EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Plan of Commercial Hotel and public house, known as the Commercial Tap, along with its stables and outbuildings in Sheffield's Haymarket area. The auction listing from 1866 describes Lot 1 as a spacious and well-established hotel situated in the prime location of Haymarket. It includes various outbuildings, a yard, and other adjoining amenities spread across a site measuring 261 square yards. Lot 2 comprises the premises known as the Commercial Tap, located on Commercial Street directly opposite the Commercial Hotel. This lot also features stabling for up to 16 horses, carriage houses, sheds, and additional outbuildings. At that time, Mr Simms held tenancy-at-will for these premises. The significance of this property lies not only in its historical establishment but also in its strategic position within Sheffield's bustling town center. As one of the oldest inns in Sheffield, it enjoys undeniable superiority for business due to its central location on a major thoroughfare. Furthermore, upcoming developments are set to significantly enhance its value; notably, a new station on the Midland railway line will be constructed nearby while a new street leading to this station is being built right in front of these premises. Additionally worth mentioning is that plans have been finalized for constructing Sheffield's new General Post Office at the corner where this new street intersects with another road leading to the station—directly opposite from our featured hotel.
