Apart from a few dozen houses across the River Dun at Bridgehouses and in the Wicker, and a similar number at Parkhill, the whole of the built-up area was within a 600 yard radius centred on the Old Church.1 Within that brief radius the most northerly development was that at Bower Lane (Gibraltar), and only a limited incursion had been made hitherto into Colson Crofts (the fields between West Bar and the river). On the western and north-western edges there had been development along Hollis Croft and White Croft, and to a lesser degree along Pea Croft and Lambert Knoll (Scotland). To the south-west the building on the western side of Coalpit Lane was over the boundary in Ecclesall, but still a recognisable part of the town.2 To the south the gardens and any buildings were largely confined by the Park wall which kept Alsop Fields free of dwellings except for the ingress along the northern part of Pond Lane. The Rivers Dun and Sheaf formed a natural barrier on the east and north-east, and the low-lying Ponds area to the south-east was not ideal for house construction.

  • Outline Maps of Sheffield City Centre
    PERCEPTIONS OF IMPRECISE REGIONS IN RELATION TO GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION RETRIEVAL A study submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Information Management at THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD by LINDA MANSBRIDGE Abstract The Internet is an increasingly important source of information. Many Web searches are for geographical information or for other information within a geographical context. However, there is a disparity between the way in which geographical information is stored in information systems and the way in which most people think about geographical space. While in some cases this arises from problems with place names, much ‘everyday’ geography concerns imprecise or vague regions which have no single or officially-recognized boundary. The boundary of an imprecise region is, by definition, vague. The organization of geographical space into areas bounded, usually by lines, is a necessary component of having a sense of ‘place’. Research in the early days of GIS necessarily focused on the technology required for establishing effective systems for presenting geographical information. However, in more recent years, research has involved workers from a wide variety of disciplines looking at the ways in which humans perceive their geographical world. The field of psychology has been instrumental in investigations into how humans form cognitive maps, a mental representation of the world around them. Cognitive maps do not necessarily match the empirical reality of geography very closely; distortions in the perception of location and distance may arise from individual perceptions of a place. The aim of this study was to investigate how people perceive Sheffield City Centre, which is a ‘real’ place, known by that name, but having no single official boundary.

I’m dropping my t’s in an effort to fit in. I don’t think it’s working. Or that it suits me. I’m not sure anyone but me cares. Each new conversation I have, report that I read Forms another little thread Woven between me, them, their city Making me more accountable. I see the city through my own eyes But through theirs too. I am dazzled and overwhelmed But each day I am more in love. 6 Sheffield has produced an array of music stars, often known for their understated but witty character. The artists focussed on here are Pulp. Arctic Monkeys, The Everly Pregnant Brothers, Richard Hawley and then a select assortment from other writers and artists, including poets. To finish, two famous recent films, set in Sheffield, are introduced. What emerges from all is the sense of raw human existence and the peculiarities (and struggles) of everyday life.
