Deserted Streets of Sheffield

At the end of March 2020, it was reported that my home town of Sheffield, England had the highest number of coronavirus cases outside of London.

When I read this news, a wave of panic came over me. Like most other people, I had only been leaving the house for shopping and exercise, but after reading this, I did not want to go anywhere. The Director of Public Health for Sheffield stated that the numbers in Sheffield were so high because Sheffield was doing more testing than other areas.

After the initial panic had gone away slightly, I decided I would try and document some of the strange times that globally we are all facing and so, when I went out for my daily exercise, I took along my phone in order to capture some images.

Stay at home notice in Meersbrook Park.
The Cross Scythes at Norton Lees.
Woodseats Homebase.
Closed McDonald’s Restaurant.
