An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment of Land at Kelham Island

Zhen Yan

Abstract


One desk-based assessment is based on a study conducted on Kelham Island. Sheffi eld Council was set up in the early 1980s to protect and develop the area, with a plan to make Keller Island an attractive place to live, a place with easy access to business and a good ecosystem. It sets out the goals of renewal and explains many areas that can be improved,restored and regenerated.
Kelham Island began as an industrial area with very few residential areas, and is now mainly inhabited by students and some middle-income professionals, so Kelham Island as the center, you can see the surrounding residential center forms a sharp contrast, as most of the surrounding areas are poor areas, such as Netherthorpe Burngreave, Hillsborough and Park Hill. Therefore, it is of great signifi cance to study the development of Kelham Island.
