Before the Industrial Revolution, Salmon Pastures in Sheffield was a pristine, rural paradise. Located along a clear, unpolluted River Don, this peaceful area featured shallow, gravelly riverbeds that formed the perfect natural spawning grounds for Atlantic salmon. Every autumn, massive shoals of fish leaped upstream to breed, making the river one of England's finest fisheries. Salmon were so abundant that they became a cheap, reliable food staple for local people and supported a thriving fishing trade. At this time, the pastures were a lush, undisturbed wetland ecosystem, completely unmarred by the heavy factories and weirs that would later alter the landscape forever.
