EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Walkley School, a true architectural gem designed in 1874. Standing proudly at the top of Greaves Street, on the Walkley Road, within the Ecclesiastical District of St. Mary's in Sheffield, Yorkshire, this remarkable building is situated on freehold land purchased from Mr. John Armitage and Mr. James Parker. Spanning an impressive area of 2400 square yards (exclusive of streets), this school offers ample space for learning and growth. The various rooms within boast a combined surface area of 7447 superficial feet while accommodating an astounding 709 scholars. Its voluminous contents measure an astonishing 120,057 cubic feet. The construction project for this educational institution was awarded to Innocent and Brown architects at a cost of only ten shillings! Additionally, the purchase price for the site amounted to another ten shillings, resulting in a total expenditure that reflects both efficiency and value. Preserved by Sheffield City Archives, this print allows us to marvel at the grandeur and historical significance of Walkley School. It serves as a testament to Sheffield's commitment to education and its dedication towards providing exceptional facilities for generations past and present.
