Sheffield History

 Sheffield has an interesting and varied history. People have lived here for over 12,800 years, Castle Market was established in 1296 and Sheffield was even cited by Geoffrey Chaucer for its production of knives in his book, The Canterbury Tales.

If you were to ask anybody about the things they associate with Sheffield history, they would probably say 'steel' or 'industry.' Sheffield was famous the world over for its steel industry and some of the books in this section go into a lot of detail about Sheffield during this industrial time.

Sheffield became a target for bombing raids during WW2 and more information can be found on this subject in out War and Military books section. This is because many of Sheffield's factories put their efforts into the manufacturing of weapons and ammunition.

This is a very brief history of Sheffield. To find out more, have a browse around and see if you can find a Sheffield history book that excites you...

A Photographic Journey down Ecclesall Road from Whirlow to Town
£ 9.99
Add to Cart

 This is an informative enjoyable record of Ecclesall Road. Its rich diversity is well covered and brings back happy memories of my youth - travelling along one of Sheffield’s finest roads. Certain stretches are still very recognizable but others near the city centre have changed dramatically. The book not only has many photos from the early 19th century but some as late as the 1980’s. It is lovely to be able to follow the route from Whirlow - seeing the changes along the way to the city centre. This excellently produced book with many unseen photographs will be enjoyed by many Sheffield people.

 Rony Robinson is the Voice of South Yorkshire.

He has done his daily BBC Radio Sheffield programme for twenty-six uninterrupted years.

But he has also been a sex education teacher, a playwright, and a postman. And nearly a bishop.

He is a bit of a storyteller too.

Find out what the policeman said, what the midwife did and why Rony ended up in the News of the World. And how he died in Rotherham.

Read about the Vicar's daughter, what really happened in the Doncaster sauna, and in the Blackheath artist's studio in the summer of love.

There are indiscretions and personal revelations galore that even Rony would never dare broadcast.

'South Yorkshire's favourite uncle'  -The Yorkshire Post

'Rony Robinson has talked to more women in bed on a Saturday
morning than any other man in Sheffield' – The Star

And the New Statesman said he was ' Very funny'. He is, and so
is this book.
