"Heeley: A Journey Through Time and Space" Step into the captivating world of Heeley, a vibrant neighborhood in Sheffield that has witnessed countless stories unfold over the years. From its humble beginnings to its present-day charm, Heeley holds a rich tapestry of history and culture. In 1906, the magnificent design for Primrose Meadows' public baths at Broadfield Road showcased Heeley's commitment to providing essential facilities for its residents. Meanwhile, an advertisement for Holt Mild Ale in Birmingham reminds us of the area's thriving brewing industry. The St. Peters Mission Free Church, later known as the Church of the Nazarene, stood proudly on Fitzroy Road around 1910—a testament to Heeley's strong sense of community and faith. However, not all historical marks were benevolent; a copied German Ordnance Survey map revealed chilling bombing targets during wartime. C. T. Skelton's Sheafbank Works represented Heeley's industrial prowess as edge tool manufacturers in 1896—an era when craftsmanship thrived amidst progress. Delving further back into time reveals maps from 1758 depicting strips and closes between Heeley Town Gate and Heeley Green—traces of an agrarian past now transformed by urbanization. As property auctions became prominent in shaping Heeley's landscape, plans showcasing freehold properties at Sharrow Head and Nether Heeley emerged in 1851 and 1783 respectively—a reminder that change is constant throughout history. It also embraced artistic expression with pride—the cover of the Art Club Catalogue from 1912 showcases local talent flourishing within this creative hub. And beyond city limits lay Norton Lees' freehold country residence and farm up for sale in 1863—a glimpse into rural beauty just moments away from bustling streets. Join us on this journey through time as we unravel the layers that make up this remarkable neighborhood.
