Sheffield's story is one of fierce independence and a revolutionary
spirit, its industrial origins having their roots in the same
forests as the legends of Robin Hood. From Huntsman's crucible
steel in the eighteenth century, to Brearley's stainless steel in
the twentieth, Sheffield forged the very fabric of the modern
world. As the industrial age drew to a close the city's reputation
for rebelliousness spawned its popular reputation as capital of the
'People's Republic of South Yorkshire'. Yet in the wake of the
Miners' Strike and the Hillsborough Disaster, the early
twenty-first century has seen Sheffield retain its unique character
while reinventing itself as a centre of education, creativity and
innovation.
