"Broomhall: A Tapestry of History and Resilience" Nestled in the heart of Sheffield, a neighborhood that weaves together a rich tapestry of history and resilience. From its picturesque landscapes to its notable landmarks, this vibrant community has witnessed countless stories unfold throughout the years. One cannot mention Broomhall without acknowledging the breathtaking Paxton Pavilions in Sheffield Botanical Gardens. Since their opening in 1836, these architectural marvels have stood as a testament to man's ingenuity and love for nature. Another iconic landmark is the Victoria Park Hotel, which graced the junction of Clarkehouse Road and Southbourne Road since 1862. Once home to Samuel Osborn, it was later renamed Rutledge House—a private residence that exuded elegance and charm. However, not all tales from it can filled with opulence. During World War I, Broomhall became home to Ward 29 of the 3rd Northern General Base Hospital. The Little Chapel within its premises provided solace amidst chaos—a symbol of hope during trying times. Delving deeper into history reveals intriguing documents such as an Ordnance Survey map copied by Germans during wartime—an eerie reminder of past conflicts etched onto paper. Additionally, a plan dating back to 1865 showcases Broombank House's freehold property being auctioned off—testimony to changing times. The Ecclesall Inclosure Map No. I takes us even further back—to an era when Crookesmoor and Little Sheffield Moor were enclosed lands waiting for exploration and development in 1788. This map serves as a window into our ancestors' aspirations for progress. Broomgrove Estate also played a significant role in shaping this neighborhood's identity during the early nineteenth century—its lots eagerly sought after by those seeking new beginnings on fertile ground.
