The Origins of Whinfell Court
During the second half of the 19th century many steel magnates built houses in the Whirlow area away from the pollution in the city. One such magnate was Samuel Doncaster who bought land at Whinfell, a site which offered beautiful views over Ecclesall woods to Dore and to the hills at Holmesfield. The construction of the house began in 1898 and the family moved in two years later. It was a grand and imposing property, approached by a long carriage drive and surrounded by lawns and flower beds. He also bought the adjoining quarry which he developed as a secluded and exotic garden, planting it with many specimens from around the world including Giant Redwood trees, acers and bamboo.

Frederick lived at Whinfell for 30 years and became Master Cutler himself in 1937. In 1968 the family company, James Neill Holdings, gave the Quarry Garden to the City Council to be used as a public garden in memory of Sir Frederick. The garden, which is maintained by Sheffield City Council and ‘friends of Whinfell Quarry Garden’ has heritage status.
Lady Winifred Neill, widow of Sir Frederick, stayed at Whinfell House until 1969. James Neill Holdings now owned the house and decided to convert it into an office base and hospitality suite but during the conversion work, in 1971, the house was badly damaged by fire. The company made the decision to sell the estate. It was bought by a local builder, John Harding, who had plans to build a ‘Garden Village’ comprising of apartments, with spacious rooms and south-facing balconies, houses, bungalows and an activity centre with a swimming pool, squash courts and saunas. John Harding had visited housing schemes in the United States of America where residents lived in communities with shared facilities and now had the opportunity to develop a housing estate on similar lines. Residents of Whinfell Court enjoy the benefits of his vision today, living in pleasant surroundings with the use of a swimming pool and the opportunity to join in frequent communal activities.
