  • Endcliffe Toad | Friends of the Porter Valley

    The Endcliffe Park Toad Donations To make a donation to the Endcliffe Park Toad renewal project, please do so here via our secure donations page. Donate Now Park Endcliffe Park jest własnością Rady Miejskiej Sheffield i jest jednym z najczęściej używanych obiektów w mieście, w którym latem często odbywają się cyrki i inne imprezy - w szczególności nasz Wielkanocny Wyścig Kaczek w każdy Poniedziałek Wielkanocny. ​ Plac zabaw został wyremontowany w 2008 roku przez Friends of Endcliffe Playground, a dzięki darowiźnie Przyjaciele Porter Valley przygotowano wiele atrakcji dla dzieci. W 2014 roku utworzono ośrodek treningowy parkour, ufundowany przez Sheffield Parkour Movement i darowiznę od Friends of Porter Valley. ​ W parku znajdują się trzy pomniki poświęcone królowej Wiktorii. W pobliżu wejścia znajduje się posąg królowej Wiktorii, a w połowie drogi do Whiteley Woods znajduje się obelisk również na cześć królowej Wiktorii. Obaj pierwotnie stali na szczycie Fargate w centrum Sheffield. Trzeci to grawerowany głaz w pobliżu placu zabaw. ​ Znajduje się tam również kamień pamiątkowy oznaczający miejsce katastrofy latającej fortecy USAAF B-17 „Mi Amigo”. 22 lutego 1944 samolot wracał, poważnie uszkodzony przez myśliwce broniące Me-109, z bombardowania nad Aalborgiem w Danii. Około 17:00 rozbił się w parku, tracąc całą dziesiątkę członków załogi. Coroczne nabożeństwo żałobne organizowane przez Royal Air Forces Association odbywa się w tym miejscu w niedzielę najbliższą 22 lutego. ​ W 2019 roku zorganizowano przelot z okazji 75. rocznicy katastrofy.

  • Whiteley Woods - Upper | Friends of the Porter Valley

    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.

  • Bingham | Friends of the Porter Valley

    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). Two tennis courts have already been upgraded and there are plans to turn another old court into a netball/basketball court. The group is also working on plans for a small skatepark. One old court has been resurfaced and can be used for a range of activities, e.g. for children learning to ride scooters/bikes, frisby, tai-chi etc. 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’. ​ Update from Bingham Park Community Group If you would like to make a donation towards the work of the Bingham park Community Group and the improvements to the sporting facilities please click the button here. Donate Good news for Bingham Park in 2019 and plans for 2020: Court 1 is now resurfaced and can be used for bike riding, skateboarding etc. Courts 4 and 5 have been completely refurbished - The Lawn Tennis Association provided funds for the upgrade of these two tennis courts. They are managed as pay-to-play courts which you can book online. This system is already running successfully at Hillsborough, Weston Park and Millhouses.For more info see: https://parkstennis.co.uk/sheffield The remaining area (old courts 6-9) have been landscaped and seeded with wild flowers. The astroturf has also been repaired this year. There are new goal posts and holes in the astroturf have been patched. The wall has been repaired.We want to keep improving things through 2020. The plan is to turn the old court 3 into a netball/basketball court and the group is also now looking at designs for a small skatepark, possibly alongside the wildflower area between the new tennis courts and the astroturf. 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.

  • Proposals | Friends of the Porter Valley

    Forge Dam Propozycje „Forge Dam Heritage & Habitat Improvement Project” to partnerstwo przyjaciół Porter Valley, Rady Miasta Sheffield i innych zainteresowanych stron. Jego celem jest przywrócenie tamy jako udogodnienia dla mieszkańców Sheffield i jako siedliska dzikiej przyrody. Nasze plany obejmują: Drzewa Usuwanie drzew i krzewów z przelewu i ściany zapory. Może to być niepopularne, ale będziemy na bieżąco informować opinię publiczną, aby zrozumiała, że prace są niezbędne do ochrony konstrukcji zapory, aby mogła trwać przez kolejne 250 lat. Wyspa Zmniejszenie rozmiaru wyspy i usunięcie drzew, ponieważ była to najpopularniejsza opcja (w przeciwieństwie do całkowitego usunięcia wyspy lub pozostawienia jej bez zmian), gdy przeprowadziliśmy konsultacje społeczne. Łodzie Wiele osób z wielką sympatią wspomina łodzie wiosłowe, które kiedyś znajdowały się na zaporze Forge. Jednak NIE planuje się ich zwrotu w ramach tych propozycji. Muł Zmniejszenie ilości mułu docierającego do tamy poprzez zbudowanie ściany „treningowej” wzdłuż oryginalnej trasy potoku, aby zachęcić do przepływu. Współpracuje również z właścicielami ziemskimi w górnym biegu rzeki. Jednak główną i najbardziej kosztowną częścią projektu będzie usuwanie mułu znajdującego się obecnie w tamie, co będzie musiało poczekać na pełne zebranie środków. ​ Forge Dam Works W styczniu 2021 r. Rada zatwierdziła propozycje odbudowy, w tym: usuwanie mułu, wstawienie dyskretnej ściany, aby skierować potok nad przelewem i rozwiązać długotrwały problem zamulania oraz stworzenie atrakcyjnego otwartego akwenu o różnych głębokościach, zrekonfigurowanej wyspy i nasadzeń na brzegach rozkaz do poprawić siedlisko dzikiej fauny i flory”. ​ Rozpoczęcie praktycznego odmulania jest obecnie planowane na jesień 2021 r., a w miesiącach pośrednich położono praktyczne fundamenty pod renowację, co oznacza, że obie strony podpisały umowę o partnerstwie, FoPV przekaże Radzie 267 000 funtów, specyfikacje i przetargi na wydano różne specjalistyczne prace, sporządzono plany poprawy siedliska. ​ W maju powołano „Sanctus Ltd”, specjalistę ds. inżynierii środowiska. Ich zespół ma doskonałe doświadczenie w projektach takich jak nasz, został uznany za Najlepszy Zielony Biznes w konkursie Liderzy Biznesu 2020 i zapewni odbudowę aż do ukończenia. ​ Oficjalny zakres prac można pobrać tutaj, a dokument PDF przedstawiający Plany Zapory Kuźni i dolinę nad nią. Historia

  • Whiteley Woods - Lower | Friends of the Porter Valley

    Whiteley Woods - Lower ​ Whiteley Woods, acquired by Sheffield Corporation in stages in the early years of the 20th century, is a narrow linear park which occupies an area of c11.5 hectares. The Porter Brook runs through the centre of the park with fairly steep, well-wooded valley sides to the north and south. The area inside the park, close to the Rustlings Road entrance, is formal with grass areas and shrub and tree plantings. There is a gradual transition in style from here towards the less formal character higher up the valley. The lodge at the park entrance was erected in 1908 at a cost of £640 and consisted of 2 rooms and a scullery on the ground floor, 3 bedrooms, a shelter and conveniences. Woods & Dams ​ To the left of the main path is Trippett Wood, an area of ancient woodland, dating back to at least 1600. Woodpeckers, jays, tree-creepers and nuthatches are commonly seen in the woodland, whilst dippers and wagtails are resident near the river. A short distance into Whiteley Woods is the Ibbotson Dam, with records dating back to the 16th century. It is sometimes known as the Upper Spur Gear Dam, the name originating from the arrangement of the Wheel’s gear drive and different to that used on other wheels in the area. The Wheel and dam were bequeathed to Francis Otter in 1875 by his uncle, Robert Younge, owner and resident of Greystones Hall. Francis Otter sold them to Sheffield Corporation in the early 20th century. Mills ​ Walter Charles Ibbotson was a grinder who leased the Ibbotson Wheel in the 1890s but by the turn of the century he had diversified as the area became more attractive for leisure activities. ​ His advertisement in the Sheffield Independent of 1896 states “PORTER GLEN, TOP OF ENDCLIFFE PARK – Visitors will find Good Accommodation for Hot Water; Teas Provided, Schools and Parties Catered for; Boating, Swings; a large play ground -W C IBBOTSON” ​ The Wheel was in good order in 1930 when it was suggested that it could become an industrial museum similar to Shepherd Wheel. Nothing came of the idea and the Wheel was demolished in the 1950s. Armchair Bridge ​ There are the remains of a dam between Highcliffe Road and Whiteley Wood Road and the main path follows the goit. This was the site of the Leather Wheel, built in 1754 and shortly afterwards incorporated into the works of Thomas Boulsover. Sometimes alternatively known as the Nether Wheel, it ceased operating around 1900 and was demolished in 1907. ​ A bridge, stone-built with seating niches and ornamental copings, across the Porter on Whiteley Wood Road, is known as the ‘armchair bridge’. Photos from the early 20th century show the sides of the bridge as being made of wooden lattices. These have now been replaced with stone.
