Carr Forge Dam In the Shirebrook Valley below Woodhouse were several waterwheels, possibly dating back to Tudor times, and part of Sheffield&#039;s early industrial heritage.

Ducks on Carr Forge Dam

Since a youngster nearly killed himself when his fishing pole touched overhead live wires a few years ago, fishing on the dam has been banned by order of Sheffield Council, so the ducks have free rein. Here, mummy-duck sits on the stone keeping an eye on youngster. As I cycled past, another five of this year's brood appeared out from under the shelter of the bank.

Can't really say much more. This is the bottom end of Hackenthorpe, the opposite side of the Shirebrook Valley to Woodhouse and Beighton.

Remains of Nether Wheel, Woodhouse

Along with SK4184 : Carr Forge Dam, the Nether Wheel was yet another of the waterwheels along the Shirebrook Valley. This one still has visible remains of the buildings, buried in woodland although accessible by waymarked footpaths. This wheel probably drove grinding stones or similar for the manufacture of agricultural tools.
