EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the year 1825, showcasing a detailed plan of the Halifax Turnpike Road between Sheffield and Penistone. Created by W. and J. Fairbank, this historical document provides an invaluable glimpse into the transportation infrastructure of that era. Measuring at an impressive size of 42 x 34 cm, this meticulously crafted map reveals not only the existing road network but also proposed diversions and branches in the area. The scale of 2.6 inches to 3 miles ensures that every minute detail is accurately represented. The significance of this plan lies in its depiction of progress and development during a time when road connectivity was crucial for economic growth and social interaction. It showcases how communities were linked together through these vital arteries, fostering trade, communication, and cultural exchange. As we observe this remarkable piece from Local Studies E5S collection at Sheffield City Archives, it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and the tireless efforts made by our ancestors to shape our present landscape. Let us appreciate their foresight in planning such intricate routes that have stood the test of time
