Sheffield in Yorkshire is synonymous with steel-making and cutlery which was made here from the 13th century or earlier. The town saw massive growth in the 19th century as its heavy industry developed and the coming of the railway intensified the pace of change, transforming Sheffield in to the large city we know today. Paul Chrystal’s book is divided into sections looking at industry, pubs, social history, housing, cinemas, the Blitz, prominent buildings and a great deal more.
