Former water-powered grinding workshop, now a museum about the Sheffield steel industry.
Interesting history and make sure to ask as many questions, the gentlemen who assisted us were very knowledgeable about the history of Mr Shepherd's Wheel
A fascinating insight into the early Steel industry. Being fully operational and maintained when it runs you can see the belts and gears all working like they used to. Bear in mind there were once dozens of this type of wheel in operation along the river valleys of Sheffield!
Friendly, knowledgeable volunteer (?) was very patient and more than happy to answer my dumb questions. Good wheel. Nice way to break up a pleasant walk.
Nice little place to visit with a very pleasant informative lady on hand to answer questions. Bit of a mystery to find to start with the car but if you park on Westwood way then you can walk through the gate and by the side of the river straight to it.
Brill experience - really informative volunteer & in the recorded tapes too. So glad this national treasure was save, restored & maintained for future generations to honor and learn from our past :))
A fabulous visit that brings to life Sheffield's industrial past. This was a dangerous and dirty job, with the grinders having a life expectancy of only 26 years. That the water wheel still works and all the machinery continues to turn beings the place to life. Well worth a visit. If this.review is useful please hit like
