The city of Sheffield derives its name from the Sheaf. The main tributaries of the Sheaf are the Porter Brook and the Meers Brook . The river has been polluted upstream through centuries of industrial activity, including Iron and Steel working, and is only slowly recovering. The river used to provide the power for a number of metal works, an important surviving example of which is the Grade 1 Listed Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet . |
