Our Guides
10 heritage highlights
Sheffield’s an endlessly surprising city – rummage around its roots and you never know what you might turn up.
Kelham Island Museum
Kelham Island is one of the city's oldest industrial sites. Find out about the buffer girls, grinders and little mesters whose skills and sweating brows are to thank for establishing world renown for the words "Made in Sheffield".
Our Guides
Modernist Churches of Sheffield
A look at some of the striking, bold and unexpectedly beautiful churches that were established to serve the growing communities of new-build estates in post-war Sheffield.
Abbeydale Picture House
An enchanted princess of a building, the beguiling 1920s Abbeydale Picture House is at last mid-rescue.
Sheffield General Cemetery
A hillside spot for both the living and the dead, containing stories of wars, epidemics, floods and more between 1836 and 1978. Today it's rich in history, wildlife and architecture.
Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet
A unique 18th-century scythe-making works, Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet is a piece of Sheffield’s history preserved. Explore the workers' cottages while the sounds of hammering and grinding float out of the working hand forge.
Shepherd Wheel
Shepherd Wheel is one of more than a hundred water-powered grinding wheels that were once in action in Sheffield. It's a great little stop on a Porter Valley walk, a few minutes from Endcliffe Park.
Portland Works
The birthplace of stainless steel cutlery. The cutlery works first opened in 1877 and was bought out by the community in 2013. Today the building is populated by a mix of artists, craftspeople, musicians and small-scale manufacturers.
National Emergency Services Museum
Housed in the old fire, police and ambulance station, this museum offers lessons in everything from the origins of the name "bobbies" to why hoax 999 calls are bad. There are lots of vehicles to climb on and uniforms to climb in, too.
Weston Park Museum
Trace Sheffield's social history and learn about life and nature in further flung parts of the world. The museum sits in one of the city's prettiest green spaces, next to blossom trees, a bandstand and pond.
Women of Steel
Linking their bronze arms in Barker's Pool, next to the City Hall, the Women of Steel are a powerful symbol of solidarity between women and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
Manor Lodge
One of Sheffield’s most incongruous buildings: a Tudor ruin, sitting next to a 20th-century residential estate. The hunting lodge used to be at the heart of a huge deer park and once held Mary Queen of Scots in picturesque captivity.
Sheffield Cathedral
From its Norman bricks to its 1960s tower, Sheffield Cathedral is full of stories. It could take you several visits to take it all in.
Renishaw Hall
Home to the Sitwell family for almost 400 years, this country house harbours a fascinating history of fluctuating fortunes and eccentric characters, including the literary trio of Edith, Osbert and Sacheverell, as well as delightful gardens.
Sheffield Central Library
Our neoclassical library is beautiful inside and out. Lit up at night, it quietly reminds passersby that it's always there, ready to satisfy their quests for knowledge. Inside, there's the marble columns, oak fittings, and, of course, tons of books.
Church of St Paul
Opened in 1959 and designed by noted architect Sir Basil Spence, this Grade II* listed church is a testament to modernism’s ability to deliver striking results within a minimal budget using basic materials (brick, steel, concrete and glass).
St Catherine of Siena
This Grade II listed 1950s church was built under the direction of Sir Basil Spence. A glazed pathway connects its brick chapel to a bell tower decorated with a sculpture by Ronald Pope, depicting the church's namesake saint at the foot of Jesus.
Holy Cross
A striking, distinctive and genuinely awe-inspiring modern building, perched on a hill overlooking Sheffield. Also seen in This is England '86.
Trinity United Reformed Church
Situated directly opposite Endcliffe Park and flanked on either side by 19th-century stone-built peaked terraces, the Trinity's brutalist, mostly windowless facade of greying concrete appears completely alien in its surroundings.
