EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1853, capturing a moment in history when eight freehold messuages or dwelling houses were up for auction in Attercliffe. The photograph showcases the house of Mr Henry Wales, known as the Travellers Inn, where this significant event took place. The image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the bustling atmosphere surrounding this public sale. Broad sheets and posters can be seen adorning walls nearby, announcing the details of this exciting opportunity. Potential buyers would have flocked to view these properties which included not only eight dwellings but also six additional houses situated at the back with various conveniences such as a pump. The names of previous occupants are listed on the poster - George Taylor, John Kenney, William Rodger, William Kitchen, Emma Foster, John Hobson Mary Lawton and Samuel Bowring - giving us an insight into who once called these houses their homes. It is fascinating to note that these properties were generating an annual rent of £32 or more at that time. This information adds value and intrigue to this historical document held within Sheffield Local Studies Library's Sale Plans collection. As we admire this print from Sheffield City Archives today, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in Attercliffe's history unfold before our eyes.
