JUHS bi-monthly meeting – July 2025

Don’t miss our upcoming bi-monthly meeting on Tuesday 22nd July at 10:30am, when we will be the guests of the National Fairground and Circus Archive at the University of Sheffield’s Western Bank Library. Read the agenda here.

It promises to be a stimulating session, with presentations on the NFCA itself, on the Special Collections, and how to book a visit, make reproduction requests or access the collections online. For those attending in person there will also be a chance to see items from the collection.

Getting there: The NFCA is at Western Bank Library which is immediately next to the Arts Tower. It can be reached directly from Bolsover Street/Winter Street and is a short walk from Brook Hill/Western Bank. Bus routes 10, 10a and 95 run along Bolsover Street/Winter Street and routes 51, 52 and 52a run up Western Bank and down Glossop Road. The University tram stop (Yellow and Blue services) is about 300m away. There is some on-street parking on Crookes Valley Road and Mushroom Lane, but it tends to fill up quickly.

We do hope to see you there, but if you’re not able to be there in person then as usual this will be a “hybrid” meeting. You can take part online via Zoom using this link:

This is an exciting opportunity to get to know more about this critical national resource based in Sheffield. Please do come and join us.

JUHS bi-monthly meetings are open to all, whatever their interest in heritage. They are an opportunity to hear from local heritage groups about their work and a great chance to make connections and to discuss problems and opportunities for Sheffield’s heritage. The agenda also includes a guest speaker and an update on what JUHS has been doing to promote a better-resourced and better-connected presentation of heritage. Most meetings are “hybrid”, so you can either attend in person or online via Zoom.
