Rivelin Valley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rivelin Valley is a woodland valley in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The River Rivelin runs through the valley. Rivelin possesses many ponds, testament to the twenty mills which were once present on the river. Famous mills are the Hind Wheel and the Rivelin Corn Mill, the former dating from 1581 and the latter, 1600. The most well known, Mousehole Forge at Malin Bridge, produced the famous anvils. Some mills were in activity up until the 1950s.
As well as industrial heritage, the valley is home to much wildlife, now protected by the Rivelin Valley Conservation Group.
The upper part of the valley is flanked to the north by Rivelin Rocks
