A walk round Attercliffe

  • 12 Sep 2025
  • In person
  • Pre-booking required

The Lower Don Valley was the powerhouse of Sheffield's heavy steel industry and Attercliffe was where its workers lived. Though many buildings have disappeared what remains is a fascinating insight into the life of a once-thriving community.

This 2½-hour history walk, starting and finishing at the Attercliffe Supertram stop, shows the streets and surviving buildings between Staniforth Road and Newhall Road, including the Catholic Church of St Charles Borromeo and the Zion Graveyard.
