EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1758, showcasing a remarkable map titled "Map of Several strips and a close between Heeley Town Gate and Heeley Green, on (modern Gleadless Road), Sheffield". The map was originally created by the skilled surveyor William Fairbank I, depicting parcels of land belonging to the Duke of Norfolk and R. Gillot. The intricate details presented in this historical artifact are truly fascinating. The use of colors distinguishes ownership, allowing viewers to discern different property boundaries at a glance. Field names and acreages are meticulously listed alongside the map, providing valuable information about each specific area. One notable feature is how free land and Dukes land are clearly differentiated on the map. Symbols marking mear stones and trees add an extra layer of visual interest while helping navigate through this ancient landscape. A scale ribbon thoughtfully placed within the composition aids in measuring distances accurately. The yellow border frames this piece beautifully, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.
