The “Blue Loop” – the walk around the Five Weirs walk on the River Don and the canal towpath – is being promoted with a waterways historian leading a heritage trail .
The organisers say:
“Sheffield is remarkably one of the most influential cities in regards to industry, with machinery and mills at the heart of its culture. Revisit the sounds of Sheffield’s Industry, join a local waterways historian for a heritage trail around the River Don and Tinsley Canal, telling you stories of the areas that made Sheffield proud of its industrial past.”
