City of Rivers brings together stories, objects, artwork, film and photography to chronicle Sheffield's relationship with its waterways.
Sheffield is a city born from its rivers, sculpting the landscape and powering the industries that made it prosper.
Today, they're the arteries that flow through the urban sprawl, continuing to shape the character of the city and our lives in it. From vast reservoirs and cascading weirs to the brooks that trickle through our many green spaces, they also provide a home to a rich abundance of local wildlife.
City of Rivers brings together stories, objects, artwork, film and photography to chronicle Sheffield's relationship with its waterways. Drawing on contributions from people across the city, it reflects on our connections to them in our work, leisure time and our impact on the natural habitats they represent.
