GA Annual Conference 2026

This tour takes in some of Sheffield's key historical sights, giving participants a sense of the progression from market town to industrial powerhouse to post-industrial city. The tour leader is a social scientist of water whose interest in the contemporary management of water has led her to a ‘skilled amateur’ knowledge of Sheffield history.

Start point: liner.short.stared (outside the City Hall)
End point: Hush.tennis.fonts (at the Sheffield Tap)

Please note: There are steps and hills on this route. While most of the route has gentle gradients, the climb to the cholera monument is steep. Participants can opt out of this section if they prefer and proceed straight to the Sheffield Tap.
