Auction_Gall Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 We have just published a Specialist Auction of old maps which includes many of Sheffield and its surrounding areas, which we thought many of you will be interested in.  Included in this auction is a particularly interesting original 1925 Harris & Sheldon Ltd. Architect's Design in colour of the proposed new shop front for Redgates Ltd. Toy Shop, Moorhead, Sheffield. 120cm x 54cm.  I am sure, this will obviously invoke many nostalgic memories amongst you, as it did for us! My parents used to drag us around Sheffield in the 1980's and if we were good our reward was to visit Redgates!  The auction is listed online on both bidding platforms, one of which is: -  https://www.the-saleroom.com/.../catalogue-id-srsh10570 https://www.easyliveauction.com/catalogue/5a2a4152fdcfad1f97f09bc074f7c5c4/0af8d24542e81eb9357e7ef448a6646f/clocks-and-maps-auction/  2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant68 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 The most fascinating thing I noticed about this, is the fact that there is no mention of toys on the frontage ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
