Advertisement: Oxcroft Coal by E. A. Stevenson, No. 141 Norfolk Street (Original at Sheffield Local Studies Library MP Folder 50) captures a nostalgic glimpse into the bustling city center of Sheffield in its heyday. This vintage print, carefully preserved at the Sheffield City Archives, takes us back to an era when coal was king and advertising played a vital role in promoting local businesses. The photograph showcases a prominent advertisement for Oxcroft Coal, skillfully designed by E. A. Stevenson, proudly displayed on the side of a building along Norfolk Street. The bold typography and eye-catching imagery instantly draw attention to this trusted brand of coal dealers. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from the past, we are transported to an era where coal was not merely fuel but also symbolized warmth, comfort, and progress for households across the city. The advertisement's strategic placement in such a central location ensured maximum visibility and exposure to passersby. This image serves as a testament to both the artistry of advertising during that time period and the significance of local businesses like Oxcroft Coal within their communities. It offers us a window into Sheffield's vibrant commercial landscape while reminding us of how advertisements once shaped our urban environment. Preserved with care at Sheffield Local Studies Library MP Folder 50, this print is more than just an artifact; it represents an important chapter in Sheffield's history – one that celebrates entrepreneurship and highlights how advertising has evolved over time.
