Weston Park, Sheffield 10

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The 1905 Firth Court building - Sheffield University's main administrative block - forms a back-drop to this corner of Weston Park. The screen seen in the foreground is the "Boer War Memorial to the Fallen of The York and Lancaster Regiment". Ahead the path slopes gently downhill towards a secondary gated entrance leading out onto Glossop Road (the A57). The ornate c19th century gates, erected in 1875, were stolen during the night of 7th September 1994. The police concluded that thieves had used a crane to steal them with the intention of selling them abroad. However, in 2011 blacksmith Andrew Renwick, who had put in a bid to design a set of replica gates years before, spotted the originals outside a new house near Eckington. The 'owner' had bought the gates from a local farmer who had stored the gates in his barn for over a decade. The farmer had bought them as part of a job lot of scrap material from a demolition site. Following their authentication the newest owner was happy to return them to Weston Park, where they were reinstalled in this south-east corner.
