Redfyre Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 ....a brilliant local artist sadly missed - postcard size pics are available at the "Sheffield Scene" shop beside the Town Hall Thanks, Sandyb, but sadly Sheffield Scene does NOt have any postcards. We called in today, and, while they had a couple of framed pictures, they didn't seem to know of any postcard-size pictures. Pity. Perhaps there has never been any cards? Maybe someone in the family will take up the idea --I am sure they would be very popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
