EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back in time to the year 1899, capturing a significant moment in the history of Tinsley, Sheffield. The focal point of this image is Tram No. 1, an iconic symbol of transportation during that era. However, what truly makes this photograph remarkable is the presence of Lord Mayor Alderman Samuel Roberts JP (1852-1926) at its center. Alderman Roberts was not only a prominent figure within the community but also went on to achieve great political success as he became the Conservative Member of Parliament for Ecclesall. His dedication and commitment to public service are evident through his participation in events like this one. The image showcases a proud and prosperous city with its tram system serving as a testament to progress and modernity. It offers us a glimpse into daily life in Yorkshire during that period, highlighting both technological advancements and societal values. Preserved by Sheffield Libraries, this original photograph serves as a valuable historical artifact that allows us to connect with our past and appreciate how far we have come since then. It reminds us of individuals like Alderman Samuel Roberts who played pivotal roles in shaping their communities and leaving lasting legacies for future generations
