A decision to help secure the future of a key piece of Yorkshire’s industrial heritage has been made by Sheffield councillors.
Members of the council’s charity trustee sub-committee agreed to grant a 25-year lease for Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet to Sheffield Museums Trust. The committee acts as charity trustee for the buildings and surrounding land on behalf of the council. A report to the committee, which met on Thursday , said a 25-year lease is needed so the museums trust can pursue funding to improve the overall offer to visitors and boost the hamlet as a tourist destination.
The decision to grant a 25-year lease to an activity hub and tennis courts operator in city parks has been criticised as ‘privatisation’ by Graves and Hillsborough Park Friends groups, a position the council rejects. Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet is a preserved scythe and steelworks dating back to the 1700s, sited near Millhouses Park and Ecclesall Woods.
