Event details

Saturday 22 April 2023
 

Walking Tour

We will meet at 1.30pm outside the Kelham Island Museum, to walk the ‘Furnace Trail’ of Kelham Island which will focus on the metal trades and early steel making, and we will see examples of cementation furnace, crucible furnaces, and a Bessimer Converter along the way as well as associated factories and cutlery works.

We will finish the walk at the Bower Springs Cementation Furnace, a scheduled monument which the SPAB group have been helping save with the local Sheffield Historic Buildings Trust.

The day will end with a Historic pub crawl for those who wish to stay and chat, including visits to The Shakespeare and Fat Cat!

Committee Meeting

The quarterly committee meeting will be held in the morning at Power Lab, Kelham Island Museum from 10.30am-12pm. Please email Lucy Newport at spabyorkshire@gmail.com if you intend to join the meeting.

There will be a chance to have a look around the free museum or have some lunch before the wider group meets for a walking tour in the afternoon.
