Originally published as an engraving in 1858, this remarkable piece from the Sheffield City Archives allows us to appreciate the historical significance of this ancient fortress. Sheffield Castle, depicted here with meticulous detail, was once a symbol of power and authority. Its imposing stone walls and towering turrets served as a stronghold for countless rulers throughout history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to an era where knights roamed its courtyards and kings made strategic decisions within its grand halls.
