Sheffield City Council reveal new images of uncovered river Sheaf
Thursday 18 September 2025 2:07 pm
A section of the River Sheaf in Sheffield, which had been hidden underground for more than 100 years, was originally brought back into daylight earlier this year.
The uncovering of the Sheaf is part of a wider project to create a new public park and events space on the site of Sheffield’s former castle, which is due to be opened late next year.
