Pay a visit to the Kelham Island Museum for a taste of the industrial history of Sheffield. The museum is located on a man-made island by the River Don, which runs through the city.
In 1829, an iron foundry was built on this island and later converted into a power station. Today, the museum features exhibitions on Sheffield’s industrial history.
It also holds regular demonstrations of the River Don Engine, a steam engine built in 1905 that was pivotal to the steel industry in the 20th century.
