EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Ordnance Survey Map of The Wicker/Spital Hill in Sheffield, dating back to 1889. This detailed map, known as the Yorkshire sheet 294.8.7, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's past. The top left section of the map reveals various landmarks and establishments that once dotted this vibrant area. From the bustling Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Goods Shed to Holy Trinity School and Church, every corner tells a story. The Crown Corn Mills and Wentworth Plate Works also make their presence felt amidst the lively streets. Moving to the top right portion of the map, we discover more industrial marvels such as Wicker Iron and Engineering Works and Walker Eaton & Co. 's engineering firm. Joshua Wigfull & Sons' corn millers stand tall alongside Star Corn Mills on Walker Street while Lime kilns add a touch of historical charm. As we explore further towards the bottom left side, Nursery Street Saw Mills catch our eye along with Bethesda Primitive Methodist Church on Stanley Street. Bolton Works proudly display their saws and machine knives nearby while Crown and Anchor Public House offer respite for weary travelers. Lastly, in the bottom right quadrant lies Crucible Works by Louis Henry Morgan on Wicker Lane alongside Dannemora Steel Works on Sheldon Row. Smithfield Market stands proud with its cattle pens while Clyde Steel and Iron Works complete this industrious landscape. Surveyed in 1889 but reprinted in 1903, this remarkable piece measures 77 x 102 cm with a scale ratio of 10.56 feet:1 mile (1:500). It is sourced from an original at Sheffield Libraries (q00078) held within Sheffield City Archives - providing us with an invaluable window into Sheffield's rich history.
