Van meşan pir populer bûne û ji ber ku her ku diçe hejmaran zêde dibin em naha neçar in ku bi xebitandina pergalek qeydkirinê jimareyan sînordar bikin. Walk Registration Qeydkirina meşên me belaş e û dê du hefte berî meşê peyda bibe. Ji bo qeydkirinê li ser bişkoja jêrîn bikirtînin da ku cîh an cîhên xwe veqetînin û ji kerema xwe mîqdarê li gorî hejmara kesên ku hûn ji bo veqetandinê vedihewînin eyar bikin. Hûn ê tavilê erêkirina veqetandina xwe wergirin ku tê de hûrguliyên li ser cihê ku meşîn dest pê dike û bilêta/yên we vedihewîne. Pêdivî ye ku hûn bilêtê bigihînin destpêka meşê, an bi çapkirina wê an jî hûn dikarin guhertoyek dîjîtal li ser têlefona xwe nîşan bidin. Ji kerema xwe bêyî ku ji wan re bilêtek ferman bidin heval an malbatek din bi xwe re nekin, an jî cîhê civînê parve nekin ji ber ku divê em piştrast bikin ku hejmar li gorî hejmara lihevkirî têne girtin. Dema ku hemî bilêt hatine ferman kirin, an êvarê berî meşê saet di 17:00 de dê qeydkirin biqedin. Mixabin em nikarin nîşan bidin ka çend bilêt mane dema ku hûn qeyd dikin. Ger hûn hewl didin ku ji mayînê zêdetir ferman bidin, ew ê nehêle hûn ji yên ku ji bo wê meşê hene zêdetir ferman bidin. Ger ev yek bibe û hûn bi 1 bilêtê kêm bin, ji kerema xwe bilêtên mayî ferman bidin û bi karanîna rûpela pêwendiya me re têkilî daynin. ! Widget Didn’t Load Check your internet and refresh this page.

- Endcliffe Toad | Friends of the Porter Valley
Information about the Endcliffe Park Toad sculpture, in Sheffield. The Endcliffe Park Toad The new iron toad shortly after installation. Donations Although the new toad is now in place, we still need to raise a few more pounds to meet the cost. To make a donation to the Endcliffe Park Toad renewal project, please do so here via our secure donations page. Donate The iron toad after one week. The Endcliffe Park Toad, seen above, is a well known piece of public art located a few metres below the Cafe. The latest version was installed on 5th December 2024 after almost a year of fundraising by FoPV, and it is made of metal by a local sculptor called Jason Thompson, who has also designed and made other works of art in Sheffield such as the 'Chair' in the Rivelin Valley. This is the third toad made by Jason to sit on this base. The first toad, in 1997, was jointly funded as a celebration of nature - by the Off the Shelf Literary festival, and Sheffield Wildlife Trust. Both wooden toads eventually deteriorated, returning them to nature, each lasting about 12 years. The remains of the 2012 toad can still be seen beside the holly bush beside the river. Reflecting the original heritage, the current toad sits on the open pages of a book, as with the previous two wooden toads of 1997 and 2012. Sculptor Jason Thomson, and Glyn Mansell of FoPV, visited Greystones Primary School and talked to pupils in Y2 and Y5 about the Toad project. The pupils were fascinated and later produced art and written work which was displayed in school and the Tropical Pavilion at the Botanical Gardens one Saturday in September 2024 . A selection of this work is inscribed onto the new ‘pages’ supporting the metal 2024 toad, some of which can be seen in the pictures below. The Watch We are often asked about the watch, so we asked Jason to explain. "It’s about time and the frozen nature of sculpture as the world changes around it. The new iron toad , if left alone, could last for ten or twenty thousand years compared to 12 to 15 years for his two wooden incarnations. The frog Prince of fairy tales also comes into it, but as he’s a common toad (Bufo Bufo ) maybe a nice watch is preferable?" Close-ups of the books

Details about the proposals to renovate Forge Dam in Sheffield. Pêşniyarên Bendava Forge 'Projeya Mîrateya Bendava Forge & Başkirina Jîngehê' hevkariyek Friends of Porter Valley, Meclîsa Bajarê Sheffield, û aliyên din ên eleqedar e. Armanca wê ew e ku bendavê ji bo gelê Sheffield, û wekî jîngehek jîngeha kovî vegerîne. Planên me hene: Daran Paqijkirina dar û kulîlkan ji çem û dîwarê bendavê. Dibe ku ev nerazî nebe, lê em ê raya giştî agahdar bikin da ku ew fêm bikin ku xebat ji bo parastina avahiya bendavê hewce ye ku 250 salên din bidome. The Island Kêmkirina mezinahiya giravê, û rakirina daran, ji ber ku ev vebijarka herî populer bû (berevajî rakirina giravê bi tevahî, an hiştina wê wekî ku ye) dema ku me şêwirek gelemperî pêk anî. Boats Gelek kes keştiyên keştiyê yên ku berê li ser Bendava Forgeyê bûn, bi hezkirinek mezin bibîr tînin. Lêbelê TU plan tune ku van wekî beşek ji van pêşniyaran vegerînin. Silt Kêmkirina mîqdara siltê ku digihîje bendavê, bi avakirina dîwarek 'perwerdehiyê' li ser riya çemê orjînal da ku di herikê de teşwîq bike. Di heman demê de bi xwediyên zeviyên jorîn re jî dixebitin. Lêbelê, beşa sereke ya projeyê, û ya herî biha ye, dê rakirina lûleya ku niha di bendavê de ye, ku dê li bendê bimîne heya ku drav bi tevahî were berhev kirin. Karên Bendava Forge Di Çileya 2021-an de Encûmenê pêşniyarên restorasyonê pejirand, di nav de: 'rakirina sît, xistina dîwarekî biaqil ji bo rêvekirina çemê ser çemê rijandinê û çareserkirina pirsgirêka demdirêj a şilbûnê, û afirandina cesedek vekirî ya balkêş a avê bi cûrbecûr kûrahî, giravek ji nû ve vesazkirî û çandina li ser peravên derdorê ferman bide jîngeha ji bo jiyana kovî baştir bike'. Naha tê plan kirin ku paqijkirina pratîkî di payîza sala 2021-an de dest pê bike û di mehên navîn de bingehên pratîkî yên nûsazkirinê hatin danîn, tê vê wateyê ku peymanek hevkariyê ji hêla her du aliyan ve hate îmze kirin, FoPV dê 267,000 £ bide Encûmenê, taybetmendî û îhaleyên ji bo xebatên cuda yên pispor hatin derxistin, plansaziyên başkirina jîngehê hatin çêkirin. Di Gulanê de, 'Sanctus Ltd', pisporek endezyariya hawirdorê hate tayîn kirin. Tîma wan xwedan ezmûnek têkildar a hêja ya projeyên mîna ya me ye, di Xelatên Rêvebirên Karsaziya 2020-an de wekî Karsaziya Kesk a Herî Baş hate binav kirin û dê restorasyonê heya qedandinê radest bike. Qada fermî ya xebatan dikare li vir were dakêşandin, û belgeyek PDF-ê ku Planên Bendava Forge û geliyê li jorê wê nîşan dide. Dîrok

- Bingham | Friends of the Porter Valley
Information about Bingham park in Sheffield. Part of the FoPV area. Bingham Park Bingham Park is owned by Sheffield City Council and is a grassy and wooded area just west of Endcliffe Park. The higher parts have views across the valley to Ranmoor. The Park is next door to Whitley Woods where Shepherd Wheel can be found. The park also has tennis courts, a bowling green, plus an Astroturf court commonly used by local footballers. Original Owners In the mid 19th century, the land we now know as Bingham Park was owned by Robert Younge of Greystones Hall who bequeathed it in his will of 1875 to his nephew, Francis Otter of Ranby Hall, Wragby. Sir John Bingham and his wife, Maria, had a good view of the wooded hillside from their home across the valley, next to Ranmoor Church. One day, whilst looking out of their window, Sir John said to his wife, “Would you like a very fine set of jewels or would you prefer to give that beautiful gem over there to the children of Sheffield?” Lady Bingham answered that she would rather Sheffield had the jewel and so Sir John bought the 11 acres of land and in September 1911, at the opening ceremony of the park, he handed over the deeds to Sheffield’s Lord Mayor. Sports Whiteley Wood Bowling Club was formed in 1910 and had one small flat green down at the bottom of the hill. The 2 greens you can see today half way up the hill were laid out in 1914 and 1915 which was when the old pavilion was built and opened by the then president, Sir john Bingham. The current pavilion was opened on April 22nd 1972 by the then Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Alderman Hebblethwaite. The land at the top of the hill was bought by the Council in 1912 to link Whiteley Woods with Bingham Park. The golf course is marked on the 1935 map and it is still possible to see where the greens were. Photos of the area in 1950 also show allotment plots here and very few trees. Remains Further down in what is now a wooded area below Bingham Park Road is an octagonal concrete base above the path. This was the base for a shelter, a simple wooden structure, like a summer house, painted royal blue. It was built when the land in front of it was open and before the trees blocked the view of John Bingham’s house, next door to Ranmoor Church. The allotments behind the houses on Rustlings Road have been here since 1905 when the previous site, between Hunters Bar and Psalter Lane, was needed for building. On the southern side of the allotments lies an area of ancient oak woodland. Over 400 years old, this is an important wildlife habitat where it is possible to hear woodpeckers and enjoy swathes of bluebells and wood anemones. Restoration Works The Bingham Park Community Group was set up in November 2016 to encourage the community to take an active part in the redevelopment of facilities in the Park. The area had declined and needed major work to improve the facilities. With help from FoPV, funds were raised to repair walls and resurface one of the old tennis courts. Sheffield City Council in conjunction with the Lawn Tennis Association provided a couple of pay to play tennis courts which are very popular. The AstroTurf court has been repaired and some of the old tennis court areas have been landscaped, and new benches installed around the park. Work continues to develop the remaining tennis courts and a netball and basketball court are being considered. If you would like to help the Bingham Park Community Group please let us know. Bingham Park Community Group (BPCG) Sadly parts of Bingham Park have seen better days and we are supporting a small group of enthusiastic residents of this area with plans to renovate and upgrade parts of the Park. Bingham Park Community Group wants to raise funds to improve the facilities in Bingham Park (including the football and tennis courts, bowling green, golf course and surrounding green areas). For the latest updates plese see below. If you would like to get involved in helping with these renovations please let us know via the Contact us link below. The group also has an active Facebook page - search for ‘Bingham Park Community Group’.

Donate Bingham Park Community Group (BPCG) is collaborating with Friends of Porter Valley (FoPV) and Sheffield Parks Department to enhance Bingham Park's facilities. The 3 lower courts ( 1-2-3) next to the 2 new Pay to Play Tennis courts were in very bad condition. Court 3; Fundraising started in 2019 and court 3 was resurfaced and walls repaired, and fencing was provided on 2 sides in 2024. Court 1; In 2022, a Basketball/Netball court was built through fundraising from donations, grants, and crowdfunding. The posts can be rotated for both sports, and it has proved it popular and is free to access. Court 2; This saw a second Basketball court constructed in 2023. Adjacent to the basketball courts, two picnic tables have been installed. Additionally, a couple of park benches offering exceptional views of Ranmoor are situated near the courts. Children’s Adventure Trail. This trail is constructed of timber at the top of the park. The Trail was financed by Loadhog, a Sheffield firm, with some additional funds from FoPV in February 2024. Fruit Trees. In February 2025, 30 fruit trees, including greengage, apple, pear, and plum, were planted near the tennis courts. Over 80 community volunteers, including children, families, and adults, participated. The Local Area Committee funded the project. Pétanque/ Boules. Plans are underway to build a Pétanque Court at Bingham Park's ‘old’ bowling green. Funding has been provided by J.G Graves, Sheffield Town Trust, Co-op Ecclesall Road, Loadhog, and the Duck Race, with additional support from FoPV and individual donors. Skateboard Park This project is in its early stages. More details will be provided later. We are keen to do more for local teenagers - encouraging them to make more use of the facilities.Bingham Park Community Group will continue to improve the attractiveness of this piece of land after years of neglect. We meet every three months and are always on the look out for new members/volunteers. Find us on Facebook (search ‘Bingham Park Community Group’) and get updates about meetings and events.

- Whiteley Woods - Upper | Friends of the Porter Valley
Information about Upper Whiteley Woods in Sheffield. Part of the FoPV area. Whiteley Woods - Upper This is the section of valley from Armchair Bridge up to Carr Bridge, just above Forge Dam. Walkers leave the formal pathways completely, entering a wooded area, the River flowing down its natural bed with rough paths on either side. Alder, beech, oak, sycamore, ash, hawthorn and holly, make up this area of ancient woodland, providing habitats for a wide variety of invertebrates and shelter for owls, hedgehogs, foxes and badgers. This area is alive with songbirds. Grey wagtails can be seen foraging along the valley floor and dippers perch characteristically on rocks midstream then dive into the water, walking against the currents in search of small invertebrates which abound in the river. Wire Mill On the left side of the river, steps or a steep path lead up to Wire Mill Dam. This used to be a popular location for anglers and model boat enthusiasts in the past. In early spring you may hear your first chiff-chaff, followed by warblers, swallows and swifts. On the Dam itself can be seen coots, moorhens, mallards and mandarins and as summer arrives so do the waterlilies. On the path beside the Dam is a memorial to Thomas Boulsover, the first owner of Wire Mill, who in the 18th century, invented Sheffield Plate. The path upstream runs alongside a man-made channel or goit. This is the supply for Wire Mill Dam and takes water from the Porter just below Forge Dam, creating a high fall of water, sufficient to accommodate two wheels each 11 metres in diameter. Secret Door Before the road bridge at Forge Dam there are 3 tiers of gabions lining the far side of the River. They protect the bank when the River is in flood. On your left as you reach the road is a 3-storey building in which workers lived and produced buttons made from Sheffield Plate. If you take an immediate left turn on reaching the tarmac road and climb up Ivy Cottage Lane you will see on your right steps leading to a carved wooden door which bears the inscription…. ‘Chestnut, Plane & Sycamore, who or what lies behind the door?’ This unusual feature hides a concrete support which stabilises the tree. Buildings There are almost 50 nests in the rookery on the right just before the playground. The rooks can be seen in daytime out on fields high in the valley and return noisily to roost at night. Some of Thomas Boulsover’s ancillary buildings still exist at Forge Dam although the Forge itself has gone. Here a large wheel drove two tilt hammers and a smaller wheel operated blowers for the furnaces. The popular Forge Dam café is housed in a structure which was once Sharrow Vale Wesleyan Reform Chapel. On the Dam there is often a motionless grey heron amongst the reeds keeping watch on the duck families and throughout the year there may be an opportunity to spot a kingfisher or two.
- Porter Clough | Friends of the Porter Valley
Information about Porter Clough in Sheffield. Part of the FoPV area. Porter Clough Crossing Woodcliffe at Carr Bridge, close to the confluence of the river Porter and the May Brook, a path enters the Porter Clough section of the Porter Valley. A stone near the entrance records the gift of the land to the city by the J G Graves Trust in 1938. To the right is a small hamlet, Carr Houses, typical of the settlements in this part of the valley. The original, left-hand end of the terrace dates back to 1675 and in 1707 was a small public house. As you walk up the path, across the fields to the right are a cluster of buildings on the site of the former Fulwood Corn Mills, the highest water mills in the valley. The lower mill was demolished around 1950 and both the dams filled in. However, the main buildings of the upper mill are still occupied. It was at this mill that buttons and snuff boxes, produced lower down the valley at the works of Thomas Boulsover, were given their final buffing and polishing. After crossing Mark Lane, the main path continues uphill and is easy to miss as it runs parallel to Clough Lane. It closely follows the course of the Porter Brook as it crosses to either side a couple of times, as the gradient begins to increase. The Waterfall Known affectionately as The Porter Falls, this is the only natural waterfall on the river. At only four metres high they can be a spectacular sight after heavy rain. A small bridge across the brook bears a plaque in memory of Oliver Gilbert, a renowned ecologist and Friend of the Porter Valley who inspired the restoration of the bridge. Jacobs Ladder Not far above the Falls, and to the left of Clough Lane, is a very steep path straight up the hillside known as Jacob’s Ladder. This was once the site of a ski lift operated by the Sheffield Ski Club and the slope is still a popular place for winter sports. From here, the main walk leaves Clough Lane and enters a deep wooded ravine containing many beech trees. The path becomes narrow with very steep, dramatic sides as it reaches its steepest gradient. The surrounding landscape is rural in character and the clough itself is informal, with natural woodland along what is the narrowest section of the valley. Hares can be seen throughout the clough, and birds of prey such as kestrel, buzzards and sparrow hawk are regularly spotted as are crows, rooks and ravens. Source of the Porter At the top, on Fulwood Lane there is a Toposcope, or orientation cairn, as shown at the top of this page. Built in 2005 and funded by local Rotary Clubs, it indicates the direction and distance to notable features which can be seen on a clear day. Across the road the path continues through the open fields to the old Brown Edge Quarries which were well known for producing high quality sandstone roofing slates. The source of the Porter is beyond the quarry where a boundary fence marks the start of Hallam Moors, a sphagnum bog on the watershed above Ringinglow. A wooden footbridge gives access to a gate that leads you onto Rud Hill where you can enjoy panoramic views back down the valley.
