The image shows a computer-generated view of how the River Sheaf may look when renovations are complete at the Castlegate site. The river is seen under a blue sky, with viewing platforms and seating areas available along the river bank for people to enjoy the view. A children's slide also runs down the hill, as do pathways.
We are delighted to join our partners at the Sheaf and Porter Rivers Trust in releasing this brand new image of the redevelopment of Castlegate.
It shows how the daylighted River Sheaf could look when work ends.

St Mars of the Desert, Sheffield 🏴 1st visit. Brewery in light industrial estate in Attercliffe. Open only a few hours a week. Utterly superb brewery and even tho the Fest that's on is elevating it, it's clear the hospitality, venue and bonhomie would clear the bar on a normal day. Love it 🍺🇩🇪
