	Hemlock Gorge: A Walking Tour by Ken Newcomb
		The seventh and largest arch, which spans the river is said to be the second in size on this continent and one of the largest stone arches in the world.
		The keystone is five feet in depth with the archstones increasing to six feet at the base forming a very heavy arch, and the pressure upon the foundation is about 2,900 tons, or about 16½, tons to the square foot.
		The timber framework upon which the arch was built rested upon five points of support in the bed of the river and demanded about 110,000 feet of spruce, oak, and hard pine timber in its construction.

	Greenspace in Sheffield
		The valleys to the west are deeply incised and create very special enclosed landscapes, allowing the urban dwellers to experience almost wilderness landscape on their walks near their homes.
		It was only in the early 1800s that industry moved out of the valleys into the centre of the then market town of Sheffield and then, as steam power allowed, the large factories were built along the river Don on the flat land to the east of the City centre.
		In recent decades a successful attempt has been made to open up a walkway through the lower part of the Don Valley; the five weirs walk and the Canal Walk now add to the range of recreational walks available in the City.
