If you want to know a little more about the history of Sheffield and it’s heritage then visit the Industrial Hamlet (5 minute drive)

Fascinating industrial heritage museum with working water-powered industrial works. See workers' houses, waterwheels, workshops, tilt hammers, a grinding hull and the last complete crucible steel furnace surviving in the UK!

In the days before steel mills, metalworking was a cottage industry (just like wool and cotton). For a glimpse of that earlier, more innocent era, explore the restored 18th-century forges.
