Upperthorpe, a historic neighborhood in Sheffield, is steeped in rich history and charm. Its origins can be traced back to the 19th century when Crookesmoor School was established in 1874, providing education to generations of local children. The landscape has seen many changes over the years. The Sheffield Royal Infirmary Chapel on Infirmary Road stood proudly since around 1910, offering solace and comfort to those seeking healing. A plan from 1826 reveals the layout of this vibrant township along with neighboring Nether Hallam. Bond Street, captured in a photograph from circa 1910, showcases the bustling streets and thriving community that once thrived here. Meanwhile, land at Upperthorpe and an estate at Hollins near Malin Bridge were acquired by Stannington's hamlet residents in 1869. A significant development occurred in 1881 when the executors of P Ashberry's estate laid out Crookes Moor for building purposes. This marked a turning point for Upperthorpe as it expanded its residential areas and welcomed new inhabitants. In an era where wash day drudgery was prevalent, advertisements promoting wash houses emerged in 1939 - offering respite from tedious household chores. These establishments aimed to banish the burden of laundry while fostering community spirit among residents. As time progressed into the mid-20th century, a breathtaking view over Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe showcased their architectural beauty against Sheffield's skyline in a snapshot from 1962. This image encapsulates both nostalgia for bygone days and hope for future growth. Maps depicting North East Derbyshire S21-1 and Sheffield S6-3 highlight how Upperthorpe remains an integral part of these regions' fabric - connecting communities through shared heritage.
