Two young men opposite me on the tram recently were having a conversation. “If tha wants to tell 'er, thee tell ,er, but doant get me involved”. “Doant thee werry, ah've plenty to say to 'er bi missen, ah doant need thee”. This is perfect Sheffield, grammatically correct and still following the speech patterns dating back many years. These men did not expect to be laughed at or mocked, they were in serious conversation. Many books have been written as sources of amusement and claiming to plot the Sheffield dialect. I hope that by referring to this book the reader will learn to appreciate and enjoy the richness of a fading heritage.

Where t' watter run o'er t' weir is a history of Sheffield's Water Mills from their origins in medieval times to thier gradual demise after the industrial revolution. As testament to the early grinding mills, the victorious Earl of Richmond's(later King Henry VII) followers at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 used arrows made in Sheffield, which were 'longer, sharper, better ground and more polished'.
