Sheffield

Near Stannington

This blogging journey I am on has just entered its twentieth year. In the early days, I created a blogpost about the city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire - simply to give visitors a sense of where I am blogging from. Now years have passed and the old visitors have gone. Instead, new visitors come here.

Quite possibly, you have little idea what this city is like - especially if you live in a foreign land. I could help you out by writing about Sheffield's rich industrial heritage and how it was built on steel. Just as Pittsburgh  is known as America's steel city, so Sheffield is still commonly referred to as England's city of steel.  It has a population of well over half a million people.

I could also wax lyrical about our wonderful surrounding countryside and write about the city's key importance in the history of modern football (American: soccer). The two oldest football teams in the world were formed here - Sheffield F.C. and Hallam F.C..

Instead of all of this, I have set myself the task of choosing twelve representative  photographs to share with you. Little windows on this city. All have been extracted from my store of Geograph images:-
