About This Live Project

Working alongside Field Art, self proclaimed generalist Oliver Lowenstein and Sheffield City Council this is an exciting live project that combines research, engagement, design and potentially the building of a prototype for a eco-cycle stop as part of a feasibility for a redundant railway station building in Brightside, North Sheffield. – This is on the Sustrains Cycle Route and the project will frame and contextualise a Cycle Station and other facilities for Brightside.

Railway Paths are the owners of the site that is managed by the City Council. They are a company set up from British Rail Property - they own many of the closed railway lines often used for cycling and the Brightside Railway building. There are a number of interesting agendas for this project, which will also form a feasibility for a bigger project in the future.

Off to a good start....


Corrections already.... shocking, after initial research it would appear that Brightside Railway station has grown and been transported about two and a half miles down the road towards Meadowhall. The station which we have the pleasure of working on is in fact a double track derelict station near Shire Green, which was abandoned in 1953 called Grange Lane station, not the five track industrial behemoth situated on route to Meadowhall which was abandoned in the mid 90's, so apology's for the confusion.
