Kelham Island Quarter, Industrial heritage district in Sheffield, England

The Kelham Island Quarter combines restored red-brick factories, modern residential buildings, and warehouses along the River Don in northern Sheffield.

Created in the 1100s through damming of the River Don, this area became a center of steel production during the Industrial Revolution of the 1800s.

The Kelham Island Museum presents exhibitions about steel manufacturing, featuring the largest working steam engine remaining in Europe.

The district contains numerous independent restaurants, craft beer pubs, and art galleries, all within walking distance of Sheffield city center.

Former metalworking facilities and industrial structures now function as residential spaces, maintaining their original architectural elements from the Victorian period.
