Following the success of the previous guided walks, Heritage Open Days 2025 will include a guided historical walk in Neepsend, an area in inner-city Sheffield which is currently 'on the up' (it's next door to Kelham Island, the 35th 'Coolest Place on the planet.'). We will encompass both aspects of industrial, and social, heritage and of the ‘Beer Capital’ status owned by the City of Sheffield. Highlights include the ex-Samuel Osborn Works (now Church – Temple of Fun), Naomi’s Corner, Ball Bridge, the JC Albyn complex and William Stones Cannon Brewery.

The short walk (one and a half hours, including one stop) will finish in the Beer Garden in the co-operatively owned Gardeners Rest.

The walk will be led by ‘Sheffield’s Real Heritage Pubs’ editor, Dave Pickersgill.

Meet just before 16:00 on Thursday 18th September 2025, opposite the Gardeners Rest in Neepsend (S3 8AT).

This event includes the oportunity to purchase (cash only):

• The Little Chicago pub heritage walk booklet - A5, 32 pages (rrp £2.99)

Bookings available from 1st August 2025.
