Description
Steel City: An Illustrated History of Sheffield's Industry Sheffield has long been renowned for its manufacturing prowess, earning it the nickname 'steel city'. This reputation was built on innovations in steel manufacture and processing, as well as the production of high-quality cutlery. However, the story of Sheffield industry is more complex than just these two industries. From the Roman Empire's largest grindstone manufacturing site at Wharncliffe Crags to later developments in glass making, brewing, refractory products, power generation, and joinery, Sheffield's industrial heritage is rich and varied. The city's unique location made it an attractive place for various industries to set up shop, with quarried stone being a key factor in the production of many goods. With its wealth of illustrations and accessible style, this book offers a fascinating overview of one of Britain's great industrial centres.
