Visitors can expect to step into the past and explore the industry that shaped Sheffield at this rural scythe and steelworks dating back to the 1700s. They can immerse themselves in life at home and at work, see the waterwheels and dam that powered the site, and explore the last complete surviving crucible steel furnace in the UK.
There is a neighborhood café open seven days a week, offering tasty breakfast, brunch, lunch, and specialty coffee. Visitors can also find onsite facilities such as a Manager's House, Worker's Cottage, Counting House, and Blacking Shop to explore.
This winter, a two-year program of improvements is beginning at the museum thanks to major funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Visitors can expect to see enhancements to the waterwheels, tilt hammers, grindstones, boring machinery, and more.
This museum showcases the innovative processes and people that helped earn Sheffield's reputation as the Steel City. It offers a glimpse into what life was like for workers in the mid-1800s, with exhibits such as the Crucible Steel Furnace and Counting House.
Sheffield Museums is a charity, and support from visitors helps keep the museums open and free for everyone to enjoy. Visitors can also keep up to date with the latest news, online events, and ways to visit the museum from home.
