TitleHigh Hazels Estate, Darnal[l], Handsworth (458)
AdminHistoryHigh Hazels House was commissioned by William Jeffcock in 1850. The last member of the Jeffcock family to live at High Hazels was
William's eldest son, also called William. William junior died in 1863 at
the early age of 32. For the next thirty years the house was rented out. During some of this time, the House was used as a boarding school (nicknamed 'The Towers') for 'young gentlemen'.

In 1894 the High Hazels estate, comprising 47 acres and several
buildings, was purchased by the City of Sheffield for £10,875 and held
in trust. Endowed Charities recorded the occasion, stating the
purchase of this piece of land in Darnall to be 'for the purpose of being
used as public walks and pleasure grounds'. The High Hazels Estate
officially became a public space.
