Pub Heritage Walk: Kelham Island, Sheffield
Fat Cat, 23 Alma Street, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S3 8SA
This event is a short walking tour in the Kelham Island area of Sheffield. It encompasses both aspects of the industrial heritage of the area and of the ‘Beer Capital’ status owned by the City of Sheffield. Sheffield has more breweries per head than any other city in the UK.
We will commence at the ‘Fat Cat’ and proceed to Neepsend. Along the way, we will take a circuitous route through aspects of the brewing and industrial history of Sheffield before completing the walk, close to the now derelict, Stones Brewery.
Copies of both the 5th edition of the 'Sheffield's Real Heritage Pubs' book and a 'Pub Heritage Walk' booklet may be on sale (cash only).
