Sheffield Road (East side) : General view ; Heath & other shops
This view of the east side of the street dates from 1960, looking towards Mat Day Green in the distance. The parade of shops were demolished and replaced to make way for the new Alhambra complex and new road system, so is hardly recognisable today. Heath's toy shop can be seen on the right of the image, at number 22, present at this location from 1959; and next door at 20 was the wallpaper shop of C. Credland (1934-1964), one of the longest occupiers of this group of shops. Of similar vintage (1934) at number 18 was Neal's music store.
