Discovering the Rich History - Site of Sheffield Castle as Shown on Ordnance Survey Map, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us back in time to the bustling city center of Sheffield in 1890. The detailed Ordnance Survey map, with a scale of 1:500 and labeled as Sheet CCXCIV. 8.12, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The image showcases various landmarks and streets that once defined this vibrant cityscape. From Chandlers Row to Waingate, Hill Fold Lane to Exchange Street, every corner seems alive with activity. Notably, it highlights the majestic presence of Sheffield Castle overlooking the River Don and Sheaf rivers. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, we notice an array of public establishments that were integral parts of daily life during that era. Hotels like Alexandra Hotel welcomed visitors while theaters such as Royal Alexandra Theatre provided entertainment for locals. The photograph also reveals several iconic pubs including Bull's Mouth Inn, Anvil Inn, Rose & Crown Pub, and Rotherham House Whitesmiths – all serving as social hubs where people gathered to unwind after a long day's work. With its meticulous details and intricate labeling system by the Ordnance Survey team at that time (not associated with any commercial use), this print allows us to appreciate how much Sheffield has evolved over generations while preserving its rich heritage. It serves as a reminder of our connection to history and invites us to explore further
