There is a plaque on a seat at the corner of Cowlishaw Road and Sharrowvale Road which is dedicated to a Peter Wigley b1948, died 1996. I am pretty sure this is not THE Peter Wigley, publicity officer to the City Council, who I would have thought was a bit older than that. But searches on the Forums don't say anything more about that Peter other than his relationship with the film "City on the move". Can anyone enlighten me? One and the same or not?

Reference here to a Peter Wigley, owner of a restaurant on Sharrow Vale Road. Sounds very likely to be him given the location: https://dawesindoors.wordpress.com/2020/05/05/back-to-1990-how-we-ate-then/

Following Jean Cass's excellent history of the Rivelin Tunnel, published here in August 2010, hildweller posted a comment and a photo of the tunnel exit. His last two sentences referred to the tunnel’s entrance, somewhere in the wood behind the Ladybower Fisheries Office.He wrote “Has anyone ever seen this portal I wonder. I’m afraid exploring up there is beyond me nowadays.” Please see the attached photo, taken from the woods behind the Fisheries. I was surprised to find that the Rivelin junction is open to the elements, outside the Valve House. The flow from right to left is the gravity fed flow from Derwent to Bamford filters. The flow towards the bottom right of the photo is Sheffield’s supply, about to enter the Rivelin Tunnel.

Hi Stu, I've sent you this separate message because there is absolutely heaps of stuff on the Namarian (Millstone Grit) and Westphalian (Coal Measures). I'm not sure what you already know so I'm guessing and I don't want to repeat myself. If you want to contact me about Sheffield Rock please feel free - pmworrall8@gmail.com Cheers, Paul 'Wazzie' Worrall

The drainpipe at the side of the signs was fitted by me when I was an apprentice plumber in 1959.
