Sheffield Road : (West side) : Foster Brothers
Foster brothers' clothing shop occupied a prominent corner position at number 17, its presence doubly emphasized by the advertising opportunity at the upper side of the building. Established here as early as 1897, the business continued until 1977, so well over a century of trade. Next to it, The Manshop (15A) attempted to compete but was empty at the time of this 1960 photograph; and also visible is the old butcher's shop of C. Hawke (1893-1962) and the relatively short-lived Don Valley Cleaners (1958-62) at 13B.
