Sheffield & Tinsley Canal
The Sheffield & Tinsley Canal achieved fame in 1997 by starring in the opening scenes of the comedy film The Full Monty.
Opened in 1814 to carry boats between the navigable River Don and a new basin in the centre of Sheffield, the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal forms the first four miles of the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation. Today, Sheffield Canal Basin – or Victoria Quays – is an attractive urban destination boasting canalside eateries and a hotel.
