The museum displays nearly 1,500 historic objects, with the largest collection of trade union and other banners in the world."

"Kelham Island Museum - part of the Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust - focuses on exhibits related to Sheffield's industrial past, in particular steel and silverware from the past 300 years. Craftspeople can be seen at work in the Little Mesters workshop, while the museum's huge River Don steam engine, built in 1905 and used at one of the local steel mills, is regularly put through its paces. The museum also boasts an impressive collection of tools, along with historic vehicles."

The unusual Sheffield museums even most locals won't have visited
"A post shared by Amanda Hope-Appleby (@amandahopeappleby) on Sep 10, 2017 at 7:44am PDT. This beautiful heritage attraction is the last remains of what was once the Great Sheffield Deer Park. It is home to the ruins of a grand Tudor mansion (where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned for 14 years), a working farm, and 1940s cottages, which recreate life on the eve of the Sheffield Blitz."
