Refurbishment of a building, Sheffield city centre, South Yorkshire, 1967. The refurbishment of Oxford house, a city centre office block in Barkers Pool.

Refurbishment of a Building, Sheffield City Centre, South Yorkshire, 1967 - A Glimpse into Urban Renewal
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures the bustling city center of Sheffield in 1967 during the refurbishment of Oxford House. The image showcases the transformation taking place as scaffolding envelops the office block, signifying an era when commercial units were being revitalized. The architectural charm of this period is evident in the selection of 1960s cars that dot Barkers Pool Avenue. Two Ford Anglias, an Austin 1000, a Triumph, and an Austin Van add vibrancy to this snapshot frozen in time. These vehicles not only serve as reminders of transportation trends but also reflect the spirit and style of British society at that time. Oxford House itself would go on to house a branch of Nationwide Building Society by the late 2000s. However, it is through this photograph that we can appreciate its earlier incarnation amidst a changing landscape. Captured by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this image offers us a glimpse into both history and architecture. It transports us back to an era when urban renewal was transforming cities across Britain. The monochrome composition adds depth and character to every detail captured within its frame. As we admire this print today, let us celebrate how heritage images like these allow us to connect with our past while appreciating how far we have come as a country - both architecturally and culturally.
