I’m still struggling to find any motivation for photography at the moment and that’s translating into a lack of posts here… But I have exposed a couple of rolls of film this past couple of weeks and I’m hoping to start on my developing backlog tomorrow.
In this post I mentioned how looking at old(er) images can be interesting from a point of view of seeing what’s changed locally and the above image is an example of that.
This alleyway linked two of the main shopping streets in town and although it’s still accessible from the other end, this end is now home to a carpet shop!

An image from a recent(ish) trip to Sheffield… I love the tiled ‘Gilmour’s Windsor Ales’ sign, one of a few still to be found in the area (Gilmour’s was a Sheffield brewery acquired by Joshua Tetley & Son Ltd in 1954).
