HOME & GARDEN

Classic blue PANTONE’S COLOUR OF THE YEAR BRINGS CALMNESS, CONFIDENCE AND CONNECTION TO THE HOME, WRITES RACHEL MARTIN. antone’s Colour of the Year was announced as Classic Blue (PANTONE 19-4052) and according to the colour-matching experts, this shade represents a dependable and stable foundation to move forward to a new era.

“We are living in a time that requires trust and faith,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “It is this kind of constancy and confidence that is expressed by Pantone 19-4052 Classic Blue, a solid and dependable blue hue we can rely on.”

The bold hue brings calmness, confidence and connection (think traditional, soothing and strong) to any space and it is also versatile, which means it is going to be a popular choice.

You can pair it with saffron yellow, soft pink and even rich forest green.

Fürstenberg

Contemporary since 1747, the Fürstenberg has produced porcelain that reflects the time in which it is created; the spirit, the attitude to live, as well as the aesthetics.

With that in mind, for over 270 years, Germany’s second-oldest manufactory has been creating and producing ranges that have become icons of dining culture.

This claim is also applied to each new design. It is Fürstenberg’s craftsmanship that characterises its quality most of all.

Perfection down to the last detail is only possible because, even today, the majority of porcelain manufacture is still based on handwork. Fürstenberg porcelain set with blue detail (Top Drawer exhibitor S/S20) from Top Drawer www.topdrawer.co.uk 6

Nat Maks

The MARBLE mural is hand-printed by way of the traditional Japanese Art of Suminagashi and each roll is unique.

Instead of designing patterns, Natascha

creates individual rolls of ‘paintings’ and with every mural made by the artist, each prepared and completed by hand, the murals freely reflect energy within its patterns. Each mural therefore has its imperfections; the colour overlaps, there are clear water markings and gaps within these patterns; expressing movement, imperfection and freedom. MARBLE mural wallpaper and prints by Nat Maks £95 per mural roll www.natmaks.com 7

Known as the ‘subway tile’ in America, as tiles this shape appeared in New York City’s subterranean train stations in the early 1900s (and they have graced our own London underground stations for just as long) the Half Tile is available with a subtle crackled glaze, in all gloss colours, two satin finishes, as well as gold and platinum. It’s incredibly versatile as it can be installed in many different layouts and co-ordinates with any array of field tiles and all mouldings.

PROMOTION

No job too small BUMFORDS ARE BRANCHING OUT...

AS WELL AS CONTINUING TO OFFER THEIR EXPERT BOILER SERVICES, THEY ARE NOW OFFERING HANDYMAN SERVICES TOO.

very home should come complete with a handyman... someone who will fix anything that rattles or squeaks, fit a new domestic appliance or assemble a piece of flat pack furniture in a few minutes.

If you’ve got a man (or woman) like this around the house, congratulations.

You are in a privileged minority and can sleep easily, knowing that whatever domestic crisis is around the corner, you have a solution close at hand.

For the rest of us, the vast majority who will always need a little help from time to time, the biggest problem is finding someone honest, skilled and totally reliable to tackle the problem and leave you to get on with your life.

This is where the Bumfords handyman service really comes into its own.

You’ll be familiar with the name.

Bumfords is a local company that has been the byword for professional heating

E

and plumbing services since 1968.

They’ve won the trust of generations of Sheffield families who have felt secure welcoming them into their homes.

But they recently added another string to their bow and this long-established local family business now offers a handyman service to cover a huge number of domestic chores – all with the same Bumfords commitment to doing an excellent job at a fair price.

Neil Bumford, MD of Bumfords, comments: “A lot of our customers were asking us if we could undertake odd jobs while we were already in their houses.

Our engineers possess a wide range of skills, as well as the correct tools, so we were able to oblige.

“Among the tasks we have been asked to undertake include installing TV brackets, flat pack furniture installation and replacing silicone and grout in bathrooms and kitchens.”

While Bumfords have added new services to their portfolio they continue to provide the service that the business was founded on more than 50 years ago... installing and maintaining boilers.

Their expertise in this field makes them the go-to local company for families and businesses across the region.

Bumfords offers bespoke solutions in domestic and small commercial properties throughout South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire. So if it’s time you had your boiler serviced contact them now – winter may still have a sting in its tail so don’t get caught cold!

And don’t forget, Bumfords now also fit air conditioning. Either for a single room such as a bedroom or conservatory, or multiple rooms within your home or office, it’s the perfect solution to beat the heat during those sweltering summer months.

Whatever the reason, call Bumfords and be assured of a job well done. They are proud of their reputation for sound practices and also for their support of local causes such as grass roots sports teams and charities. Give them a call today and see for yourself.

Winter warning IT’S NO SECRET THAT THE WINTER IS POSSIBLY ONE OF THE WORST SEASONS FOR OUR APPEARANCE. FEBRUARY IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO GET THINGS BACK ON TRACK AND NOURISH OUR SKIN, HAIR AND NAILS WITH SOME SIMPLE BEAUTY RESOLUTIONS.

Hair

Body

Our hair can be particularly damaged during winter, but there are easy ways to salvage your shine and bring back the bounce. To avoid breakage, brush your hair starting from the ends and work your way up to the root.

Other tips include washing the hair with lukewarm to cool water, as very hot water can have a damaging effect, similar to using heated tools. When it comes to washing your hair, make sure all products are fully rinsed out to avoid irritating the scalp and use a good conditioner to keep the hair looking and feeling healthy.

After washing, do not brush the hair immediately, comb through with your fingers first and then reach for the brush.

As hair begins its journey in the body, diet is also crucial and certain foods that affect acne-prone skin can also flare up a problematic scalp. Other foods are very good for your scalp, like Omega 3s found in fatty fish like salmon.

opt instead for a chemical exfoliator (which gently remove surface dead skin cells) with ingredients like salicylic and azelaic acids.

It might not seem necessary, due to the total lack of sunshine, but if you’re going to make any changes to your skincare routine this year, add an SPF to your routine. UV protection by day.

Retinol by night. Two skincare decisions the future you will thank you for.

No one feels like slathering on body lotion after a shower on a cold morning and we find ourselves with the ‘out of sight out of mind attitude’.

Despite being less on show than in summer, the skin is the body’s largest organ and needs to be taken care of accordingly. It might not seem appealing, but applying body lotion as soon as you can after drying off post-cleansing or bathing helps lock in moisture, and avoid fragranced moisturisers, which can lead to skin irritation (look out for ones containing vitamin E and aloe vera to soothe and hydrate).

Another skin-saving resolution is to nourish your skin from within by drinking enough water. Water will help flush out any toxins from the body and will help your skin, hair and nails to flourish.

Westside recommends Illuminating Sugar Scrub by Beautify £12.99 www.beautify.co.uk

Westside recommends Hair Rituel by Sisley colour perfecting shampoo £54 www.sisley-paris.co.uk

Face During colder months, taking care of our skin should be even more of a priority than in summer, and just a few resolutions will help restore your glow and can reduce puffiness and dryness.

Try cleansing as soon as you get home in the evening and you will soon be in a routine, or maybe after dinner perhaps (instead of leaving it until bedtime when you may persuade yourself that you are too tried to take your make up off).

Cleanse thoroughly with a product that is effective at clearing makeup and doesn’t strip the healthy lipids from the skin.

Ring in the new year DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENGAGEMENT RINGS AND WEDDING RINGS? AND DO YOU NEED BOTH? RACHEL MARTIN ANSWERS YOUR EIQUETTE QUESTIONS.

o, your partner chose the perfect engagement ring – big congratulations are in order. But what’s really the difference between engagement rings and wedding rings?

And, if you love your engagement ring so much, do you also need to get a coordinating wedding ring to match?

Can you simply wear your engagement ring after you’re married instead, or would that be bucking tradition a bit too much? Is it acceptable to even wear your wedding band on the opposite ring finger? We’re here to weigh in on all your burning engagement and wedding ring etiquette questions.

S

Engagement Ring vs. Wedding Ring: What’s the difference?

Traditional engagement rings characteristically have one dominant stone, which either stands alone or is surrounded by additional smaller stones.

An engagement ring is usually given as part of the proposal, or if not, at an early point in the engagement.

By contrast, a wedding ring is usually a plain metal band or a diamond-encrusted eternity band 38 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

that you receive during the wedding ceremony and wear from then on. Additionally, there’s also a major price difference between traditional engagement and wedding rings. Even if the wedding ring has stones, their total carat weight is usually less than the engagement ring and for that reason, a wedding ring costs significantly less than an engagement ring.

You can, of course, throw tradition out the window. According to industry experts, women are now having more of a say in the designing of their ring and not only are brides parting with tradition, but they’re opting to diversify their engagement and wedding ring selections, with wedding bands offering the opportunity to embrace more flair.

The history of engagement and wedding rings Since ancient Egyptian times, engagement rings have been regarded as a symbol of love and commitment; their rings crafted out of plants growing along the Nile River.

The ancient Romans were the first to place the engagement ring on the left ring finger, believing it directly connected to the heart and in 1477,

“Traditionally, you wear your engagement ring and wedding ring stacked on the fourth finger of your left hand. As far as how to stack them: tradition holds that the bride wears the wedding band inside the engagement ring so that it’s closer to her heart.”

Archduke Maximillian presented the first recorded diamond engagement ring to his beloved Mary of Burgundy. Before this event, engagement rings consisted mostly of plain metal bands or less expensive gemstones. Maximillian’s diamond ring sparked a trend in Europe and across the world.

During these earlier centuries, diamond engagement rings represented who the woman was committed to and it showcased the social and financial status of the man she was marrying. The ring, which is in the form of a circle, is a sacred symbol. With no beginning and end, the circular ring signifies wholeness, completeness and eternity.

How to wear your engagement and wedding rings Traditionally, you wear your engagement ring and wedding ring stacked on the fourth finger of your left hand. As far as how to stack them: tradition holds that the bride wears the wedding band inside the engagement ring so that it’s closer to her heart.

Some like to wear their engagement ring on one hand and wedding band on the other, especially if they’re diversely designed rings that can’t be stacked.

When to pick out wedding bands Industry experts suggests that couples pick out wedding bands at least two months before the wedding; that way, you can account for any lastminute wedding planning details that might pop up while your rings are already in production. If you’re unsure about the kind of wedding band you want initially, wear your engagement ring for a few months before you choose the wedding ring.

Your preferences might change, so take your engagement ring for a spin to get a better grasp of the wedding band you’re envisioning closer to the wedding day.

Do you need both an engagement and wedding ring?

Ultimately, this really comes down to personal preference. If you like the traditional look, then yes, of course. Whether you’re adding an eternity band set with pavé diamonds or a plain metal band, a wedding ring/engagement ring stack is a timeless and beautiful look.

Rings on their own, of course, are also gorgeous and instead of a separate engagement ring and wedding ring combination, some people opt for only a single ring. Why? Single rings can be more comfortable and less fussy than a stacked band and engagement ring combo and it’s one less ring to have to worry about losing, and you don’t have to worry about two rings perfectly lining up, either (it can sometimes be tricky to find a wedding band that matches and lines up perfectly with your engagement ring if they’re not purchased at the same time). You can also make a bigger investment in a single standout ring.

The bottom line? There’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing, designing or wearing engagement and wedding rings.You can wear none, one, two, three rings – the only rule you should follow is to make sure you choose whatever makes sense to you.

North Yorkshire Moors Railway It’s full steam ahead if you want a wedding setting unlike any other because you can tie the knot on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

Afternoon tea and refreshments will be served onboard, so help yourself to a finger sandwich or freshly baked fruit scone as the panoramic vistas whisk past outside.

The Crucible If you love a night at the theatre, get married on the Crucible Theatre stage under the beautiful twinkling ceiling or in the floor-to-ceiling windowed Adelphi Room that looks out over Sheffield’s Tudor Square, and host your wedding breakfast in the foyer or studio theatre.

Waterton Park Hotel

North Shire

What’s so special about Waterton Park Hotel? Oh, not much. It’s only an enormous Georgian island mansion surrounded by a 26-acre lake, accessible by a picture-perfect iron footbridge. In all seriousness, Waterton Park Hotel is one of the north’s coolest and most unusual wedding venues, voted “Yorkshire’s Most Romantic” by the English Wedding Awards in 2019.

This isolated paradise has everything a loved-up couple could want for their big day, and the eye-watering vistas don’t stop at the water’s edge either. Once you’re back on dry land, the vivid green parkland stretches out as far as the eye can see. So, after your picturesque wedding reception buffet or BBQ, feel free take a wander back over the bridge and see what delights Waterton Park’s outer reaches have to offer.

A dream wedding is every couple’s fantasy, but what if we told you the ultimate fantasy wedding is waiting for you in God’s Own Country? That’s the aim of North Shire, a pictureperfect family farm set in six acres of rolling countryside.

Their big secret is the grassroofed Hobbit house that acts as the bridal suite – North Yorkshire becomes Middle Earth. That’s not all, though, the wedding itself takes on a fairytale enchantment, with fireworks, music and even fire-breathers available to delight and dazzle the wedding party. Once the party’s over, your guests can pick from gypsy caravans, shepherd huts or even bell tents for their accommodation, while you head back to the Shire House for a cosy night in a Hobbit hole under the stars.

Camp Katur A truly unique and rustic wedding venue is something that many couples desire, and our recommendations for you would be Camp Katur. The 250-acre manor estate has the capacity to host weddings in marquees, tipis, yurts and even their very own rustic barn. With a woodland of tall pine trees as your backdrop, what more could you possibly ask for?

Camp Katur doesn’t hold a civil weddings license, and most couples go to a registry office a couple of days before their special day to sign the legal documents. You can then hold your ceremony at Camp Katur wherever you like, whenever you want, and how you want, making your ceremony unique and special to you both.

Yorkshire Wildlife Park We all know weddings can get a little wild, but not usually this wild. If you’re looking for unusual wedding venues, Yorkshire Wildlife Park is just the place. By partnering up with the four-star Crown Hotel in nearby Bawtry, you can tie the knot surrounded by wildlife.

Set against the park’s stunning backdrop, you’ll start your magical day in the park’s panoramic Outlook Suite. Once the ceremony’s finished, it’s time to get up close and personal with the animals, with photos at one of their wildlife reserves – visit the giraffes, lemurs, the tiger walkway or polar exhibit. You and your guests will get the run of the park for two full hours, before the evening’s food and festivities continue in the Outlook Suite or shift into the Tsavo Lodge marquee – the choice is yours.

Your chance to join the SWFC Charity Cup 2020 The Sheffield Wednesday Charity Cup is back in 2020… and once again it’s raising money for St Luke’s Hospice.

The Charity Cup is the unique sporting challenge that raises money for St Luke’s and the Sheffield Wednesday Community Programme.

Kicking off on Saturday 28 March, two Sheffield Wednesday teams – both home and away sides – will battle it out to win the prestigious Charity Cup. And to take part and play for Wednesday – alongside some special sporting guest stars and celebrity players – all players have to do is raise a minimum of £500 per person.

In return, players get full use of the SWFC player’s facilities and changing rooms, receive an SWFC kit, and a meal after the game for themselves and a guest as well as a souvenir team photograph and player’s medal.

“This is always an unforgettable occasion for any real Owls fan,” said St Luke’s Corporate fundraising manager Jack Kidder.

“It’s a truly unique opportunity to step out onto the famous Wednesday pitch and be part of a memorable sporting occasion.”

People in Wisewood will soon have a new space to play, relax and enjoy the outdoors, as Sheffield City Council has approved funding to develop a new park and playground at Spider Park, on the site of the former Wisewood School, and consultation has previously been carried out to establish the type of play facility that could be provided.

The plans from this consultation work will form a starting point for the project and further engagement will take place among local people, to review this important work for the Wisewood community. The new park is the last piece of the jigsaw for leisure opportunities in the Wisewood area, after Wisewood Leisure Centre and the on-site pitches were developed in recent years.

Curtain up Ecclesfield Priory Players are very proud of their small 98-seat theatre in the heart of Ecclesfield Village. They would like to invite anyone to come and have a look round, backstage included, and see how a theatre works.

Turning back time at Wentworth Woodhouse Time stood still for decades at Wentworth Woodhouse. One of the greatest houses in England which hosted kings and queens, fell into sad decline.

But it’s standing still no more.

During 2019, huge strides were made to shore up the future of the Grade I listed Georgian stately home in Rotherham, now owned by the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust.

Emergency repairs to huge swathes of the roof were completed, protecting key areas of the mansion and its riding school against the elements.

It was also a year of growth for the Trust, which bought the mansion, its Stables, Riding School, Camellia House and 83 acres in March 2017 for £7million.

Donald Insall Associates, the country’s leading specialists in historical architecture are employed on the project and commented: “Working closely with Historic England, we have tested our conservation and repair philosophy at every opportunity to ensure work we do now is appropriate and will last the test of time.”

Welcome to my office Views from the roofs of S6 Simon Slater of Slaters Aerial Services has a different ‘office view’ to most of us – a rooftop vista of Sheffield. But can you guess where exactly he was when he took this photograph?

To find out see next month’s Sixer or follow @SlatersAerials on Twitter – the answer will be revealed at the end of each month.

Meanwhile congratulations to Bob who won Simon’s Christmas competition. Here he is receiving his festive hamper from Simon from Slaters Aerials and Tom from Slaters Digital.

INTERVIEW

Think big THE OPPORTUNITY TO RUN ONE OF THE CITY’S LARGEST KITCHENS WAS TOO GOOD TO TURN DOWN, SAYS HEAD CHEF OF THE OEC, SAM LINDSAY. s head chef of The OEC – Owlerton Events & Conferencing – Sam Lindsay can find himself responsible for feeding up to 500 people in a single evening or lunchtime. One day over the busy Christmas and New Year period he was head of a team that served up 750 meals in a single day.

The job of heading up the catering division of Sheffield’s newest and biggest dining concern seems just perfect for Sam, who joined the late and much loved Baldwin’s Omega as an apprentice and stayed for 20 years, the last 15 as senior sous chef.

But when Baldwin’s closed in July 2018, Sam could have gone in a very different direction. He’d learned all the tricks of the trade about cooking for large numbers from the indomitable David Baldwin, but memories of being sent by ‘Mr B’ on work placements to smaller, high end dining establishments such as Rick Stein’s seafood restaurant in Cornwall and Langan’s Brasserie in London did give Sam pause for thought.

“I did wonder whether it was time to scale down and work in a smaller kitchen,” he recalls. “But then this opportunity came along, a chance to do something from scratch for big numbers.

It’s what I was trained to do for 20 years, and it seemed silly to say no.”

For Sam one of the big attractions of working at a brand new venue was the

A

opportunity to command a kitchen that had been specifically designed to meet the demands of cooking for large numbers.

“So many old hotels have been knocked around and altered over the years, you end up carrying the food along endless corridors before it can be served.

“So having a purpose-built conferencing and banqueting kitchen, where everything has been thought through, is great for me.”

There are in fact two kitchens at the OEC. Downstairs is the ‘prep kitchen’ where all the heavy lifting is done in terms of cooking and food preparation.

This includes some seriously impressive new kit such as the £20,000 bratt pan, which works like a giant pressure cooker and can cook 150 lamb shanks in 40 minutes, as opposed to three hours in a conventional oven.

Food is then transferred upstairs in a lift to the second kitchen, which has double doors which lead directly into the main dining room. It all seems perfectly thought through, so what’s the main skill in cooking for several hundred people?

“It’s a team effort,” says Sam. “You have to talk to your client and know exactly what they want but but while some dishes work better than others I’d say it’s possible to cook almost anything from fresh.

“I don’t like to buy anything in. A lot

of hotels might not bake their own bread or cakes or make the desserts but my view is the chefs here can all cook, we’ve got the equipment, so we do it all here.

“I don’t shy away from a challenge. If you want scallops for 300 people that’s what we’ll do. But certain foods just will not wait – once they’re on the plate they need to be sent straight out of the kitchen and eaten.

“That’s why you don’t just need to have a good team in the kitchen. You need a good relationship with the frontof-house staff and an operating manager who is spot on when it comes to getting everyone sat down on time.”

Opening just before Christmas was a real baptism of fire for the OEC team, with a heavy programme of parties and celebrations, but now they are settled in to their surroundings with a busy diary for 2020 of tribute nights, charity balls, school proms, conferences, boxing and kick boxing events – plus, of course, the Westside Restaurant and Bar Awards on Monday 8 June.

All in all, it looks like being a busy and successful year for the man running the kitchen of the city’s newest events and conferencing venue.

HEROES

Monumental challenge TWENTY-FIVE KILIMANJARO CLIMBERS RAISE OVER £100,000 FOR SHEFFIELD CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL. group of determined charity supporters from across Yorkshire and Derbyshire recently headed to Tanzania to climb Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, for Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

The compassionate trekkers included nurses, teachers, businesspeople and families who have been helped by the hospital. They started as strangers with one goal, to make the facilities at Sheffield Children’s the best they could by raising lots of money.

The Kilimanjaro trek took seven days and featured climbs of over 1,000m, taking in difficult altitudes as well as tricky climates. The group were exposed to extreme elements, testing the group’s resilience with spells of hail and snow.

The summit trek was the most demanding, involving more than nine hours of hiking in freezing temperatures

throughout the night. Despite the challenging conditions, they reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro during the early hours, having raised over £100,000 for the hospital.

Scott Bailey, one of the climbers and a long-term supporter of the charity, said: “Summit night was by far the hardest part but knowing the difference we were making for young patients at the hospital

kept us all going. Reaching the top together is an experience I’ll never forget.”

After they summitted the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, the team descended for 36 hours, rapidly dropping altitude levels until they reached the base.

Cheryl Davidson, another member of the team, who organised the event for The Children’s Hospital Charity added: “From start to finish, the trek was a difficult experience for everyone, but we thought of the amazing patients at our hospital and what they go through every day. They were the motivation when times were tough.”

Having completed one of the most difficult events The Children’s Hospital Charity has ever planned, it’s safe to say the team have become friends for life.

Another climber, Rachel Bearpark,

HEROES

who is a health visitor for Sheffield Children’s Hospital continued: “We only spent ten days together, but we’ve become one big family. You eat, cry and laugh together. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to share the experience with, all the hard work has been absolutely worth it.”

The more than £100,000 raised will go towards the Build a Better Future appeal, to help build a new Emergency Department and on-site Helipad at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, as well as transform the Cancer and Leukaemia ward.

Sheffield Children’s Hospital’s Emergency Department is a nationally designated Major Trauma Centre for South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw. The department was designed to see 32,000 children a year but last year saw 56,965 patients.

The appeal would also create muchneeded space, particularly for criticallyill patients by expanding the resuscitation area. It will also create more treatment spaces, a dedicated space for patients with mental health issues or learning difficulties and a separate area for adolescents which is not currently available.

The fundraising will also help build an on-site helipad, which will mean patients can be brought to the hospital via air ambulance outside of daylight hours. Helicopters currently land in the nearby Weston Park during the day and cross the A57 to access the Emergency Department.

The final strand of the appeal will transform the Cancer and Leukaemia ward at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

The ward treats children from babies through to 19-year-olds in South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire and even as far south as Northampton.

It is one of 20 principle treatment centres in the UK and also cares for patients who have other problems including bleeding and inherited disorders.

The refreshed ward would have private patient rooms with en-suite facilities, giving patients a place to make their own and space for a parent to sleep comfortably alongside them.

Under the plans, the ward footprint would also be increased, with larger bed bays and more isolation rooms.

We’re on the hunt for heroes in 2020 Never mind Superman or Wonder Woman... Sixer is on the look-out for some real life local heroes.

We know there are lots of people out there who dedicate a huge part of their lives to making the world a better place for others.

Do you know someone who is going that extra mile to raise funds for a good cause or make a difference in their community? Has a friend or relative overcome adversity and channelled their energies into helping others?

Please let us know... so we can share the good news in Sixer every month.

DO YOU REMEMBER?

Fancy a pint?

THESE WATERING HOLES FROM YESTERDAY STILL BEAR AN UNCANNY RESEMEMBLANCE TO THEIR MODERN DAY COUNTERPARTS. DO YOU RECOGNISE THEM? his is the time of year when many of us turn over a new leaf and vow to stay away from the demon drink for while to counter the worst effect of festive indulgence.

But for those of you who have not embraced the sober delights of a dry month, here are three classic shots of popular local pubs to bring you good cheer at the start of 2020. Let us know if it brings back memories of good times gone by.

December’s ‘retail therapy’ special brought you three examples from the early 20th century of the type of general store that is hard to find these days. H.A. Lingard’s ironmongery store on Middlewood Road, Hillsborough (complete with magnificent choice of individually priced garden spades!) was snapped c.1905 while we also focused on the Brightside & Carbrook Co-op, in High Street, Ecclesfield and Gibson’s shop and Bells stories in Chapeltown.
