The Cholera Monument commemorates the 402 Sheffield people who died in the epidemic of 1832 and who were buried on this hillside, among them the Master Cutler John Blake.

Set in Clay Wood and reached by a short steep climb from the station or Norfolk Road, it gives one of the best free views across the city centre rooftops.
