1700 map?
David Clarke found a sketch plan of Sheffield Castle, supposedly dated around 1700, in a little book by Thomas Winder, “T’Heft an’ Blades o’Sheffield: Dialect stories and Antiquarian papers”, published in
Sheffield 1907. We wonder what data the plan was based on?
Lovely. Is there copies of this boook
sorry, you’ll need to find one. try https://www.abebooks.co.uk
I have a feeling that Winder based his sketch/plan on records in the Duke of Norfolk’s Estates Office.Go forward to the Fairbanks Map of 1771 and you see the same indications of slopes around the site.
