EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical plan of freehold estates in the charming hamlet of Wadsley, nestled within the township of Bradfield and parish of Ecclesfield. The year is 1857, and this meticulously detailed map was created for the purpose of auctioning off various lots to potential buyers. Lot 13 encompasses a close of arable land known as the Well Acres, with esteemed tenant John Fowler, esquire. Moving on to Lot 14, we find three picturesque pasture lands named Cowshut Cliff, Near Cowshut Cliff, and Far Cowshut Cliff - each boasting tenants Joseph Kay and Edmund Lees. Additionally featured in this remarkable plan is Lot 18: The Cow Ing at Worral - a lush close of pasture land under the care of tenant Thomas Turner. Lastly, Lot 19 presents an intriguing combination comprising a croft, shop, house, yard barn and garden all expertly maintained by tenant Thomas Knott. Signed by none other than Thomas Huchinson himself and scaled at an impressive ratio of 3 chains to every inch; this extraordinary piece resides today at Sheffield Local Studies Library within their invaluable collection titled "Sale Plans" dated October 7th in that memorable year. A true treasure trove for history enthusiasts seeking insight into the past landscapes surrounding Wadsley and Worral areas while also serving as a testament to Sheffield's rich heritage.
