buildings long gone. This book will be enjoyed by young and old alike and will rekindle memories of a vanished way of life.
