EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Sheffield in 1839. The image showcases the intricate layout of Sheffield markets and streets, providing a glimpse into the city's rich history. The Duke of Norfolk and Sheffield Corporation collaborated on this remarkable plan, which highlights key landmarks such as the Tontine Inn, Corn Exchange, and Fitzalan Square. These iconic structures played significant roles in shaping the social and economic fabric of Yorkshire's beloved city. Traced meticulously in 1898 from an original document housed at Sheffield Libraries (arc03513), this print offers a unique perspective on urban planning during that era. It allows us to appreciate how meticulous attention was given to every detail when designing these vibrant marketplaces. As we delve into this snapshot from yesteryears, it is important to note that commercial use should not be associated with this particular photograph. Instead, let us focus on immersing ourselves in the historical significance it holds for residents and visitors alike. Sheffield's markets have long been a hub of activity; they served as meeting points for locals exchanging goods and stories while contributing to the growth of trade within Yorkshire. This print serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and invites us all to cherish our shared past.
