Image: © Peter Barr Taken: 2 Apr 2012
On Abbeydale Road,at Highfield in Sheffield, a row of terrace houses. Between 99 and 101 a plaque is inset into the brickwork above the passageway. It depicts a man, wearing a hat. He might perhaps have been a local knife maker. "Mester" is the Sheffield dialect for master, and the term refers mostly to self employed men making cutlery or other edge tools.
