ENVIRONMENT WEEK, 2007

Kelham’s Riverside – walk through the past and the future.

Wed. 16th May

Start: 13.30 - End: 15.30 (approx)

Organised by Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust (in conjunction with The Upper Don Walk Trust.)

Explore the historic Kelham area - Sheffield’s industrial revolution got under way here. Lots of pictures, old and new - and the proposed Brooklyn Bridge. (Walk further upriver on 24 May).

Meeting point: Kelham Island Museum car park (off Alma Street)

It is NOT esp. suitable for children, but OK provided they are well supervised. Provided road works have largely finished, wheelchairs are NOT likely to encounter difficulties (unlike the next walk).
