This vintage print captures the grandeur of Springfield School, an architectural masterpiece located at the corner of Broomspring Lane, Cavendish Street, and Broomhall Street in Sheffield. Built in 1874, this magnificent building stands proudly in the Ecclesiastical District of St. Silas. The architects' design showcases intricate details and elegant bell towers that add a touch of sophistication to the school's façade. The floor plans reveal thoughtful layouts that maximize space and functionality for its primary scholars. Situated in the heart of the city centre, Springfield School occupies a freehold site spanning 1954 square yards. Originally purchased from Messrs. Hoyland and their lessees, it included eleven dwelling-houses, workshops, and sheds within its boundaries. With a total area measuring 8154 square feet and cubical contents reaching an impressive 139,994 cubic feet, this educational institution can accommodate up to 752 students comfortably. The construction contract covered not only buildings but also fittings and furniture necessary for creating an optimal learning environment. Remarkably affordable at just 15 shillings for both land acquisition and construction costs combined. Springfield School is a testament to timeless architecture blended seamlessly with functional design elements. This historical photograph serves as a reminder of Sheffield's rich educational heritage while showcasing the remarkable talent behind its creation.
