Handsworth Road, Sheffield

Suburb on the east side of the city, one where a clean car seems an absolute necessity judging by the number of car wash set-ups there are. In his recent book "So you think you know about Britain?" Danny Dorling, Professor of Human Geography at the University of Sheffield likened the workers of car washes to servants. In the old days lots of not even wealthy families had servants, to do the menial jobs for peanuts; now poor people work for probably less than a living wage to clean and polish the cars of the not necessarily wealthy. see SK4086 : Express Hand Car Wash and SK4086 : HANDsworth Car Wash for 2 more, within 1/2 mile.

Opened by the Lord Mayor of Sheffield in 1986 (according to a nearby plaque). A name characteristic of Labour councils in the 1980s as support for the anti-apartheid movement was growing in political circles around the world.

Only a few steps away from a 1980s municipal housing estate one is presented with this seemingly rural scene from Pipworth Road Local Open Space.

High Hazels House, Sheffield

High Hazels House in High Hazels Park on the eastern side of Sheffield. High Hazels House was commissioned by William Jeffcock, and was built regardless of cost. The building included a number of outbuildings and stabling for twelve horses. The arches that lead to the main entrance were built of the same stone as the Houses of Parliament. Following the death of Jeffcock Jr. in 1863, the house was rented out and at one point used as a boys boarding school to avoid the house falling into ruin. Following the purchase of the estate by the city council in 1894 the gardens were landscaped, possibly by Robert Marnock, to become a public park. In 1901, High Hazels House became a museum which housed a collection with many rare pieces relating to Sheffield history and which, in its heyday attracted over 60,000 visitors a year. During World War II, the house was used as a base for the Home Guard with many local residents being recruited. The museum closed shortly after the war, and became the clubhouse for Tinsley Park golf course. Source Wikipedia.
