About Sheffield
Sheffield, England is a proud and creatively resurgent city situated at the confluence of five rivers — the Don, Sheaf, Rivelin, Loxley, and Porter — in South Yorkshire in the north of England, approximately 260 kilometres north of London and 50 kilometres northeast of Manchester, and is the fourth-largest city in England and one of the most remarkable stories of post-industrial reinvention in the United Kingdom — a city that was the steel and cutlery capital of the world for two centuries, whose manufacturing heritage gave the English language the word Sheffield as a byword for quality metalwork, and that has rebuilt on the foundations of that extraordinary industrial legacy a contemporary culture of music, sport, outdoor recreation, and creative enterprise that has made it one of the most livable, most green, and most quietly impressive cities in Britain.
Sheffield's steel heritage is of world-historical significance — the city's crucible steel process, developed by Benjamin Huntsman in the 1740s, revolutionized metallurgy and made Sheffield the pre-eminent centre of high-quality steel and cutlery production in the world, supplying the knives, forks, surgical instruments, and industrial steel that equipped the British Empire and the global economy for two centuries. The Lower Don Valley, once the most intensively industrialized river valley in the world — its furnaces burning so continuously that the valley glowed red at night and was visible from miles away — is now the site of a remarkable regeneration anchored by Meadowhall shopping centre and the ongoing transformation of former steelworks into creative and commercial spaces, while Kelham Island Museum, housed in a Victorian industrial complex on a man-made island in the River Don, is one of the finest industrial heritage museums in England, its mighty River Don Engine — the most powerful surviving steam engine in the world — still running under steam on selected days in a demonstration of Victorian engineering power that is genuinely awe-inspiring.
Sheffield's musical legacy is extraordinary for a city of its size — the city produced Def Leppard, Human League, Pulp, Arctic Monkeys, and Richard Hawley in a concentration of musical talent across rock, synth-pop, Britpop, and indie that reflects a creative culture of remarkable depth and consistency, and whose influence on British popular music across four decades is out of all proportion to the city's size. The Leadmill and the Crucible Theatre — the latter home to the World Snooker Championship each April in a tournament of such atmosphere, tradition, and sporting drama that it has become one of the most beloved events in the British sporting calendar — anchor a cultural life of considerable quality, while the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University together give the city a student population of over 60,000 that animates its neighbourhoods, independent music venues, and café culture with a youthful energy of enduring vitality.
Top attractions include the outstanding Kelham Island Museum, the magnificent Millennium Gallery housing the Metalwork Collection — the finest collection of Sheffield silver and metalwork in the world — the beautiful Winter Garden, one of the largest urban temperate glasshouses in Europe, the Graves Gallery of fine art, the vibrant Ecclesall Road and Sharrow Vale independent shopping and dining districts, and exceptional access to the Peak District National Park whose dramatic moorland, limestone dales, and ancient gritstone edges begin virtually at the city's boundary in a proximity of wild and beautiful landscape to a major urban centre that is almost unique in England.
With its world-shaping steel heritage, outstanding Kelham Island Museum, extraordinary musical legacy, beloved World Snooker Championship, magnificent Winter Garden, and an unrivalled access to the Peak District that makes it the greenest major city in England, Sheffield is a South Yorkshire city of genuine industrial grandeur and enduring creative soul.
Its airport code was SZD (Sheffield City Airport), which closed in 2008.
