EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Ordnance Survey Map of the Fitzalan Square area in 1889. The map, sheet no. Yorkshire No. 294.8.17, provides a fascinating glimpse into the bustling streets and landmarks of Sheffield during this era. In the top left corner, we can spot Watson's Walk, Waterloo Turf Tavern, Commercial Street, Shude Hill, Fish Market, and various other notable locations. Ponds Works stands out with its steel and iron production entrance on Shude Hill. Mappin Brothers' Queen's Plate and Cutlery Works also make their mark alongside prominent establishments like Sheffield United Gas and Light Company and the General Post Office. Moving to the top right section of the map reveals Commercial Street, Sheaf Market, Low Street, Electric Light Works and Telephone Exchange among others. Noteworthy buildings such as Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on South Street and [Park] School for Boys and Girls add depth to this historical snapshot. The bottom left quadrant highlights Norfolk Street along with Joseph Rodgers & Sons Ltd Cutlery Works on Flat Street. Other significant features include Palm Tree Works by Wilks & Hawksley on Pond Hill and Sycamore Works on Sycamore Street. Lastly, in the bottom right corner lies Granville Hill leading to Sheaf Mill (corn), River Sheaf flowing under Dyer's Bridge towards Anson Street. This remarkable piece of history was surveyed in 1889 with dimensions measuring 77 x 102 cm at a scale of 10.56 feet:1 mile [1:500]. Preserved at Sheffield Libraries under reference q00083 (sheet no.
