"Netherthorpe: A Tapestry of History and Innovation" Step into the captivating world of Netherthorpe, a neighborhood steeped in history and brimming with innovation. As we explore its rich tapestry, we uncover fascinating glimpses into the past that have shaped this vibrant community. In 1905, Netherthorpe witnessed an extraordinary event as HM King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra graced Sheffield to inaugurate the prestigious University of Sheffield. The cover of their visit's programme stands as a testament to this momentous occasion. Delving further back in time, an advertisement for Ball Brothers and Co solid steel sheep shears takes us back to the turn of the century. This glimpse into early industry showcases Penistone Road's Globe Works bustling with activity. James Dixon and Sons' Cornish Place advertisement from 1868 transports us even deeper into Netherthorpe's industrial heritage. Their products symbolize craftsmanship at its finest, leaving an indelible mark on Sheffield's legacy. The steel department trade catalogue by Ibbotson Brothers and Company Limited provides insight into their diverse manufacturing prowess in 1928. From saws to bolts, they were instrumental in shaping Netherthorpe's reputation as a hub for quality steel production. Moving beyond metalwork, John Harrison's Norfolk Works was renowned for electroplating and gilding silver nickel goods on Scotland Street. His craftsmanship added elegance to everyday items while showcasing Netherthorpe's artistic flair. Nature intertwines with history through Weston Park – a tranquil oasis within this urban landscape. Design No. 1 for a footbridge dating back to 1874 reveals how architectural vision blended seamlessly with nature’s beauty here. It also played host to royalty during King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra’s visit in 1905 when they opened the University of Sheffield. A cherished souvenir commemorates this grand affair, forever etching it into the neighborhood's collective memory.
