Exploring the Rivlin Valley in Sheffield, I embarked on a unique adventure using a 200-year-old map to uncover the forgotten industrial history of the area. Blown by a gale and soaked by the rain, I discovered the remnants of over 20 mills and dams, from a corn mill to a anvil forge. This walk revealed a thriving, busy past that modern maps don't show, proving that the old ways sometimes reveal the greatest secrets. Join me as I hike through history, fact-check my discoveries, and even rate a classic biscuit on my dunking league table
