Cholera Monument Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

matthewgibbs: I’m afraid it’s time for this one to go. I had confirmation from a friend it was missing, and when I came to replace today it was too busy in the area (and I visited twice). As the Sheffield office I regularly visited has closed, I won’t be around so much, so reluctantly have decided to archive this one. At least it frees up some space! Thanks to all visitors.

Geocache Description:


This is a small cache placed near the Cholera Monument in Sheffield. Cache placed with the kind permission of Sheffield City Council.

The Cholera Monument is a memorial to the 402 local people that lost their lives to the Cholera epidemic of 1832. Built in 1835, it is Grade II listed, and the surrounding grounds has been given a Green Flag Award. The grounds offer stunning views over central Sheffield and are well worth a visit.

The park has recently been extended via a green link to the Sheaf Valley Park / South Street Park for easier access via the train station. If you visit after dark, be careful! The grounds are reported to be haunted by the ghost of Spring-Heeled Jack, so be on your guard!

The grounds are easily accessible from the train station, just a short walk up a steep hill. Alternatively, on street parking is available on Norfolk Road, but you may have to pay and display.
