About this deal

The impact of the presence of the military on the estate was significant, and although Soames attempted restoration work in the post-war period, he ultimately sold the estate to a property company in 1953. [1]

Located on Platform 2, the Bullied Society Shop sells used railway and transport books, magazines, railway memorabilia, railway photographs, DVDs and videos, timetables and models. Often regarded as Brown's successor, there is a surviving sketch by Humphry Repton of the park, however Repton's letters record that he did not formally deliver suggestions in one his 'Red Books. [1] Nevertheless, according to Edward Hyams, Repton undertook work in the park in 1789. [4] Sheffield Park and Garden is an informal landscape garden five miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex, England. It was originally laid out in the 18th century by Capability Brown, and further developed as a woodland garden in the early 20th century by its then owner, Arthur Gilstrap Soames. It is now owned by the National Trust.

The restoration programme in 2005 was in keeping with the spirit of the original Victorian design, whilst rejuvenating the plant collections and adapting the Gardens for modern-day needs.

As well as providing a 'green lung' in this built up area and catering for general amenity, the gardens have outstanding plant collections, making them a centre for horticultural excellence and providing educational opportunities. The project was a partnership between us and Sheffield Botanical Gardens Trust, Friends of the Botanical Gardens, Sheffield Town Trust and The University of Sheffield. Park playgrounds Disabled toilet and baby changing facilities are available on platform 1, in the Bessemer Arms or on platform 2 next to the museum. For visits between 12 Sep and 20 Nov 2022 all visitors, including members, should book a time slot for their visit to Sheffield Park and Garden. We like to pair a trip to Sheffield Park with a trip to Latchett’s Farm which is a short 5-minute drive down the road, for an ice cream from their ice cream parlour. The estate was used for exterior shooting in the 1961 film, The Innocents, where it served as the Gothic Bly Manor, the setting of the Henry James novella, The Turn of the Screw.
