A free walk which forms part of Sheffield Walking Festival in September will depart from Crosspool.

On Monday 11 September 2017, the 16.5km walk leaves Crosspool shops at 10:20am and will then visit a number of cemeteries on the western edge of Sheffield.

As well as the cemeteries we go along the Rivelin Valley with its industrial archaeology and past a mini sculpture park. The walk has great views of the moorlands and the countryside. We finally take the old coffin path to High Bradfield and if we have time visit the motte and baile.

Successful festival quiz night at The Sportsman

Wednesday’s quiz night at The Sportsman pub was well attended as usual.

The local quiz regulars were joined by visitors from Stannington and Hillsborough as resident quizmaster Roger chose a selection of traditional and Crosspool quiz questions to make the evening enjoyable for all.

The two Crosspool history walks went ahead this week despite the drizzly weather.

28 people attended the Tuesday morning walk and 15 ventured out on Wednesday  evening.

A big thank you to Jan Millward for a very interesting two-hour journey into Crosspool’s past.

The walks are part of the 2017 Crosspool Festival, which finishes on Sunday.
