EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "Plan of an enlargement of the General Cemetery and of a new road leading thereto" in Ecclesall Bierlow, Sheffield, dating back to 1846. The scale of this plan is meticulously detailed at 1 inch to 90 yards, providing a comprehensive view of the area's transformation. Surveyors Flockton, Lee and Flockton ingeniously engineered this expansion project. The image reveals various elements that make up this historic landscape. Bridges and viaducts gracefully span over rivers and brooks, connecting different parts of the township. Streets wind their way through the terrain while schools like Psalter Lane Primary School stand as pillars of education within the community. Notable landmarks such as Wilson's Snuff Mills and Westbrook House add character to this evolving neighborhood. Housing developments like Collegiate Crescent and Broomgrove Houses offer residents comfortable abodes amidst picturesque surroundings. The presence of botanical gardens, parks, and cemeteries further enriches Ecclesall's natural beauty. Cecil's Mackenzies Walk provides a serene pathway for leisurely strolls while Corn Mill Water Power with its waterwheels symbolizes industrial progress. South Moor Hermitage stands tall as a testament to architectural prowess alongside brick kilns that fuel local construction projects.
