Meersbrook House
Meersbrook House was built 1780 by Benjamin Roebuck, a wealthy private Sheffield banker. The present day Meersbrook Park originally formed the grounds of the house. The house became the home of the Shores, owners of a bank on Church Street. When this bank crashed the house was auctioned in 1850. In 1890 the house was opened as the Ruskin Museum, which was formerly at St George’s Museum, Ruskin House, on Bell Hagg Road, Walkley. The Ruskin Collection, known officially as the Collection of the Guild of St George remained at Meersbrook House until until the 1950's. Parts of the Guild’s collection is now displayed in the Ruskin Gallery in Sheffield’s Millennium Galleries.Meersbrook House is now used by Sheffield Council Parks and Countryside Ranger Service. The Francis Firth Collection have a picture of the building (ref. 31971) showing the building as it was in 1893. http://www.francisfrith.com/sheffield/photos/ruskin-museum-1893_31971/ Sheffield Local Studies Library also have several pictures of this building, such as image number S05828. http://www.picturesheffield.com/index.html
