If you go to your link and click on "side by side" you get the ordnance survey maps alongside what is there now. Very interesting.
The first picture shows the aforementioned Walsh's going up in flames. Very evocotive.12th December and 15th December 1940. The nights the Luftwaffe decided to take out the munitions and armaments works in Sheffield. It was codenamed 'Crucible' by the Germans. On the first night c.12,000 bombs were dropped. Whether it was poor planning or a deliberate policy, most of these fell in and around the city centre, rather than further down the Don Valley where the steel works were all located. Vicar Lane, Campo Lane took direct hits, as did the Cathedral. Later the C&A building was hit and more or less flattened and later the Marples Hotel opposite was hit, killing around 70. Earlier in the evening the early bombings hit Norton and Gleadless.
2nd night the bombs were more incendiary. Over 11,000 of these were dropped in that raid, this time targeting the steelworks, Hadfields and Brown Bayleys particularly hit.
In total more than 660 people were killed, over 1,500 injured and more than 40,000 people were made homeless 78,000 homes were damaged and many businesses in the city centre were damaged or destroyed.
This was Broomhall:
Walkley
The Moor
And, of course, Bramall Lane, John Street stand
The King visits the aftermath
It’s not just the north. No one wants to work for a local authority. I worked for one of the major London ones for a while and my line manager had to explain to me that I shouldn’t be too hard on some of the other staff because local authorities had to recruit from the bottom of the pond. I didn’t stay long.
Sorry but having spent most of today explaining to an architect why they can’t fucking build what they’ve shown on their drawings I have little sympathy for your argument.

Colin Viljoen (probably spelled/spelt wrongly) TC, Salmons , Spieght, Steve Faulkner*, Mick Mills
From right to left: Hodgy, Piggy, not sure, Dirty Twat.
You are thinking of Ian MacKenzie. It is not him, it is Steve Faulkner playing his second 1st team match, Ipswich 1 (Whymark) Blades 1 (Woodward pen) my dad said that the match was the first time he heard me use a swearword!
I think it's Mick Hill...Silent?
Badge and Woody in background.
No. See benn5712 's answer
Just realised you meant the Blade between Billy and Jack. Think it is Bernard Shaw.
Ahh Bernard Shaw..I couldn't work out who it was and thought it looked a bit like Mick Hill.
The team was; Hodgkinson, Badger, Shaw, Munks, Mallender, Barlow, Woodward, Carlin, Addison, T Wagstaff and Reece.
That shirt has more red than the new one. Just saying.
Definitely Bernard Shaw. This was the FA Cup match in 1968 which we lost 1-0. The photo was on the cover of the Park Drive football book that came out yearly. I am in the crowd somewhere between Shaw and Charlton.
Hobott stands for House of Barrington ,which was a shop and kit supplier based on Abbeydale rd. I was a good schoolfriend of David Barrington whos father (tony ?) owned the business. David was a good friend of Daniel and Simon Sugar sons of Alan but when he became a director of JJB he got mixed up in a fraud and ended up going to jail in a well publicised case. Tony and David were both very keen Sheff Utd fans and House of Barrington also dealt in Antiques.
