Walking Down Sheffield's River Porter

One of Sheffield's most picturesque rivers, full of industrial history and a working water wheel and grinding wheel workshop. The video starts at the rivers source high on the hills above Sheffield, then follows the river through Porter Clough, Forge Dam, Wiremill and the working Shepherd Wheel to Nethergreen.
Part 2 which will follow soon follows the river through a series of culverts under the streets of Sheffield, where it meets the river Sheaf under Platform 5 at Sheffields Midland Railway Station

Great walk, great views. 👍 excellent vid. 👍 crack on 👍. Tks for sharing.

Hi a lovely walk the porter valley, thanks for watching Pat

[@georgegunn9387]

Excellent film...so much history and information...well done Pat!

[@simontaylor3394]

Love this video. We live at millhouses and have spent so much time in this valley... great to see the history that's there as well as the beauty. Maybe Sheffield council should use it to sell the city !

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Simon yes like you I spend a lot of time in the Porter brook area, such a nice place to walk. I ,am not far from you as I live at Ecclesall, you may bump into me one day, all the best Pat

[@dpricedp1]

Patrick I originally subscribed for your wildcamping videos, but the this and the last one about Haddon Hall Tunnel have been incredibly entertaining and inspiring. Brilliant, thanks for sharing.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi David sometimes feel I should be putting more wild camp videos on but my interest can shoot off at a tangent sometimes. Read about the history of the river which I have known all my life and felt I just had to explore and film it. The part 2 should be very entertaining, thanks for comments much appreciated, all the best Pat

[@spencerdodds2207]

Brilliant video Patrick! Very informative, I can't wait for the next one!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Spencer, yes there is so much history around the river Porter and such a nice walk as well, the next part will be out of this world, all the best Pat

patrick this was an amazing insight into the underworld of Sheffield. it was well presented educational and a pleasure to watch . keep up the great work stay safe down in those bowels of the earth . looking forward to many more

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Andrew the area has such a lot of history and I was also brought up in the area, It was a bit like going down memory lane. The river also started it underground journey here which will be interesting to follow, thanks for comments and watching Pat

[@martinsefelin4479]

Hi Patrick, thank you for this inspiring video! We walked it yesterday and we had splendid time! Definitely gonna do it again too!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Martin Sefelin Hi Martin yes the Porter valley is such a nice walk so much history to see, beautiful countryside and Forge Dam cafe, we were not far away on Boxing day at Norfolk Arms pub, wishing you all the best for 2018 Pat

[@lancemumford3106]

I just happened upon this video, and enjoyed it very much. The obscure history lesson would go untold if not for you bringing it to life. I look forward to the next video. Thanks, Patrick

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Lance yes this was my first journey into underground Sheffield and what a amazing place, so much history hidden from view, thanks for the comments Pat

[@StevenMannSlioch]

Very slick and professional. I was particularly interested in the bit about Thomas Bolsover, as coincidentally, I have been teaching about electroplating today. I moved to Scotland as I love wild places, but this is very much a reminder of the beauty, interest and adventure that can be found while exploring a more industrialised area.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Steve its the industrial history that attracted me to the river Porter, I was looking at the history of some pubs near the river then got sidetracked and found such a lot of history on a river I had known all my life. From that I thought I had to film its entire length, hopefully part 2 out on KZbin this Sun/Mon, all the best Pat

[@snacklofter]

Really enjoyed this.Thank you.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

snacklofter hi great walk and first introduction to some amazing underground culverts, all the best Pat

[@pamwhiteeagle9818]

thank you Patrick for your very interesting and informative trips that you are so good to take us. the dangers of some of these trips are not lost on me. please take care again thank you pam from the usa, idaho

[@patrickdickinson6492]

pam white eagle Nice to hear from you Pam, some of the trips look risky but I do sort of risk assessment them and feel quite happy, I sort of enjoy the risky part, makes the trip more of a adventure, thanks for watching Pat

[@Roolooth]

Pat that was a good exploration and adventure in both part 1 and 2, I cant help but feel you'd have been an excellent leader on the escape committee at Colditz, you'd have found a way out no problem. Once again the light painting method turned out some very good results.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi and I used to love Colditz on the TV, years ago I read all the WW2 escape stories, and for a film you can .t beat the Great Escape, perhaps I was born at the wrong time. Being on a escape committee would of been great, although I would not of been in the post long I would be up and over the wire in no time. Thanks for your interesting comments, all the best Pat

[@joeysane416]

Great video! I enjoy all the information and detail!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Joey, beautiful area to walk through, thanks Pat

[@ercieyyy]

I've met your channel for the first time and found it very useful , I think you're worth over that number of subs and hope you keep uploading your videos regularly .

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Ercan, thanks for kind comments, have a few ideas for wildcamps and different videos for 2017, will always put wildcamps on but have many other interest so you will see some different videos every so often, thanks and all the best Pat

[@tr1ckysadventures836]

pat loved the video cannot wait for the next instalment

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi and thanks for watching, such a lot of history in a small river, I just had to film it thanks again Pat

[@bababooey7576]

Your videos are fantastic and all your hard work is greatly appreciated by the armchair explorers sitting at home in our warm and dry houses...the scenery is gorgeous and I love the underground culverts no one sees.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks for that much appreciated, I love the areas I visit and filming my adventures just adds to it, thanks Pat

[@Tonyw55]

Hi there Patrick I like to say thank you for your video's of the river walk through Porter Clough, We have a lot of history around Sheffield, We lived on Little London Road the back to back house's were the B&M is now, been trying for some time now to find who built these homes and the history around this area, we used to go through a passage witch come out at a wooden bridge on to broadfield road were i played in the river, yours Tony

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Tony interesting all my family on my Dads side lived on Broadfield Park Road in the 1850 to 1900,s period, the signs of there foundations are still visible. There is a wooden bridge over the river at Saxon road next to the big electricity substation, I often walk over it on my way to the Crown pub on chesterfield Road. My next video will start on Broadfield Road as I intent to do a urban wildcamp. Thanks for comments very interesting all the best Pat

[@jorvikoutdoors]

Hi Patrick what a fantastic vid....filmed really well and full of interesting facts...carnt wait for pt2 atb Lee

[@SIMON2500065]

Bloody hell pat I lived in Riverdale Park flats on oakbrook road and the amount of times we went down that river on a raft brings back great memories mate so love this video ..!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Small world Simon, I was born at 146 Oakbrook Road, about ,200 meters down from Cruise Road, thanks Pat

[@SIMON2500065]

Funny I’m like you like to go for walk abouts on my own so totally get that as it’s great to feel the freedom of the outdoors. Well I moved from Riverdale Park Litton in the peaks in thr early 90

[@SIMON2500065]

Patrick Dickinson sorry about that it sent before I finished lol. Yeah moved to Litton in the peaks in the early 90s and had some great adventures out there. Not sure if you be done the valley or not but there are some great places to Camp down there and over Millers dale and Wardlow ..! Well look forward to your next venture mate and hopefully I will be out and about in the peaks very soon ..!

[@billyslittlebigadventurech9050]

Excellent Patrick. An history of Sheffield and how it became the steel city. I`m going to start calling you `Tony` because you remind me of Tony Robinson lol. Looking forward to your next video.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Billy, once I get a idea for a walk then I get absorbed in the history and surrounding areas, with the internet so much information available, part 2 will be totally different type of river walk, all the best Pat

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

I remember Forge Dam being like Wiremill dam. Don’t remember that island in the middle 😱😱😱 Brilliant video Patrick. Splendid 👍🏻

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Mark, I have lived and roamed about the river Porter all my life and still finding out new things about the history so felt I had to make a film about its entire length. Part 2 out next week, a true under the streets of Sheffield adventure, all the best Pat

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi and glad you like my videos, mostly wild camping but can go off on another interest anytime, your campervan conversion looks interesting, been meaning to do one of these for last 30 years if I ever will I don,t know, all the best Pat

[@VincentHardy-zt3nt]

Hi Pat, As mentioned before in a previous comment, Really enjoy watching your videos I think I’ve watched them all a few times especially when working nights! Absolutely love them, Will we see any more underground explorations? Truly amazing as are your photographs. Thanks for sharing your adventures look forward to hopefully seeing some more! Thanks.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Vincent I think it will be mostly camping in the future, basically no local tunnels left....looking forward to returning to the hills..... thanks Pat

[@dizzylizzy124]

This one was great but the next one sounds amazing can't wait for it.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi this was more of a intro to the main feature but felt I had to record all the river. Such a lot of history for a small river that help make Sheffield famous for steel, on with part 2 know if it will ever stop raining, all the best Pat

[@wildcamping1502]

absolutely superb walk and video Patrick and great camera work again well done, looking forward to the next one sounds even better, thanks for sharing.

Hi Les, one of my favorite walks the Porter valley, so much history, known the river all my life, thanks for watching Pat

[@christhornley1664]

Nice video Patrick, rivers always have a great tale to tell about our history. Your follow up video sounds like it'll be very interesting, I'm looking forward to watching that. Thanks Patrick.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Chris I git interested in the river which I have known all my life when I was trying to find information on the pubs in the area, from that I felt i just had to film the river a long its whole length, Part 2 is looking good, all the best Pat

[@Timmysminivanventures]

Great vid. I'm going here tomorrow pat. Many memories of going here with my mum and dad when I was a child :)

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Timmy, I have lived near the river all my life, first memory's was probably pushed round the area in my pram and 60 years later I ,am still tramping a long its many paths, hope you have a great day and it brings back happy memories, thanks Pat

Hi Tom, I agree walking beside a river always something to look at, what could be better, even got cafes and pubs along this one, thanks for comments all the best Pat

[@daveeboney7089]

Fantastic work pat....I find the thought of exploring culverts, underground rivers and forgotten out of view spaces very interesting but not fit enough to go exploring myself anymore.....the time you spent on the photography reels its own rewards with wonderful colours that show up as if they are glowing..........👍👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Dave, beautiful Valley this, such a lot of history as well, spent a lot of my childhood round here thanks for comments Pat

[@jzknuckles]

Hi Patrick, thanks for another great video. Your passion for local landscape and history is really contagious and the photography is lovely - you're one of my favourite KZbin video creators at the moment. Looking forward to following the river Porter further!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi I find once I start looking at a area on the computer I soon disappear down another avenue and another adventure, the next part of this river is out of this world, all the best Pat

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi David yes I think I have seen George Barnsley site on 28dayslater. there are a lot of places to explore in Sheffield, I prefer the drains culverts, Megatron must be one of Sheffield's greatest explores, its awesome . Thanks for comments and subbing all the best Pat

[@basedglennuk]

A lovely fresh Spring-day too, looking forward to the next episode!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Glenn yes its nice as Spring is just round the corner, you could see all the bulbs out and trees just coming into bud, won,t see much of that in part 2 as mostly underground !! all the best Pat

[@basedglennuk]

If you haven't already filmed it, Pat, watch yourself underground with all this rain of late!

[@RS.Outdoors]

Good stuff Pat and very interesting.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Where's part 2 Pat? Cant wait :) Yet again another excellent video. Thank You

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi finished filming Part 2 just got to edit it etc should have it on Sun or Mon ,amazing trip yo should enjoy it, thanks Pat

[@51StPi]

Smashing film, shame you did not film the slide at forge dam, I remember going down that after the rain and going off the end and landing in a puddle, pity that they have let the pond silt up.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes I remember hat slide myself and both my sons enjoyed sliding down it sat on there fleece jackets to go faster. Remember kayaking on Forge Dam when in Fulwood Scouts, happy days, Pat

[@glendunwell9689]

Another nice Video. Megatron? can't wait. Spoken about this over many years so crack on post production

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Glen, Megatron is a explore for later in the year, next video on the Porter hopefully will show what is the start of the Megatron. Unbelievable what is under your feet and has been there since 1860's, thanks Pat

[@glendunwell3545]

Ok, yes I know about it, seen a few photos of it but did wonder. Great video, I know a lot of time and effort go into them and I watch them a lot, Gail shouts down to me "You watching that Sheffield guy" I think were all anxious for Pt II. Keep up the good work

[@28YorkshireRose12]

Hi Pat, I've been watching your videos for a while now, quietly in the background, but at last I've reacquired my KZbin account, having ignored it for years. Your explores are just brilliant, I wish I could join you on some but alas, my loss of mobility puts paid to that idea. Did you notice ITV Calendar's little piece on the Porter, and the Sheaf? Even the Megatron got a mention. I thought of you then, and that you really should show them your videos. Who knows, you could be the next TV historian/explorer. Keep up the good work, and keep safe....... Keep the videos coming!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi and nice to hear from you, I,am sorry to hear abut your mobility but it will come to us all at sometime, glad you join me on my adventures via KZbin, all the best Pat

[@bababooey7576]

I'm always interested in where/how rivers begin. The little stream there at the beginning of the video, where and how does it start. is it a series of little tributaries , a spring, etc? I would love to go on an exploration with yourself...the knowledge and interest in this is right up my alley. cheers!

[@martinnash007]

Hi. Interesting video. What about the Snuff Mill and its dam. It would be interesting to have a look at that as its the last dam on the porter.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Great videos. I've put a link to this on the Friends of the Porter Valley FB page. I'd love to have a go at some of those culverts below Hunters Bar but not on my own??? Which Scout Group did you belong to?

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi mike and thanks for putting the link to Friends of porter valley FB, such an interesting river with all its history. I followed the river all the way to its meeting with the Sheaf under platform 5 at the railway station, from there you can follow the Sheaf for 1400m all the way under the city to the Don at Blonk street, my Megatron video will show you what a awesome piece of Victorian engineering this is. I was in Fulwood 142 Scouts 1966 to 1970, with David Nipper Hague and John hardy as leaders fantastic times and some great camps. I looked at your history of Fulwood Scouts and recognized myself and many of my friends of that era, I will put some comments on your video soon. We live over at Ecclesall both my sons were in Ecclesall 20 th scouts with Andrew Watson leader, hopefully they will have got a lot out of it for the future. Thanks again for your comments and watching Pat

[@jordanshaffer4908]

Wonderful video! I'm looking forward to part 2. What exactly was that feature on the side of the culvert? -Jordan

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Jordon the small land drain in the side of the culvert maybe water from the road above or a local spring flowing into the river. I will have a look up it one day, thanks Pat

[@patrickdickinson6492]

David Rose Hi David yes some right water would be flowing through, I heard Millhouses Park was near to flooding so much water after snow melted, " when it rains, don,t go in drains". Pat

[@BRM101]

May I ask what you film with Patrick and perhaps what you photograph with as well

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi mark to film and photograph I use a Sony A 37 DSLR, gives great video and photographs, only thing against it is the weight when lightweight camping. Another problem area is the audio, if you rely on the cameras mic then wind noise and background noise , picked up the sound of flowing water rather than my voice, so a remote microphone is useful, I ,am still working on it, hope helpful Pat

Hi Pat, Re: the cafe at Forge Dam. Not sure if you know, but the building of the cafe was apparently transported to its current site from Sharrow Vale area of the city (Wesleyan Reform Chapel) , where it was once a Chapel. Some said it came from Walkley in Sheffield. According to the previous proprietors of Forge Dam Cafe : "The current building reportedly used to be Walkley Methodist Hall and after dismantling, was brought down to Forge Dam on a horse and cart in the 1930s". www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/13152-old-sharrow-vale-chapel-now-at-forge-dam/
