Guest Gramps Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Richard - is that the map that was a little bit 'broken' ? .....not surprised it's sent you doolally. I think Doolally was a place in India that British soldiers were sent to if they went 'off the rails' BTW - this is the map that was sold to me as '1920s' - not the map in the blue cover. Which perhaps accounts for the confusion :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jeremy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 1832 Map of Sheffield There's a couple of pages of text to go with that map that explain what it's all about (proposed boundaries of the Borough constituency of Sheffield). I picked the two up at a great map shop in Harrogate.

Guest Jeremy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 This is a photo of a picture that my mum has. (sorry for the poor quality, it's taken through glass) It's dated 1745 What a difference 129 years makes. Very similar view dated 1874: http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?img...432d01c9d0487ee Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Don't know if this belongs here but. I've got a large (27" x 24) pencil drawn map dated 30.11.36 entitled CITY OF SHEFFIELD PROPOSED LAYOUT FOR CIVIC Ctr. It shows amongst others, a proposed Police HQ and Assize Court on Flat Street. Here's a scan of one corner. If anyone wants it they can have it. (free to a good home, that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Crookes 1637 (reconstructed by G. Scurfield) Link to Eric Youle's site, featuring Sheffield in 1637: the town and the Crookes Walkley area. http://history.youle.info/images/Sheffield-Crooks-1637.jpg (Kind of hard on the eyes, which is a shame because there has obviously been an enormous amount of work gone into this and I just can't read it) Just noticed on this map that there's a Hupper Thorpe which I assume is now Upperthorpe. Can't find any refference to it anywhere else via google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gramps Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Just noticed on this map that there's a Hupper Thorpe which I assume is now Upperthorpe. Can't find any refference to it anywhere else via google. Not sure where Scurfield found this name as it does not appear in Harrison's Survey, - at least not in the index. I think David Hey, in one of his many books on the Sheffield area, suggests the name Upperthorpe derives from Hooperthorpe, (a 'hooper' being a cooper or barrel-maker) and that Netherthorpe was coined as a name much later.

Bayleaf Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 It's in Harrison's Survey Gramps, but a victim of ˜creative indexing"! There are 4 entries in the index under Upperthorpe (although there are in fact 5 entries in the list, 2 being on the same page) , and 4 under ˜Upperthorpe Lane". If you follow up the actual entries, of the 5 under Upperthorpe, 3 of the entries are Upperthorpe and 1 is ˜Hupper Thorpe" and 1 is ˜Huppathorpe". The 4 under Upperthorpe Lane are 1 "Hupperhorpe", and 3 ˜ Huppathorpe". The entries for Upperthorpe are: Freehold and Copyhold Rents within the Soke of Sheffeild Walkley Hugh Fox for land at Upperthorpe.....2 shillings and 2pence Freeholders John Rawson of Upperthorpe ...8 shillings and 10 pence John Rawson of Upperthorpe....1 shilling and 6 pence The Rents of tenements and lands lying in the Soake and Parish of Sheffield Landes in the use of the Lord John Rawson for Hupper Thorpe.....£13 .6s..8d Tenants at Will Plot no 556...Imprimis ye Scite of a Tenement called Huppathorpe with a dwelling house a Barne a Hayhouse a Stable & a Tann Office with a croft thereto adjoyneing lying next unto Lidgitt Lane North & abutteth upon Church feild East and a Lane leading to Crookesmoore West & cont. 1 acre-2 rood-31 perch The entries for Upperthorpe Lane are: Plot no 518...Item a Meadow called Sheramore Intacke lying next to Hupperthorpe Lane towards ye North west & Whitehouse Lane North East & a little lane South & cont 4 acres-3 rood-16 perch. Plot no 591...Item two Closes called Sheramoore Closes whereof the first is meadow, and lyeth next unto white house lane towards the North East, & abutteth upon Huppathorpe Lane South east & the lands of Thomas Scargill North east & Containeth 2 acres 1 rood 6½ perch. Plot no 592...Item the second close is arrable land & lyeth between Huppathorpe Lane towards the South east & the lands of Thomas Scargill north east & abutteth upon the last piece & Cont 4 acres-0 rood-31 perch.

Here's the relevant bit of the map. Upperthorpe Lane isn't readily visible, but from the description is the line of Water Lane heading NE below Sheramoore closes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukelele lady Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Not sure where Scurfield found this name as it does not appear in Harrison's Survey, - at least not in the index.

There was a cooperage on Upperthorpe until the mid 70s, it was across the road from where I lived. On the map is the Sheramore the now Shalesmoor and Water Lane the Watery Lane that led off from Upperthorpe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
