Captivating sunsets at Polhawn Whitsand Bay and Portwrinkle Beach, Cornwall UK, transport you to a world of serenity. But let's take a journey back in time to Sheffield's rich history. In 1853, George Wostenholm proposed an innovative mode of laying out the Sharrow and Kenwood Park Estates for building purposes. The city's development continued with the establishment of Sheffield General Cemetery in 1840, providing a peaceful resting place for its residents. Switching gears to entertainment, the Lyceum Theatre in London presented 'Seven Days Leave, ' captivating audiences with its gripping storyline. Meanwhile, Dormer / The Sheffield Twist Drill and Steel Co. Ltd. , located on Summerfield Street since 1957 (and previously advertised in 1951), showcased their cutting-edge products through compelling advertisements. Delving deeper into Sheffield's past, we discover a plan from 1764 detailing the Snuff Mill and Cutlers Wheel at Sharrow Moor—a testament to the area's industrial heritage. Fast forward to 1851 when freehold and leasehold properties at Sharrow Head and Heeley were up for auction—an opportunity for prospective buyers. Lastly, we explore Ecclesall Bierlow within Sheffield where plans were made in 1846 for an enlargement of the [General] Cemetery along with a new road leading thereto—highlighting the city's commitment to honoring its departed loved ones. As we navigate through these historical moments captured on maps and plans like those found in Sheffield S7-1 Map, it becomes evident that Sharrow holds stories waiting to be unveiled.
