"Unveiling the Historical Tapestry of Fairbank: A Journey through Sheffield's Past" Step into the rich history of Sheffield with a glimpse into the meticulous plans and maps crafted by William Fairbank. In 1771, his accurate depiction of the town in "A Correct Plan of the Town of Sheffield" offered a window into its layout and structure. The intricate details were further refined in 1797 when W. Fairbank drew "A Plan of the Town of Sheffield, " later engraved by Thomas Harris. As time progressed, more areas were explored and documented. The survey conducted by W and J Fairbank in 1804 revealed Norton's hidden gems, showcasing its unique charm within Yorkshire County. Moving forward to c. 1826, a captivating plan emerged, revealing part of both Sheffield and Nether Hallam townships. Delving deeper into specific locations within Sheffield, we discover Owlerton's intriguing landmarks such as Lady Burgoynes land - White House, High House, Hill Foot, Limerick Wheel - all captured on paper in 1825. Meanwhile, Owlerton Hall estate was meticulously mapped out during that same year. The evolving landscape continued to be recorded for posterity; Ranmoor and Nether Green found their place on a detailed plan from 1830 while Nether Heeley was skillfully depicted back in 1783. Venturing beyond city limits reveals fascinating insights too – Stephen Hawksworths Farm at Nether Green is immortalized on a map dating back to 1746 while Heeley's land unfolds before our eyes with an exquisite map from 1758. Not forgetting Sharrow Moor’s industrial heritage. In 1764 came "Plan of the Snuff Mill, " offering an intimate look at Cutlers Wheel adjoining the Dam – remnants that tell tales from yesteryears. While exploring these historical treasures may transport us back centuries ago, it is essential not to overlook the present.
