Everything about The River Sheaf totally explained
The
River Sheaf is a river in
Sheffield,
South Yorkshire,
England. Its source is the union of the
Totley Brook and the
Old Hay Brook in
Totley, now a suburb of Sheffield. It flows northwards, past
Dore, through the valley called
Abbeydale (so named because of
Beauchief Abbey, which overlooks it) and north of
Heeley. It then passes into a
culvert, through which if flows under the centre of Sheffield emerging from time to time until joining the
River Don near
Blonk Street Bridge. This lower section of the River Sheaf together with the River Don, between the present Blonk Street and
Lady's Bridges, formed two sides of the boundary of
Sheffield Castle.
Until the 17th century the name
Sheaf was written as
Scheth or
Sheath. Sidney Oldall Addy equates the origins of this word with the
Old English shed (as in
water-shed) or
sheth, which mean to divide, or separate.
