Meersbrook Park Walled Garden Sheffield
Heritage Open Day: Visit the historic Walled Garden in Meersbrook Park in Sheffield with its 200 year old wall and see the huge variety of plants and shrub. The garden is lovingly maintained all year round by a hardy group of volunteers from the local friends group. The Walled Garden was built around 1820. It was the fruit and vegetable garden for Meersbrook House (now known as Meersbrook Hall which you will see on your visit). The house was built in 1780 by Benjamin Roebuck, a private Sheffield Banker. It later became the residence of the Shore family, who also owned Norton Hall. The garden has traces of three generations of heating systems. As the technology developed different systems were developed to make the best use of solar heating, the use of solid fuel and finally oil.
