Caption: This print captures the Sheffield School Board Election of 1888, a pivotal moment in the city's educational and political history. The image showcases a group portrait of the candidates vying for positions on the board, each one representing their own unique vision for advancing education in Sheffield. Amongst those featured are Reverend J. Gilmore, B. Fletcher, S. H. Ward, J. D. Fawcett, A. G. Winnill/Winnill, Rev. J. Darbyshire, W. Parkin and W. Colver - all prominent figures who played significant roles in shaping Sheffield's educational landscape. The photograph serves as a testament to the importance placed on education during this era and highlights the fierce competition that surrounded school board elections at the time. Preserved within Sheffield Local Studies Library's archives (MP 100 M), this historical gem provides invaluable insights into not only local politics but also broader societal attitudes towards education. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of how far our educational system has come since then while acknowledging the contributions made by these individuals who dedicated themselves to improving access to quality schooling for all children in Sheffield
