The Way We Used to Live: Park Hill Sheffield - Archive film with live music

Shot around 1957, the film provides an insight into the dense housing and tough living conditions for many people living in Park at that time.

There are many shots of the area, some with people doing daily chores and children playing. Streets shown including Shrewsbury Road, Duke Street Lane, Gilbert Street, The Sun Inn, Hague Lane, South St, Stafford Street, Rhodes Street, Talbot Street, Duke Street and many more.
