Wonder: Kelham Island, Sheffield

Kelham Island, a manmade landmass in the River Don, is one of Sheffield’s oldest manufacturing sites. Following industrial decline in the latter half of the 20th- century, the area became neglected, before its recent revival as a vibrant cultural hub and popular new urban neighbourhood.

The historic remains of numerous red brick cutlery and steelworks give the area a distinct character, enhanced by a number of old and new murals and graffiti art. Regeneration and evolution have occurred at a natural, steady pace on the island, with careful retention of heritage and a gradual reputational rise.

A range of art galleries and creative studios, shops, cafes and an indoor skate park also draw daytime visitors, and the area is fast becoming a popular tourist attraction, as well as a dynamic place to live.
