Municipal block of flats. Early Sheffield example built at a time when the City was concentrating on building large medium density out of town estates. Shops at ground level with large sash type windows above. Pitched roof behind parapet. To the rear a deck access system. No legibility of earlier landscapes in current scheme. Previously to the development of Moorfields flats map evidence suggests development from possible former townfields between the time of the 1808 Fairbank and the 1823 Leather surveys of Sheffield. The 1851 60 inch to the mile OS shows dense occupation of the site by large 'through houses' on the Moorfield's frontage and smaller buildings and blind back housing ranges around small courtyards to the rear. The small independent steelworks of Bernard Houseley, operating between 1823 and 1836 and consisting of a four hole crucible furnace and associated buildings has been identified as within this site (Belford [quoting evidence from a Fairbank survey] 2003 p60). Archaeological potential considered high as the site of Housleys works is within courtyard of later flats and may not have been impacted upon by the foundations of the 20h century building works (Atchison 2002, 130).
