====Hillfoot Bridge==== [[File:Neepsend - Hillfoot Bridge.jpg|thumb|top|left|Hillfoot Bridge]] This bridge carries Neepsend Lane (B6074) over the River Don. On 11 March 1864, the previous wooden bridge was swept away by the [[Great Sheffield Flood]], caused by the collapse of [[Dale Dike Dam]].<ref name="FloodPics7">{{cite web|url=http://mick-armitage.staff.shef.ac.uk/sheffield/photogal/picflud7.html |title=Great Sheffield Flood Pictures (7) |publisher=Sheffield University |access-date=29 November 2010}}</ref> The bridge was replaced by a three-arched stone structure in 1885. Alterations made in 1912 included rounded approaches, and lighting was provided by cast-iron gas lamps, contributed by the Neepsend Gasworks, which was located nearby.<ref>{{NHLE |num=1271240 |desc=Hillfoot bridge |access-date=19 July 2013}}</ref>
