EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a competition entry for the Wesleyan Central Mission, later known as Victoria Hall, in Norfolk Street. The photograph dates back to around 1907 or 1908 and showcases the architectural prowess of Holmes and Watson, the talented architects behind this design. The scale of the drawing is an impressive 8 feet to 1 inch, highlighting the intricate details that were put into creating this vision. However, it is worth noting that despite its brilliance, this particular design was not ultimately adopted for construction. Located in Sheffield's city center, Norfolk Street becomes a canvas for creativity as these architects envision a magnificent Methodist chapel. The plans depict an awe-inspiring structure that would have undoubtedly become a prominent landmark within the community. Preserved at Sheffield Archives under reference AP/112/3, this original print serves as a testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of Sheffield. It offers us a glimpse into an era when grand churches and halls were meticulously designed with utmost care and attention. While we admire this remarkable piece of artistry from Holmes and Watson's repertoire, it is important to note that any commercial use of this image should be avoided. Let us appreciate it solely for its historical significance and celebrate their contribution to shaping our cityscape through their visionary designs.
