Limb Brook or Fenny Brook

Limb Brook where it passes through Barber Fields. Sidney Addy, in his 1888 book on the Sheffield dialect states that, "A stream called, on the ordnance survey map, Fenny Brook," flowed here. The modern OS map now shows this as Limb Brook. Although this area is now farmland there is historical evidence that a shallow coal drift-mine served by a short railway once existed in these fields. All that remains of this industry is a spoil-tip on the North bank of the brook.
