Have a go and test your skills in The Works, an interactive area where history is hands-on and families can discover more about life and work at the site.
It may look quiet and peaceful now, but Abbeydale was once very busy. Hundreds of skilled people spent their working lives here. What jobs did people do? Could you do any of them? Come and find out!
Everything we do is made possible by you – please donate £5 to help safeguard and celebrate Sheffield’s rich, unique heritage
