Sheffield grew rapidly during the Industrial Revolution, becoming one of the largest cities in the country by the nineteenth century. It was best known for its cutlery industry, producing stainless steel locally, and its steel and coal industries played a vital role in the war effort in the Second World War, leading to the city being targeted by German aerial bombardment. Despite the industrialisation, Sheffield has more green spaces than most cities in Britain and more trees per head of population than any other city in Europe. Lying on the edge of the Peak District, many streets climb into the hills with views beyond the city boundaries.
Drawing on archive material as well as his own extensive local knowledge, Robert Nicholls presents a fresh look at Sheffield, delving into lesser-known but fascinating tales from the city’s past. Quirky Sheffield celebrates the city’s unusual and often strange history and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Sheffield will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the city’s quirky history.
