'Drainspotting' - Sheffield's Victorian pavement features
Next Chapter Books, 7 Rustlings Road, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S11 7AA
The 2022 Heritage Open Days Recurring Festival Favourite award winner returns! A walk around Endcliffe and Ranmoor looking at the remnants of Victorian infrastructure found on the street. Drain covers, tramway remains, early utility companies and power suppliers all left a mark that can still be found today. The walk will start and finish outside Next Chapter Books on Rustlings Road. The walk is mostly flat but weather suitable footwear is recommended.
