hi guys,

Plug have recently taken the lease on for the Rutland Arms see link below :-
http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=180987

We are looking for Pictures of Sheffield (old & new) which we can put up around the pub.........so if anyone is willing to either donate or sell please pm me.....

I don't have any pictures of Sheffield myself, but in the local history section of the Central Library, they have a database of thousands of old pictures of every part of the city. You can look at the pictures online, and can get print outs, but for use in the pub there may be an extra charge. Worth a look, anyway.

Perhaps 'The Star' can scan some of their archives for you?

fabulous ideas!

You can buy old pics from the star. Why not do a now and then thing with the photos.

You want to PM pete_fcs. He takes fantastic pics of all over Sheffield and has done for many years now. His are very original and striking. Do a search for him on here and take a look at his stuff.

Do you want pictures of the rutland over the years too? If so there were some left behind the bar (where the pub guides were,) when it closed but we have some and can probably get some from Trevor and Phil of past years. Just an idea.

There a very large number under the free to reuse licenses in flickr easy to get hold of and no problem to reuse for free e.g. http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=sheffield&m=text there are a number of groups on flickr such as the sheffield group with 6000 plus images
http://www.flickr.com/search/groups/?w=all&q=sheffield&m=names

have a quick search and I'm sure you can find something if not post a request for specific images there as many sheffield based photographers who will be willing to help.

for the library one here is a good way to get access to some of the images as they are slowly being digitised

anyway good luck and if you need any specific help with online image access PM me and i may be able to advise.

Might be worth asking the Sheffield Photographic Society.

thankyou everybody for your help & assistance.:thumbsup:
