This print showcases an Ordnance Survey Map of the Carwood Road and Petre Street area in Sheffield, dating back to 1889. The map, with Yorkshire sheet number 294.4.14, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's past. In the top left corner of the map, we can see Meadow Head, possibly a house or landmark at that time. Adjacent to it is Carwood Lane and a noteworthy addition made in pencil: Carwood Terrace. Moving to the top right section, our eyes are drawn to a Recreation Ground where locals likely gathered for leisurely activities. The bottom left portion reveals several streets and residential areas such as Hallcar Terrace, Housleys Row, Petre Street, Jamaica Street, and Canada Street. Notably mentioned is a Mission Hall (Gospel Union) which served as an important religious center during that era; interestingly enough Whites directory of 1896 lists Salvation Army Rooms on Canada Street. Finally, in the bottom right corner lies an old quarry situated near Carlisle Street East – evidence of Sheffield's industrial heritage. Measuring 77 x 102 cm in its original form and featuring a scale ratio of 10.56 feet : 1 mile (1:500), this historical document provides invaluable insights into Sheffield's urban landscape over a century ago.
