    900 YEARS OF THE DON FISHERY fc n v ir o n m e to the down of the E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y The hand of man and the neglect of our . \i ancestors have deprived us of | a river which must have been a vision of glittering beauty (■ ERNEST PHILLIPS 1921 '1 The Don was once one of the country's finest salmon rivers. They have been absent from Salmon Pastures in Sheffield for more than two centuries. In fact for much of that time the river has been virtually fishless. Chris Firth's fascinating history of the river is timely. We now have a thriving coarse fishery again and the first salmon was found in Doncaster on 31 December 1995. Chris's study shows how man's exploitation of the Don devastated its ecology long before the pollution of the industrial revolution. Much has been achieved in recent years but much more remains to be done to protect and sustain the river. Os- JOHN FAWCETT CHAIRMAN 1 983 - 1 997 YORKSHIRE REGIONAL FISHERIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE Born and raised in the Don catchment, I have witnessed the river's misery throughout my childhood and into adult life. When in my professional life, the opportunity presented itself to begin the restoration of the Don I was eager to be involved. That is not to say that this document has been easy to produce. The collation of information from many varying sources has proved to be extremely challenging. The final product of many months of hard work is not a scientific record but a reflection borne of personal and professional experience.

We will hear about castles, graveyards, salmon, steel and even elephants, which are all connected in various ways to the Don. There will be lows, with the death of the Don, but ultimately it is a story of hope, with the ecological rebirth of the river.

  • Kelham Island Circular Walk
    Kelham Island Circular Walk ‘Industrial Sheffield’ Walk summary: A short pavement walk around this once heavily industrialised area with grand buildings Page | 1 from the 18th & 19th centuries. Distance: 1.6 miles / 2.6 kilometres Duration: approximately 1 hour not including stops Terrain: Flat, pavement walking Nearest Car Park: On road parking or RCP Parking Ltd, Corporation Street/Bridge Street, S3 8RG. Nearest Super Tram Stop: Shalesmoor 1. Kelham Island Museum Sheffield began to develop into an important industrial centre during the late 18th and early 19th century as a result of its specialisation in metal working. Harnessing water-power was key to the development of Kelham Island and the surrounding area for industry. The Kelham Island Conservation Area reflects the importance of this area and its development. Walk up Kelham Island with the mill race on your right Kelham Island isn’t really an island but a man-made spit of land resulting from the construction of the mill race in the 12th century. The mill race or ‘goit’ diverted water from the River Don to power a corn mill situated at Millsands near Lady’s Bridge that belonged to the Lord of the Manor. Apparently the island was named after the Town Armourer, Kellam Homer, who set up a grinding workshop in 1637. Some water still flows in to the goit and you can see the nine pillars or footings of the Britannia Corn Mill which sat astride the goit. The buildings were demolished in 1975. From here the goit is culverted running beneath Alma Street with the outfall on Nursery Street.
