Sheffield: Wicker
Introduction
The photograph on this page of Sheffield: Wicker by Chris Downer as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The new by-pass route has now been completed and traffic crosses the Wicker on through journeys. Previously, the Wicker itself had been a main route and was often very congested. The Wicker Arches, carrying the old railway across, can be seen in the distance.
