The image is a reproduction of an original map published by William White, meticulously reduced from the Ordnance Survey to capture every intricate detail. With a scale of 6 inches to 1 mile, this comprehensive plan offers an invaluable glimpse into the past. The print encompasses all subsequent improvements made during those eventful years - new streets emerging like arteries through the urban landscape. It serves as a testament to Sheffield's relentless growth and progress during this transformative period. Preserved at the esteemed Local Studies Library within Sheffield City Archives, this historic document holds immense value for researchers, historians, and anyone fascinated by the city's rich heritage.
