See how Sheffield made its steel, from little workshops to the River Don Engine, a colossal steam engine that still thunders into life.

Why it's a good date: Time it for the engine running in steam and feel the floor shake. It's free to get in, and the pubs of Kelham Island are on the doorstep for afterwards.
