Site
name: More Hall Tip Zone:
Industrial Zone Land
owner: Wharncliffe Estates? - currently leased
by Corus Engineering Steels Date
of survey: 14-Mar-00 Current
management: None known, but possibly some weed
control in tree planting areas. Proposed
management: Has much potential for a range of
landscape improvements, but methane monitoring is
still being carried out on the site - probably
unsuitable for food growing
projects. SK29309725 Date

ideas and possibilities outlined below are designed to help
members of the local community as they think about what
could happen on this site. Nothing is fixed and alternative
solutions may well emerge over
the coming
decade - it is for the local community to decide and enable
it to happen. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Visual
Attributes - update 2004 This
large man-made site is situated at the base of the
river valley, to the east side of the River Don; it
comprises scrub, grass, and planted woodland. There
is a large area of wet woodland in the northwest
area of the site, which contains many streams and
ponds. The former route of a railway line runs
along the east side and is overlooked by
Wharncliffe Woods. Manchester Road runs parallel to
the river, above the site to the west. It is a
quiet area away from the housing districts of
Stocksbridge and Deepcar, and its scale, position
and interesting topography give it much potential
for public use. 6. Safety The
site, which contains and is surrounded by woodland,
is sheltered and enclosed. It could feel
foreboding, especially after dark, if it were
opened up to the public. However, this is no
different from any other wooded place in the area
and its tranquillity would provide a very pleasant
environment for local people to use. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
site is used for the tipping of industrial waste.
7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Activities
that could be supported in the
future The
site has enormous potential for large-scale public
use. It could be made into a wooded park, with
walking, cycling, and horse riding routes and
include provision for adventurous play. Ecology
