EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "Plan of Norton Cliffe Field Estate" from 1856. The mastermind behind this detailed survey is none other than Samuel F. Holmes, a renowned surveyor from Sheffield. With precision and expertise, Holmes meticulously laid out the building allotments within this estate, leaving no stone unturned. The lithographer responsible for bringing this plan to life is Parkin and Bacon, also hailing from Sheffield. Their skilled hands transformed Holmes' vision into an exquisite piece of art that now stands as a testament to their craftsmanship. As we delve into the image, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and potential of Norton Cliffe Fields and Woodseats on that fateful day in July 1856. The map reveals a network of lanes, streets, roads, terraces, and even a view of Beauchief Whitehouse. While exploring every corner of this remarkable estate through our eyes alone may seem impossible today due to its transformation over time, we can still appreciate the historical significance it holds for Derbyshire's landscape. Let us cherish this extraordinary glimpse into history preserved by Sheffield City Archives' Local Studies Library through their collection titled "Beautiful freehold building sites and gardens". May it serve as an everlasting reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who shaped our cities with their visionary plans like Samuel F. Holmes did with Norton Cliffe Field Estate.
