Green Open Spaces of Hillsborough
Bottom of Stannington Road, at the confluence of the Rivelin and Loxley rivers, opposite Lidl, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S6 5FL
The area has a number of community gardens where local residents are transforming empty land into green spaces for all. We will be taking a tour visiting all the sites involved in the Green Open Spaces Hillsborough (GOSH) project, whilst taking in numerous points of historical interest along the way. From the 1864 Great Flood, to the grand houses and social history we can still see today, we will be telling the stories of the streets on our route.
