“An ode to the long lost  bodgers, coppice workers and steel workers of the Rivelin Valley.” (J. T. Thomson.) This upstream-facing fantasy chair of iron is situated on all that remains of the New Dam weir in the middle of the River Rivelin. It was created in 2011 by Sheffield artist Jason Turpin Thomson as part of the Second Nature project, which aimed to promote natural play in Sheffield’s woodlands. The New Dam, built in the 1850s, was the last mill dam to be constructed in the Rivelin Valley and because it was built for the sole purpose of increasing the water supply to Spooners Wheel (the next one downstream) it had no water wheel or associated workshops.
