Can you identify this Sheffield street from yesteryear?

I can't see any houses on Granville Road with doors front doors side by side with that depth of frontage or anything with such ornate doorways either.

The picture looks suspiciously like Conduit Road. Check out the ecclesiastical doorways.

That is a cracking call and it led me to go one step further in an attempt to track down the exact house on google streetview. I think you are right and I reckon the postcard is no.52 Conduit road, which is this one.

At the minute my guess is still slightly vague however I am trying to spot slight features in both properties to confirm it and I think I have found a few.

 

In fact looking at it now I have examined features in the brick work and I have picked up four obvious similarities which in my opinion pretty much nail it on as the same house, so yes I am going for No.52. Pretty much certain of it.

 

These are the similarities.

That side by side looks spot on.

Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to do the comparison piece. I've checked on the Streetview link and that's a direct hit, I reckon.

 

Mystery: SOLVED. Case: CLOSED!

 

Thanks to all on this one.

 

John.
