Sheffield: A Civilised Place guided walk

Join Duncan Froggatt of the Institution of Civil Engineers for a guided walk along an easy-going city centre discovery trail.

The tour will explore how engineering has developed the city of Sheffield. Architects and engineers work together to create the cityscape we shall study.

You will see diverse buildings and structures, ancient and modern, various forms of transport (road, rail, tram and water) and the bridges they need. You will not see hidden essentials like water supply and drainage, but you will learn something about where they are.

You will see different materials being used in different forms - all designed and constructed by engineers, applying science and using engineering principles. We will learn something of the historical contexts, local and national, of some of these landmarks.

This is an easy going trail on city streets suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Please note we are close to busy streets and cross tram tracks. Accessible toilets at the Cathedral at the start and some other locations along the route.

Registered Assistance dogs only are welcome.
