Tony Allwright Photo Gallery: The 'Cutlery Area'

Tony Allwright moved to Sheffield in the 1970s. As a keen amateur photographer, he took an interest in documenting the people and buildings of many areas of Sheffield, including Broomhall.

The hundreds of photos of Broomhall that he has kindly shared with OUR Broomhall have been split into different galleries.

This Gallery showcases the ‘Cutlery Area’: the area beside Hanover Way (the ‘Ring Road’) that used to house a multitude of small cutlery firms: the famous ‘Little Mesters’. Until the 1970s, the larger form of Viners was also based here.

Remember: once you have clicked a photo to view it full size, you can explore the rest of the gallery using the arrow keys on your keyboard and at the bottom of the photos.
