When no timetabled trains are running – sorry, both Steamworks! and the locomotive shed will be closed. All the playgrounds in Sheffield's parks and open spaces are inspected on a daily, quarterly and annual basis: Normal admission applies when you pre-book your visit. Members come free but must still pre-book their visit between 12 Sep and 20 Nov, or we may not be able to guarantee entry. Please bring your membership card with you. Non-members will need to pay when booking. There is no additional charge for parking. The gardens originally formed part of the estate of the adjacent Sheffield Park House, a gothic country house, which has remained in private ownership since the 1953 sale of the estate. [9] Marked parking bays near the coach parking area, close to the main station entrance are reserved for wheelchair passengers. Suitable toilet facilities are available on the ground floor in the Bessemer Arms restaurant building. Ramped access and paved gangways can be found within the SteamWorks! for viewing the locomotives. The shop on platform 1 and the museum on platform 2 are both accessible, as is the bar on the ground floor of the Bessemer Arms, where a full meal service is normally available. A stair lift is available to use for access to the Birch Grove Suite above the Bessemer Arms, unfortunately, there is no lift.

Sheffield Park and Garden is an informal landscape garden five miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex, England. It was originally laid out in the 18th century by Capability Brown, and further developed as a woodland garden in the early 20th century by its then owner, Arthur Gilstrap Soames. It is now owned by the National Trust. a b "Holroyd, John Baker, first earl of Sheffield (1735–1821), politician". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (onlineed.).

The estate was used for exterior shooting in the 1961 film, The Innocents, where it served as the Gothic Bly Manor, the setting of the Henry James novella, The Turn of the Screw. [13] See also [ edit ]The impact of the presence of the military on the estate was significant, and although Soames attempted restoration work in the post-war period, he ultimately sold the estate to a property company in 1953.

You’ll also be able to get up close to our collection of over 30 locomotives and see the working yard where engines are prepared in the mornings. The star of the show is an interactive model of a locomotive. Based on our very own Terrier Class locomotive ‘Stepney’ (as featured in the Thomas the Tank Engine book series), this special ‘engine’ features a display showing how the engine’s boiler works, and, as an added bonus, a special driving experience simulator in the cab enables you to experience what it’s like to drive Stepney on the Bluebell Railway! Disabled toilet and baby changing facilities are available on platform 1, in the Bessemer Arms or on platform 2 next to the museum. We like to pair a trip to Sheffield Park with a trip to Latchett’s Farm which is a short 5-minute drive down the road, for an ice cream from their ice cream parlour.According to the Sussex Express, by 1885 the area to the north of the lower lake was being remodelled with the inclusion of exotic and native trees.
