  • Porter Clough | Friends of the Porter Valley

    Information about Porter Clough in Sheffield. Part of the FoPV area. Porter Clough Crossing Woodcliffe at Carr Bridge, close to the confluence of the river Porter and the May Brook, a path enters the Porter Clough section of the Porter Valley. A stone near the entrance records the gift of the land to the city by the J G Graves Trust in 1938. To the right is a small hamlet, Carr Houses, typical of the settlements in this part of the valley. The original, left-hand end of the terrace dates back to 1675 and in 1707 was a small public house. As you walk up the path, across the fields to the right are a cluster of buildings on the site of the former Fulwood Corn Mills, the highest water mills in the valley. The lower mill was demolished around 1950 and both the dams filled in. However, the main buildings of the upper mill are still occupied. It was at this mill that buttons and snuff boxes, produced lower down the valley at the works of Thomas Boulsover, were given their final buffing and polishing. After crossing Mark Lane, the main path continues uphill and is easy to miss as it runs parallel to Clough Lane. It closely follows the course of the Porter Brook as it crosses to either side a couple of times, as the gradient begins to increase. The Waterfall Known affectionately as The Porter Falls, this is the only natural waterfall on the river. At only four metres high they can be a spectacular sight after heavy rain. A small bridge across the brook bears a plaque in memory of Oliver Gilbert, a renowned ecologist and Friend of the Porter Valley who inspired the restoration of the bridge. Jacobs Ladder Not far above the Falls, and to the left of Clough Lane, is a very steep path straight up the hillside known as Jacob’s Ladder. This was once the site of a ski lift operated by the Sheffield Ski Club and the slope is still a popular place for winter sports. From here, the main walk leaves Clough Lane and enters a deep wooded ravine containing many beech trees. The path becomes narrow with very steep, dramatic sides as it reaches its steepest gradient. The surrounding landscape is rural in character and the clough itself is informal, with natural woodland along what is the narrowest section of the valley. Hares can be seen throughout the clough, and birds of prey such as kestrel, buzzards and sparrow hawk are regularly spotted as are crows, rooks and ravens. Source of the Porter At the top, on Fulwood Lane there is a Toposcope, or orientation cairn, as shown at the top of this page. Built in 2005 and funded by local Rotary Clubs, it indicates the direction and distance to notable features which can be seen on a clear day. Across the road the path continues through the open fields to the old Brown Edge Quarries which were well known for producing high quality sandstone roofing slates. The source of the Porter is beyond the quarry where a boundary fence marks the start of Hallam Moors, a sphagnum bog on the watershed above Ringinglow. A wooden footbridge gives access to a gate that leads you onto Rud Hill where you can enjoy panoramic views back down the valley.

  • Whiteley Woods - Lower | Friends of the Porter Valley

    Information about Lower Whiteley Woods in Sheffield. Part of the FoPV area. Whiteley Woods - Lower Whiteley Woods, acquired by Sheffield Corporation in stages in the early years of the 20th century, is a narrow linear park which occupies an area of c11.5 hectares. The Porter Brook runs through the centre of the park with fairly steep, well-wooded valley sides to the north and south. The area inside the park, close to the Rustlings Road entrance, is formal with grass areas and shrub and tree plantings. There is a gradual transition in style from here towards the less formal character higher up the valley. The lodge at the park entrance was erected in 1908 at a cost of £640 and consisted of 2 rooms and a scullery on the ground floor, 3 bedrooms, a shelter and conveniences. Woods & Dams To the left of the main path is Trippett Wood, an area of ancient woodland, dating back to at least 1600. Woodpeckers, jays, tree-creepers and nuthatches are commonly seen in the woodland, whilst dippers and wagtails are resident near the river. A short distance into Whiteley Woods is the Ibbotson Dam, with records dating back to the 16th century. It is sometimes known as the Upper Spur Gear Dam, the name originating from the arrangement of the Wheel’s gear drive and different to that used on other wheels in the area. The Wheel and dam were bequeathed to Francis Otter in 1875 by his uncle, Robert Younge, owner and resident of Greystones Hall. Francis Otter sold them to Sheffield Corporation in the early 20th century. Mills Walter Charles Ibbotson was a grinder who leased the Ibbotson Wheel in the 1890s but by the turn of the century he had diversified as the area became more attractive for leisure activities. His advertisement in the Sheffield Independent of 1896 states “PORTER GLEN, TOP OF ENDCLIFFE PARK – Visitors will find Good Accommodation for Hot Water; Teas Provided, Schools and Parties Catered for; Boating, Swings; a large play ground -W C IBBOTSON” The Wheel was in good order in 1930 when it was suggested that it could become an industrial museum similar to Shepherd Wheel. Nothing came of the idea and the Wheel was demolished in the 1950s. Armchair Bridge There are the remains of a dam between Highcliffe Road and Whiteley Wood Road and the main path follows the goit. This was the site of the Leather Wheel, built in 1754 and shortly afterwards incorporated into the works of Thomas Boulsover. Sometimes alternatively known as the Nether Wheel, it ceased operating around 1900 and was demolished in 1907. A bridge, stone-built with seating niches and ornamental copings, across the Porter on Whiteley Wood Road, is known as the ‘armchair bridge’. Photos from the early 20th century show the sides of the bridge as being made of wooden lattices. These have now been replaced with stone.

  • Documents | Friends of the Porter Valley

    The legal documents of the Friends of the Porter Valley in Sheffield. Documentos Nossas políticas e constituição estão listadas aqui e podem ser baixadas para você ler. Constitution Privacy Safety Safeguarding Volunteers Conflict of Interest Finance Complaints Bingham Park Sub Group Insurance - PLI As a registered charity we are required to hold Public Liability Insurance. It provides cover for slips, trips and falls, and injuries suffered by third parties as well as claims made against us for accidental damage caused to someone else's property. The 'blame and claim' culture combined with tough economic times has seen the number of claims (genuine and 'speculative') rise at a fast pace and for many years our trustees have elected to have public liability insurance to protect themselves and the Friends of the Porter Valley against allegations of negligence, including any legal fees or expenses should a case need to be defended in court. Volunteers Importantly however, the cover we have with our insurer also covers our volunteers whilst taking part in any of our organised activities, irrespective of their membership status.

  • Planning Consultations and Applications | Friends of the Porter Valley

    Details how Sheffield City Council involve FoPV in consultations, and the FoPV policy on getting involved with planning applications within the valley. Consultas de planejamento A Câmara Municipal de Sheffield contata regularmente o FoPV sobre os trabalhos planejados dentro do vale. Eles também nos fornecem vários documentos para algumas das obras que explicam seus planos e quais trabalhos devem ser realizados. Sempre que possível, fornecemos links para esses documentos para sua informação. Planning Applications We sometimes receive requests from members, and non members, asking us to support them in objecting to local planning applications. FoPV doesn’t usually raise objections unless the proposal will damage special landscapes (for example the Mayfield Valley). We are an environmental charity and Trustees are very careful not to make assumptions about what 800+ members might think about specific developments around and outside the perimeter of this large and very varied parkland. Some members might take the view that specific applications seem to be a reasonable proposal in the light of recent similar planning applications in a particular area. We do however have people on the committe who take an interest in planning applications and developments within the valley, or at least the section we refer to as 'our patch'. These are discussed at committee meetings and where we feel it is necessary we encourage our members to consider adding their voice via the Sheffield C ouncil Planning Portal .

  • About Us | Friends of the Porter Valley

    About the Friends of the Porter Valley in Sheffield. Sobre Amigos do Vale do Porter Visão Nossa visão é conservar, proteger e restaurar a ecologia, a paisagem e o patrimônio cultural dos Vales de Porter e Mayfield para o desfrute de todos e o benefício das gerações futuras. Conheça o time A geografia e a natureza do vale O Porter Brook sobe em os pântanos acima de Sheffield e flui 10 km para leste no coração da cidade. Seu vale forma um corredor verde natural que leva aos pântanos abertos do Peak District Parque Nacional e as habitações geminadas e estradas congestionadas ao redor de Hunters Bar. No curso de sua descida, o Porter cai cerca de 340 metros através de uma paisagem em constante mudança. Ele liga o abruptamente vale inciso e arborizado de Porter Clough para uma paisagem mais suave e cultivada de encostas verdes com pastagens tradicionais e construções de pedra. Isso então passa pelos vestígios arqueológicos do nosso antigo património industrial (represas, lagos de moinhos, canais de moinhos e barragens) e para mais antigos e matas semi-naturais. Desce para a área recreativa e ornamental parques em Bingham e Endcliffe que foram criados para fins sociais em o século 19. O córrego então entra em bueiros subterrâneos ao longo da Ecclesall Road e flui para o leste passando pelo Cemitério Geral em Sheffield City Center para se juntar ao rio Sheaf abaixo da estação ferroviária. O “Amigos do Vale do Porter” foi criado em 1994 para preservar e valorizar as características naturais e históricas do Porter Valley para benefício público. Aspectos ecológicos Cerca de 5 km da fundo do vale e o curso superior de seu afluente, o Riacho de Maio, foram designados “Áreas de Interesse de História Natural” no Desenvolvimento Urbano Plan (UDP) porque o vale contém um capital ecológico considerável. Botanicamente, essas comunidades compreendem vários blocos de bosques de carvalhos antigos com exibições espetaculares de flores da primavera e fungos do outono; matagal semi-natural, ribeirinha e lagoa habitats; 'flushes' úmidos à beira do vale contendo espécies raras; prados velhos ricos em flores de um tipo que estão desaparecendo rapidamente do campo e pastagens ácidas que no outono são brilhantes com cogumelos venenosos. A sequência de lagoas conhecidas localmente como “barragens” também contribui significativamente para a ecologia do vale, embora estejam em mau estado de conservação com vários vazando e todos ficando assoreados. Os cursos de água suportam uma fauna abundante de patos reprodutores, mergulhões, maçaricos, garças, lagostins e outros invertebrados de água doce, enquanto os prados e as sebes albergam muitas espécies de borboletas e mariposas. As árvores sustentam muitos pássaros, incluindo visitantes de verão, como a toutinegra do salgueiro e o joio, e durante todo o ano familiares como dois tipos de pica-pau, trepadeiras, trepadeiras, chapins e corvids, incluindo uma colônia de longa data em Forge Dam. Os mamíferos incluem várias espécies de morcegos que sobrevoam as barragens, raposas, ratazanas de água e várias comunidades de texugos. Ao identificar e gerenciar adequadamente as partes do vale que desempenham um papel fundamental no fornecimento dessa biodiversidade, gostaríamos de garantir que os usuários de todos os trechos do Porter Valley continuem a encontrar uma gama memorável da vida selvagem. Isso inclui áreas distantes do fundo do vale que podem ser acessadas pela rede de trilhas e ruas tranquilas. Amenity and recreational value Urban parks were created throughout Britain in the 19th century as a response to the often appalling urban environment brought about by industrialisation and rapid population growth. They are still a vital amenity in our 21st century lives. The whole Porter Valley, except for Endcliffe Park, lies entirely within the Green Belt. It also forms a significant part of the Sheffield Round Walk and a Strategic Cycle Route out to the Peak District. Because the valley provides a direct link between the city and the countryside it is used extensively by people from all over the city and beyond. Its accessibility and unique atmosphere appeal particularly to the communities along its flanks, to Sheffield schools, ramblers, cyclists, and nature lovers. There are several frequently used access points from the roads and footpaths that border on, or run across, the Porter. Half a million people may use the Valley every year; and over 30% come from parts of Sheffield other than the nearby relatively affluent wards of Broomhill, Hallam, and Ecclesall. Archaeological Aspects Man has inhabited this Valley since Palaeolithic times but the most obvious evidence of human impact is the sequence of dams. In the 18th century the Porter Brook was one of Sheffield’s intensively used industrial streams and drove 20 mills mostly for the manufacture of cutlery, hand tools and other metal products. All but 6 of the original 20 millponds have disappeared over the years as their original industrial use declined and the valley became a focus for leisure. What remains is an attractive linear amenity and wildlife habitat studded with features of exceptional historic interest. The dams provide a compelling thread of interest to the linear valley walk. Unusual features are that the mills were constructed for the metal (e.g. cutlery) trades and not preceded by corn mills. Forge Dam impounds the full flow of the stream, whereas all other dams use the by-pass system. Wire Mill once had the largest diameter wheel in Sheffield. Many of the remaining monuments and buildings in the valley have listed Grade II status and Shepherd Wheel, a water-powered grinding hull and dam, is a scheduled Ancient Monument. A conservation area encompasses Fulwood Chapel, Forge Dam and Wire Mill Dam. The UDC map also shows an “Area of Special Character” on the northern slopes of the valley from Harrison Lane down into the brook bottom. In 2001 Endcliffe Park was included in the South Yorkshire county volume of English Heritage’s Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest as a grade II site. The whole Valley was given grade II listing by English Heritage in 2002 in recognition of its unique mosaic of features. It is a landscape that has appealed to English Heritage’s interest in “the engine room” of our 18th and 19th century heritage. Neil Cossons, a former President of English Heritage, recognised the importance of the national heritage of waterways, mills, and workers’ cottages. The Porter Valley retains examples of this heritage. The Porter Valley is also recognised as linear parkland of particular and historic interest. Patrick Abercrombie’s 1924 civic survey for Sheffield City Council describes the Porter Valley as follows “The Porter Brook Parkway, consisting as it does of a string of contiguous open spaces, is the finest example to be found in this country of a radial park strip, an elongated open space, leading from a built–up part of the city direct into the country, the land occupied being a river valley and so for the greater part unsuitable for building. As compared with the finite quality of an ornamental park of more or less square shape, there is a feeling of movement in a continuous park strip …….the human being ….is lead onwards until the open countryside is reached.“ Trustees FoPV is run by volunteer trustees who give their time and efforts to the above.
