EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage Ordnance Survey map from 1889 showcases the Blake Street area in Netherthorpe, Sheffield. The detailed print provides a fascinating glimpse into the city's history and urban development during that era. The top left section of the map highlights notable streets such as Daniel Hill Street, Elton Street, Harworth Street, and Walkley Street. It also features landmarks like the Blake Hotel (formerly known as Blake Street Hotel), adding to its historical significance. Moving to the top right corner, we see Daniel Hill Street again along with Sheard Road and Fox Road. Other points of interest include White Cottages, Clumber Villas, Fern Villas, and Old Quarry. This part of Sheffield was evidently home to various residential areas and cottages. As we shift our focus to the bottom left portion of the map, Fulton Road takes center stage alongside Fulton Road Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. Upperthorpe is also highlighted here along with an unnamed street later called Birkendale. Notable houses such as Rustling Villa and Hawthorne Mount are marked on this side. Lastly, in the bottom right corner lies Upperthorpe once more along with Vine Cottage and Rose Villa. Landmarks like St. Philips Vicarage add character to this neighborhood while streets like Ada Street provide insight into local infrastructure. Measuring at 77 x 102 cm in its original form with a scale of 10.56 feet : 1 mile [1:500], this piece represents a valuable archival item preserved by Sheffield Libraries for future generations to explore their city's past.
