The Welcome Cocktail Function will take place from

6.00pm to 8.00pm at the Sheffield Town Hall.

Located on Pinstone Street, a two minute walk from

the Mercure St Paul’s Hotel, this regal setting is a

perfect start to the conference where delegates can

meet and introduce themselves over canapés and a

welcome drink. A cash bar will be available.

This is the fourth town hall designed by London-

based architect, E.W. Mountford and constructed

over a seven-year period with completion in 1897.

An extension, designed by F.E.P. Edwards, was

completed in 1923. Planned extensions in the late

1930’s necessitated the demolition of the adjacent St

Paul’s Church, but extension plans were put on hold

due to the Second World War and the site was made

into a public garden instead.

Originally called St Paul’s Garden it was known as

the Peace Gardens which became the official name in

1985. In the 1990’s the gardens were renovated with

the emphasis on water features which have become a

popular picnic venue for families during the summer.

The building is currently used by

the Sheffield City Council and also

contains a publicly displayed

collection of silverware.

There is no cost to delegates for

this function as it is included in

the conference fee. Guests of

delegates are most welcome to

attend at a cost of $30 per

person.

Please see registration form for

more details.

been host to musical legends including

Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Morrissey,

wonderful evening of good food

Located in Barker’s Pool, one of Sheffield’s central squares, the Sheffield City Hall is the

city’s premier concert venue. Set in the heart of Sheffield, next to St Paul’s Hotel, the City

Hall was designed in 1920 but construction was delayed for 8 years due to the economic

climate in the early 1920’s. Construction eventually began in 1929 with the official opening

in 1932. During the Second World War a bomb exploded in Barker’s Pool, damaging the

pillars of the building.

Scars of the explosion can

still be seen today. In 2005

the City Hall and its

surroundings were

refurbished and re-

developed.

There is no cost to delegates for this function as it is included in the conference fee.

Guests of delegates are most welcome to attend at a cost of $60 per person.

Please see registration form for more details.

as well as experiencing how some of this is influencing new thinking and activities today.

During the early Medieval period, the Lodge was situated at the centre of Sheffield Park.

During this period Sheffield was only a small town comprised of a wooden motte and bailey

castle, a parish church and a mill on the outskirts of the Park. In the early 16th century the

Earl of Shrewsbury remodelled the medieval hunting lodge into one of the grandest manor

houses in the North of England and the base of one of the most powerful families in the

country. Prestigious visitors, including Cardinal Wolsey, placed the Lodge at the centre of

political and national intrigue during Henry VIII's reign. In the 1570s, during the reign of

Elizabeth I, the Lodge was used as a royal jail when the Shrewsburys became the custodians

of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Open: Every Saturday until 01st November

undergraduates for more than 100 years and we are now encouraging children from city

Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet

What may now appear quiet and peaceful was once the largest water-powered industrial site

on the River Sheaf. Abbeydale has been a place of metal working for hundreds of years.

From 1697 to 1933, scythes and other edge tools were made here and almost all the processes

were carried out on the site, from making the steel to grinding the blades.

As an integrated water-powered works, there are many different features to Abbeydale.

Water from the dam powered four waterwheels, which drove massive tilt-hammers, bellows

for the forger's hearth, giant grindstones and a boring lathe. Almost all the processes used in

the production of blades were carried out here

on one site. The only process carried out off

site was rolling crucible steel bars flat before

they were forged. This was done at Totley

Rolling Mill. The main industrial features of

the site are the crucible furnace, where

crucible steel for the tools was made, the tilt

forge where the large hammers forged tools

flat, and the grinding hull, where the blades

were sharpened.

There is an interactive area for all ages and

abilities to enjoy whilst discovering more about the history of the site. Rediscover the

Hamlet as you explore:

The waterwheels that provided power, fed by the water from the River Sheaf;

The blacking shop where the scythes were painted to protect them from rust;

The grinding hull where edge tools were sharpened;

The crucible furnace which is the last complete surviving crucible furnace in the

UK;

The tilt forge build in 1785 and houses two massive tilt hammers driven by the

site’s main waterwheel;

The worker’s cottages built between 1786 and 1793;

14

The counting house where the foreman and his clerk carried out the administrative work for the site;

The boring shop where holes were drilled into patent riveted scythes;

The steam engine built by Davy Brothers of Sheffield and installed in 1855 as an additional source of power; and

The Orchard and Victorian Garden
