Pitsmoor: A Peek into the Past

Invitation to Pitsmoor History Book launch

Saturday 16th June 11 am – 2 pm

Burngreave Local History Group invites you to the launch of their first local history book: “Pitsmoor, a Peek into the Past – a Snapshot of Life and Times in Victorian Pitsmoor”.

The Burngreave local History Group was started in 2009 by the Burngreave Messenger. With the help of Local History Tutor SuzanneBingham, the amazing resources available at Sheffield Local Studies Library and Sheffield Archives, and after months of research, local residents have put together a collection of articles about the streets, buildings and people of Pitsmoor in the Victorian Era.

Please come along to Burngreave Library, on Saturday 16th June,11am-2pm, to help us celebrate the completion of “Pitsmoor, a Peek into the Past”. You will be able to enjoy looking at the book and our local history exhibition.

There will also be light refreshments.

Books will be available on the day for £7, and in Burngreave Library after the launch. The cost of printing the book is being met through sales.

We hope to see you there
