EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back in time to the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1831. The intricate map, created by R. Creighton, provides a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of that era. With meticulous detail, it indicates various places of election, polling locations, and boroughs that were entitled to return one or two Members of Parliament. The scale of 20 miles to 2 inches allows us to appreciate the vastness and diversity of this historic region. As we examine the map closely, we can almost envision the bustling activity surrounding these electoral sites during a time when democracy was taking shape. Preserved at the Local Studies Library under reference E16VS, this original piece serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and history enthusiasts alike. It offers insights into how elections were conducted centuries ago and sheds light on the democratic processes that have evolved over time. While appreciating this remarkable artifact from our past, it is important not to overlook its significance beyond commercial use. This photograph print reminds us of our collective heritage and encourages exploration into Yorkshire's rich historical tapestry – particularly its political development through elections. Intriguingly detailed yet steeped in nostalgia, this image transports us back to a pivotal moment in West Riding's history while igniting curiosity about how far we have come since those days.
