Ecclesall, a historic township in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, holds a rich tapestry of stories and landmarks that have shaped its identity over the years. Dating back to the 18th century, plans were laid out for the development of Sharrow and Kenwood Park Estates by George Wostenholm in 1853. These blueprints reveal an early vision for building purposes that would transform the landscape. One notable landmark along Ecclesall Road is the Hunters Bar Toll House. Standing as a testament to times gone by, this toll house served as a gateway into Ecclesall and witnessed countless travelers passing through its doors. The Ecclesall Bierlow Workhouse stands as another significant piece of history within this community. Serving as a place of refuge for those in need during difficult times, it represents both hardship and resilience. Maps play an essential role in understanding Ecclesall's growth and evolution. The Sheffield S11 Map provides insight into the area's layout today, while maps from different eras like William Wilson's estate map from around 1850 showcase how land was divided and owned at that time. Plans such as those depicting Broomhall area (1810) or High Storrs Estate (1869) shed light on specific developments within Ecclesall throughout history. They offer glimpses into architectural designs and urban planning strategies employed during these periods. The Enclosure Map No. I from 1788 reveals Crookesmoor, Little Sheffield Moor, Little Sheffield - areas now integral parts of modern-day Ecclesall - being enclosed under one plan. This document captures an important moment when land use was redefined for agricultural purposes. Another crucial addition to Ecclesall came with the expansion of General Cemetery in 1846. A new road leading thereto transformed access to this burial ground within Ecclesall Bierlow Township significantly. Religious institutions also hold their place among these historical records.
