EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1752, offering a glimpse into the intricate details of Barley Croft and The Dukes land in Stannington, Yorkshire. Surveyed by the skilled William Fairbank II, this map showcases an intriguing proposed exchange between two prominent figures of that era - the Duke of Norfolk and Mrs Bamforth. The map itself is meticulously crafted with a scale of 2 chains to 1 inch, providing an accurate representation of the area's landscape. A fascinating aspect lies in its inclusion of acreages and field names, allowing us to delve deeper into the historical significance attached to each plot. Additionally, detailed listings provide information on exchanged acreages while boundaries and borders are thoughtfully colored for clarity. Preserved as part of Sheffield Libraries' collection (arc03003), this remarkable piece from Sheffield City Archives offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich history embedded within these lands. It serves as a testament to both the expertise of surveyor William Fairbank II and his dedication towards documenting such exchanges during that period. As we admire this photo print, it is important to note that it should not be used for commercial purposes. Instead, let us appreciate its value as a window into our past - one that sheds light on significant land transactions and paints a vivid picture of life in Stannington over two centuries ago.
