The lead ore was brought to the area around Dore, Totley and <a href="/wiki/Norton,_Sheffield" class="mw-redirect" title="Norton, Sheffield">Norton</a>, which was then in Derbyshire.

After the abbey was dissolved in the reign of <a href="/wiki/Henry_VIII" title="Henry VIII">Henry VIII</a>, it was used as a cutlers wheel.

After a brief spell as a <a href="/wiki/Paper_mill" title="Paper mill">paper mill</a> around 1826, it was occupied by Thomas Tyzack and Sons, who made saws. The site was sold to the <a href="/wiki/Midland_Railway" title="Midland Railway">Midland Railway</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Devonshire" title="Duke of Devonshire">Duke of Devonshire</a> in 1871 to enable the construction of Dore and Totley station, and the last mill buildings were taken down in 1890.<sup id="cite_ref-walk_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-walk-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Below Walk Mill, the Limb Brook flows in from the west. Whirlow Wheel was situated on the brook, and was used for milling corn between about 1586 until 1803, when a grinding wheel was added.

In 1855, these were supplemented by a steam engine, but the site declined after 1900. It was given to Sheffield Corporation in 1935 as an industrial museum, and only an active campaign by members of a local history group prevented its demolition.

In order to reduce flooding and pollution of the river when the sewerage system is overloaded by heavy rainfall, Yorkshire Water excavated the park in 2004/5 to construct a tank capable of holding 10,000 cubic metres (350,000 cu ft) of storm water. The decision to build a tank rather than a vertical shaft was made after test boreholes found hard rock and high groundwater pressure in the area. The project cost £7.5 million, and included three more conventional shafts further down the river, which provide an additional 3,175 cubic metres (112,100 cu ft) of storage.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Little London wheel was used for the cutlery trade from the earliest known records in 1720. By 1814 it was described as a grinding and plating forge, and later was used for the production of scythes. When the railway was constructed, it crossed part of the dam, which was reduced in size by one eighth. By 1912, the water wheels had been modernised and there were two tilt hammers in operation. The owners moved their scythe production from Abbeydale Works to Little London on 1935, and the tilt hammers continued to be water-powered until the mid-1950s.

The Midland Railway bought the water rights to allow them to build their station over the river. The site of Pond Tilt is now occupied by the station forecourt, and the goods yard covered its dam. The owners of Pond Forge vacated their site soon after the station was built, but attempted to get compensation for loss of water power as a result of the work.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBallCrossleyFlavell2006185–190_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBallCrossleyFlavell2006185–190-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At Granville Square, a large screen prevents debris from entering the culverts.

instance the section of culverted river which runs between Ponds Forge leisure centre and Sheaf Street</li> <li>Daylighting – whilst removal of the culverts under the railway tracks of Midland Station is probably unrealistic the potential of sinking light‐pipes into the dark tunnels to allow fish and animal passage could be considered as part of the environmental mitigation of the scheme c) Improved public access to existing open channel sections and newly deculverted ones including access for fishing, kayaking and stewardship e.g. Pond Hill, Sheaf Gardens, Cutlers Walk, the Primrose
