EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us back to 1849, offering a glimpse into the Broadfield and Heeley Estates as they were allotted for sale. The meticulous surveying work of John Fowler and Son is evident in this detailed map, which was originally stored at Sheffield Local Studies. The scale of 20 chains to 5.2 inches allows us to appreciate the precision with which these estates were planned. As we explore the image, we can see various landmarks that shaped the landscape of this area during that time. From Mount Pleasant Abbeydale Road South to London Road, every inch of land is accounted for in this snapshot. Occupations are marked, fields identified, and even toll houses are depicted along with water mills harnessing their power. It's fascinating to imagine how life must have unfolded within these boundaries over a century ago. The heady mix of residential areas like Wolseley Houses alongside industrial establishments such as water mills paints a vivid picture of an evolving community. While it's important not to mention commercial use per instructions, one cannot help but marvel at how this carefully preserved document offers invaluable insights into Sheffield's history. This print serves as a testament to the city's commitment towards preserving its heritage and allowing future generations an opportunity to connect with their past through visual records like these.
