The Fairbank Collection.
Catalogues and Killings.
Sheffield Archives and Local Studies Library are busy digitising card indexes and typescript catalogues to help researchers search for documents online. One of the big projects is to improve access to the Fairbank Collection - a unique set of plans and field books created by the Fairbank family, who practised as surveyors in Sheffield from about 1736 to 1848. While typing up index cards, an intriguing reference came to light mentioning a workshop in West Field Lane, which ran between Trippet Lane and West Street, ‘where Bartlam was killed’ around 1822.
The survey itself did not reveal how Bartlam died. However, a court report was uncovered in the Yorkshire Gazette; on 22nd March 1823, Frederick Curtis stood trial for the manslaughter of fellow cutler John Bartlam. The report stated that ‘some interesting circumstances came out of the trial, and the jury acquitted the prisoner’.
A detailed report dated 29th March 1822 in the Sheffield Independent, revealed that there had been a dispute over the ownership of some tools which led to a fight between Curtis and Bartlam. The only witness to the fight, a Mr Siddall, claimed that Curtis had attempted to throw Bartlam out of a window, but Siddall’s honesty was questioned by the defence, who revealed he was a convicted felon himself, having served time for the theft of a leg of mutton twenty years previously. Surgeons who examined Bartlam’s body after his death were unable to decide whether the internal injuries from which he died were caused by ‘cold, previous complaint of the bowels, or violence’. Several witnesses who knew both the deceased and accused attested that Bartlam was ‘a very irritable and provoking fellow' while the prisoner was 'a quiet, inoffensive, humane man’. The judge, clearly frustrated by the inconclusive evidence, stated that there was ‘a deal of perjury in this case, either on one side or the other, so the Jury would decide which was worthy of credit’. The jury promptly acquitted Frederick Curtis, who appears on the 1841 census as living with his wife and children on Furnival Street, still working in the cutlery trade

Apparently, the library's design is "loosely derived from The Pantheon", in Rome.

This shows the entrance to the carpark, and includes the street number of the library. This photograph only shows part of the carpark. Quite a few people were walking to the library (and could be identified by the stack of library materials they were carrying).

"Collection Interface Zone" display units and wide aisles draw patrons into the bookstacks and encourage them to engage the collections.
The former Carnegie Public Library at William Avenue and Dagmar Street on the northerly fringe of Winnipeg's central business district. Until the 1970s this was the main branch of the Winnipeg library system. Since that time it has been home to the City of Winnipeg Archives. The building contains references to the charitable educational purposes of the Carnegie benefaction including the motto "Free To All" as seen here. The shields on either side of that motto read "History and Literature" and "Arts and Science".
I always like libraries. This was one of my more successful efforts with a Boots throwaway camera in my pre-digital days.
