History on a plate
The plate was made at a pottery in Manor Lodge, Sheffield between 1708/1738 and is on show at the University of Sheffield’s Western Bank Library to mark the 100 years since the Hunter Archaeological Society held its first meeting in Sheffield in 1912. Since then its members have been at the forefront of digs on the site of Sheffield Castle and at Manor Lodge.
It is now campaigning to save the remains of Sheffield Castle, which lie beneath the city’s markets complex, and other archaeological sites across the city. The exhibition runs until December 21.
