====Ball Street Bridge====
[[File:Sheffield - Ball Street Bridge over River Don.jpg|thumb|top|left|Ball Street Bridge]] This road bridge carries Ball Street over the River Don. The original footbridge at this point was destroyed in the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864. Samuel Harrison writes: "The Ball Street foot bridge, adjoining Mr. Mills's tannery, was destroyed. Although it was constructed of iron, it was torn down by the force of the water, and bent about as though it were only a piece of pasteboard. A large portion of it might be seen long afterwards lying in the river in a sloping position, and not entirely disconnected from its original position at one end."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mick-armitage.staff.shef.ac.uk/sheffield/photogal/picflud8.html|title=Great Sheffield Flood Pictures (8)|publisher=Sheffield University|access-date=29 November 2010}}</ref> It was rebuilt in 1865, with three cast-iron spans which were manufactured at the Milton Iron Works in [[Elsecar]]. It features pierced Gothic parapets.<ref>{{harvnb |Harman |2004 |p=170}}</ref> The spans are carried on stone piers, and the bridge was widened in 1900.<ref>{{NHLE |num=1246509 |desc=Ball Street bridge |access-date=19 July 2013}}</ref> Kelham Weir (also known as Ball Street Weir) is just downstream of the bridge.
