EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of the Ordnance Survey Map, Blonk Street area, taken in 1890. This meticulously detailed map offers a glimpse into the bustling streets and landmarks that once defined Yorkshire No. 294.8.12. In the top left corner, we see the meandering River Don alongside Blonk Goit and Wicker, surrounded by industrial sites such as Wire Works and Patent Piston Works on Millsands. The map also highlights notable establishments like Lion Hotel, Crown Inn, and Lady's Bridge Brewery. Moving to the top right section, our eyes are drawn to Smithfield Market with its pig pens and cattle pens adjacent to Clyde Steel and Iron Works. Victoria Station Road leads us towards Park Station while Alexandra Opera House stands proudly nearby. The bottom left quadrant showcases Castle Hill overlooking Water Lane and Waingate where Slaughter Houses were once located. Sheffield Castle's historical site is marked along with prominent buildings like Town Hall and Royal Hotel. Lastly, in the bottom right corner lies Canal Basin flanked by Slaughter houses along River Sheaf. Durham Ox Public House catches our attention amidst Corn Exchange and Broad Street's vibrant atmosphere. This extraordinary snapshot of history was surveyed in 1889 using heliozincography techniques before being transformed into a magnificent print measuring an impressive 77 x 102 cm at a scale of 10.56 feet:1 mile (1:500). Thanks to Sheffield Libraries' collection of original maps like this one (q00081), we can explore Sheffield's past through its streetscapes without commercial use restrictions.
