View from the Hill

It was said that “the past is a foreign country” – come with us, then, on a little trip to the foreign country that was Sheffield in the late 1960s. A time of mods and rockers, of hope for a brighter, more modern future: the realisation of Harold Wilson╩╝s “white heat of the technological revolution.” Sheffield has never wallowed in nostalgia – it has always changed – but let╩╝s indulge ourselves for a moment to look back at the city in the late 60s. Hard times for some, but fondly remembered by many. Mick Jones╩╝ photographs will touch your heart and make you wonder over what came to be and what we lost on the way.
