EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical map dating back to 1790, titled "A map of the lands at and near Crookes part in Ecclesall and part in Nether Hallam". The intricate details on this map were meticulously surveyed by William Fairbank II, with a scale of 26 inches to 1 mile. The map vividly depicts the old open fields that once graced this area, now mostly enclosed but still revealing traces of their former glory. Bounded by Walkley Bank, Crookesmoor, Lydgate, and Steel Bank, it offers an intriguing glimpse into the past. Different colors distinguish the lands owned by notable figures such as the Duke of Norfolk, John Parker, John Spooner, and other landowners whose names are carefully marked on the map. Additionally, this remarkable piece provides numerical references to a survey conducted in 1790. Each field is numbered and labeled accordingly for easy identification. For those interested in delving deeper into this historical record's rich content or conducting further research about these lands' history and ownership patterns can refer to the Fairbank Collection (ME 472) at Sheffield Archives. Preserved within Sheffield City Archives ACM/MAPS/SheD/832 collection today is an original copy of this invaluable artifact that sheds light on how these landscapes have evolved over time. It serves as a testament to our shared heritage while offering glimpses into a world long gone - one where vast open fields stretched across what we now know as Crookes
