Tony Allwright Photo Gallery: Broomhall in the Snow, 1978-79

Tony Allwright moved to Sheffield in the 1970s. As a keen amateur photographer, he took an interest in documenting the people and buildings of many areas of Sheffield, including Broomhall.

The hundreds of photos of Broomhall that he has kindly shared with OUR Broomhall have been split into different ‘Galleries’.

This gallery contains views of the area and some young residents following a snowfall.
