Norfolk ParkNorfolk Park lies some one mile to the South East of the city centre of Sheffield itself. It is primarily a leafy green area that attracts high prices due to the presence of the actual park making up the vast majority of the district. There is a tremendous number of listed buildings in Norfolk Park, some of which have been converted sympathetically into houses or flats, whilst many remain as sites of special interest for the public to enjoy. Norfolk Park is also home to a large, lush swathe of ancient woodland, a site of trees that date back to before forest clearings in mediaeval times. The parks area itself was one of the first public parks in the United Kingdom, and a recent regeneration project has restored much of the original Victorian charm that the site used to have in abundance. The residential suburb of Norfolk Park sprung up around the green space after it was first conceived, originally it was a deer park that was donated to the city by the Duke of Norfolk and it was often visited by Queen Victoria. It was first opened to the public in 1848 and proved so popular that it immediately began a process of gradually upgrading various areas starting with the entrance gates and working through Norfolk Park itself. Many of the surrounding houses capitalised on the success of the park and to this day continue to attract high prices due to their proximity to such a lush, green space. Now that the decline that Norfolk Park saw in the 1980's has been dealt with through a process of modernisation and restoration Sheffield city council have kept the parks in excellent condition and many people from around the city and even further afield enjoy the space each year. A new cafe and crèche have recently been opened and the centre to the park was recently modernised at the beginning of the new millennium using funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. |
