Evening Talk: Behind the Scenes at Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet

Wed 17 September 2025 , 6pm-7pm

Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet

Join us to explore this nationally significant, water-powered steel and scythe works after hours and hear our most recent discoveries about this remarkable historic site.  

 

Hear from Project Manager, Pamela Cunningham about the recent discoveries about Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet we made during our ongoing programme of improvements at the Hamlet, Embrace Abbeydale. Pamela will share what we’ve learnt during our research into the site and the people who lived and worked there.  

 

Embrace Abbeydale is generously supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Sheffield City Council and The JG Graves Charitable Trust. 

 

This event is part of Heritage Open Days - England's largest community led festival of history and culture, involving thousands of local volunteers and organisations. Every year in September it brings people together to celebrate their heritage, community and history.

 

Suggested donation £5 – Please donate if you're able and help keep your museums open and available for everyone to enjoy.
