The map takes us back to the bustling streets and evolving landscape of Sheffield during the early 19th century. With its intricate details and precision, this piece offers a glimpse into the city's rich history. Intriguingly, nestled in the top right-hand corner is Ralph Goslings' map of Sheffield from 1736, providing an intriguing comparison between two pivotal moments in the city's development. This juxtaposition allows us to appreciate how much Sheffield had transformed over nearly a century. The scale of this remarkable map is set at 700 yards to 2.2 inches, allowing for an immersive exploration of every nook and cranny within its borders. From prominent landmarks like churches and markets to winding streets and open spaces, each element has been thoughtfully captured by Leather's skilled hand.
