EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "Plan of the Storth Crescent Estate" as meticulously laid out in building allotments back in 1862. Crafted by S. F. Holmes, a skilled surveyor from Sheffield, this original piece is now housed at the esteemed Sheffield Local Studies Library within their Sale Plans collection. The image transports us to an era when urban planning was taking shape, offering a glimpse into the development of this historic estate. The map reveals a network of streets and lanes that intertwine harmoniously with waterways, creating a picturesque landscape. One can trace their way through Ranmoor's charming roads such as Chantrey Road and Gladstone Street, while also exploring Nether Green and Upper Graham Jenkin Street. The attention to detail exhibited by Holmes is remarkable; every nook and cranny has been carefully plotted on this plan. From Storth Crescent itself to Hangingwater Lane, each element contributes to the overall charm and functionality of the estate. As we admire this photograph print from Sheffield City Archives, it serves as a reminder of how our cities have evolved over time. It allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and architectural ingenuity that went into shaping neighborhoods like Storth Crescent Estate more than a century ago
