EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Ordnance Survey Map of the Sheffield School Road and Spring Hill Road area in 1889. The map, known as Yorkshire sheet 294.7.12, provides a detailed glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating snapshot of the city's history. In the top left corner of this meticulously crafted map, we can observe various landmarks and features that once defined this vibrant neighborhood. An old quarry stands prominently alongside Hands Lane, while a Bowling Green graces the corner of Hands Lane and Townend Street. Notably, it also highlights significant locations such as Ramsey Road and Leamington Street, along with the site where Westways Primary School would later be established. Moving to the top right section of the map reveals an intricate network of streets and residences that were integral to daily life at that time. Hands Lane intersects with Commonside, leading us through Barber Road, Vincent Road, Beehive Road, Warrington Road, and finally Spring Hill Road. Along these paths lie historic structures like Hallamshire House Public House and charming dwellings such as Moorend Terrace and Eveline Villas. The bottom left quadrant unveils Western Road merging with Conduit Road before reaching School Road itself. Here we encounter notable addresses including Spring View Villa and Cobden View road—a testament to Sheffield's rich architectural heritage. Finally exploring the bottom right portion brings us face-to-face with iconic locales like Rockville on Springhill road or Thorn Bank nestled amidst Arnold Villas—each name evoking nostalgia for bygone eras. Measuring an impressive 77 x 102 cm in its original form—with a scale ratio capturing every detail at 10.56 feet:1 mile (1:500)—this remarkable piece from Sheffield Libraries' archives allows us to delve deep into Sheffield's past without ever leaving our present-day vantage point.
