Is Sheffield Beyond Recovery?

[Your Old Comrade]

This video has brought me to Sheffield, the steel city. I’ve been told by loads of you that the high street is struggling so I was keen to get across and have a look. I was also excited to delve into the history of steel, and see its evolution which has played such a strong part in the fabric of the modern world.

There seems to be so much redevelopment happening all over the city so it will be interesting g to revisit at a later date, as I’ve never seen that much work being done anywhere. Lots of demolition planned and I can only hope they protect a lot of the important landmarks that do remain.

But ultimately, I was buzzing to see so many independents surviving. Sheffield definitely was up there with the most friendly of places I’ve been, everyone was up for a chat and sharing there story.

Until next time,

W.T

Sheffield is far from being the poorest city in the North or Midlands. The Indices of Deprivation published every few years by the government usually ranks it as less deprived than Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Leicester, Birmingham and Wolverhampton.
