Neepsend Walking Tour

Neepsend: Life in a Sheffield Industrial Community

Neepsend Walking Tour

Saturday 5 October 2024

Neepsend is Kelham Island's edgier twin across the river. It has the same industrial history, but one that's quite different from its neighbour.

This walk brings to life the story of how Neepsend grew from a small hamlet by the river, (a history much older than Kelham Island's), to a thriving and lively working class community. Today it is a vibrant part of Sheffield but its past is still there to see if you know where to look.

You will learn the fascinating stories of a typical Sheffield working class community with its houses, pubs, shops, cinema, swimming baths, institutes, and churches, it's factories that made (and in some cases still make) screws, saws and polish, brewers, the typographers, the railway workers, the gas works and it's also of course a story of steel.

You will see the recording studios (that inspired the Arctic Monkeys, the artists and the items that still being produced in the area today. It also includes the opportunity to visit the hidden cellars of one of the area’s former factories.
