The history of Owlthorpe appears in the 1086 Doomsday Book. Sickles & Scythes were manufactured to support the farming industry. Water was pumped from the mines into the Ochre Dyke. With 12,243 trees & hedgerow plants planted also 64,000 bulbs & 1,500 square meters of wildflower seed sown our oasis is a wild life sanctuary. The map shows Hedgerows / Ditches + Grassland of high environmental value. For mor information, please visit our website: http://ecological-owlthorpe.org Surely it is difficult to understand why Sheffield (LPA) wish to destroy our open space, used and loved by the local community.
(Plot (F) is situated opposite ( https://birleymoor.co.uk/ and Diamond Cottages.) If allowed to proceed this project would completely destroy the Owlthorpe Grassland Grazing Project which is a major component of the award winning Owlthorpe Heritage & Nature Trail a rural Oasis in the urban south east of Sheffield. The trail was opened with an official event on March 16th 2012 by children from three local primary schools assisted by David Caufield - Sheffield City Council Officer, Clive Betts MP for Sheffield South East and Sheffield City Council Officer Helen Merfin-Boukouris.
