Shepherd Wheel, Industrial heritage museum in Sheffield, England.
The Shepherd Wheel museum contains a water-powered grinding workshop with an 18-foot diameter wheel operated by water from the Porter Brook.
The site dates back to 1584 when William Beighton mentioned the wheel in his will, making it one of the oldest grinding workshops in Sheffield.
The museum represents Sheffield's industrial past through displays of grinding equipment and tools used in the local cutlery manufacturing tradition.
The museum opens every Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00, offering visitors demonstrations of the working water wheel and grinding machinery.
The Grade II listed building features two grinding hulls with multiple large grinding wheels powered by water diverted through a system of dams.
