On 14th December 2024 I posted a blog relating to an incident that occurred in July 1960 at 5 Durham Road Sheffield . In the blog I speculated about the housing on Durham Road at the time and I have just found a postcard depicting the houses in question
The scene is possibly from the turn of the twentieth century.
The area nowadays is totally dominated by the buildings of the University of Sheffield which are uninspiring to say the least.
I have just posted an update to the article I posted to the site last year relating to Mr Henry Henderson - the founder of Hendo's Relish and in my opinion one of the finest condiments that have ever been invented.

But whilst I was researching this entry there was a link to the Find A Grave website and there was a rather impressive memorial to the Henderson family
It is situated in Section S of City Road Cemetery, Sheffield and the grave number is Grave Number 9724. Section S is adjacent to the memorial wall and just along from the Crematorium
