A visitor to Sheffield has put his photographic skills to clever use in showing the city’s past.
Andrew Farris has a website, http://onthisspot.ca/sheffield.html. Viewers can activate a fade in and out effect of photographs taken from the same spot as historic images.

Andrew said: “I’m a photographer from Canada and happened to be in Sheffield a few months ago. I put together a series of interactive Then and Now photos of the city.
“I think they’re a cool way to step back in time and serve to illustrate the dramatic changes Sheffield has experienced over the last century and more.”
