Sheffield Walk: City Centre【4K】

Located in the county of South Yorkshire, and around 160 miles north, and slightly west, of London, is the city of Sheffield. Historically it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire up until 1974. The name 'Sheffield' is derived from the River Sheaf. It is believed that the Anglo-Saxons formed a settlement around a field or forest clearing at the confluence of the River Sheaf and River Don. After the Norman Conquest of 1066, Sheffield was a part of the historical county of Hallamshire, which was owned by Norman barons. In the 12th century, a wooden castle was built, which was later replaced by a stone castle in 1270. This was eventually destroyed following the Civil War in the 17th century. In 1296 Sheffield was granted a market charter by Edward I. One year later, 'Robert the Cutler' was recorded in a tax return. This is significant as it is the earliest surviving reference to the manufacture of cutlery in Sheffield. A further reference appeared in 1387 from the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer from The Reeve's Tale: "A Sheffeld thwitel baar he in his hose" ('thwitel' referring to a type of knife). The steel industry, including cutlery manufacture, would go on to play a huge role in the growth of Sheffield. By 1600 it had become the biggest producer of cutlery outside of London. In 1624 the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire was incorporated. Since 1638 they have been based at Cutlers' Hall opposite Sheffield Cathedral on Church Street (although the current building dates from 1832). Their aim has been to maintain the standards and quality of Sheffield manufactured cutlery and steel products and to promote the name of the city. This includes certifying products claiming to be "made in Sheffield". In the 1740s a clock maker named Benjamin Huntsman invented a way of making better quality steel called crucible steel. This involved the use of coke, derived from coal. Its higher carbon content allows temperatures hot enough to melt steel and dissolve iron. Around the same period, a technique was developed for fusing a thin sheet of silver onto a copper ingot to produce silver plating, which became known as Sheffield plate. These innovations brought about rapid growth in Sheffield during the Industrial Revolution. In 1838 the Sheffield and Rotherham railway opened. This was the first of a number of rail connections that brought about more efficient transportation of goods to the neighbouring towns and beyond. In 1893 Sheffield was granted city status. During both world wars, Sheffield became a producer of armaments using its existing factories. In doing so, it became a target for bombing on both occasions. In 1916 a German Zeppelin dropped bombs on Sheffield, killing 28. In 1940 the Sheffield Blitz claimed the lives of over 600 following a 4-day raid from by Luftwaffe. In the second half of the 20th century, the steel industry went into gradual decline as a result of increased automation and competition from abroad. Thus there are a number of derelict factories dotted around the outskirts of the city. This formed the premise of the 1997 film, The Full Monty, which sees unemployed steel workers form a striptease group in order to relieve their financial burdens. The film was shot almost entirely on location in Sheffield. In 1971 the Crucible Theatre built. It is perhaps best known for hosting the World Snooker Championship, which it has done since 1977. In 1994 the Sheffield Supertram began operation. To this day it is an integral part of the city with regular services between Sheffield and surrounding areas including Rotherham. Sheffield is represented by two football teams: Sheffield United, a.k.a. The Blades, and Sheffield Wednesday, a.k.a. The Owls. Several famous musicians and bands have emerged from Sheffield over the years. These include Joe Cocker, The Human League, ABC, Heaven 17, Def Leppard, Pulp and the Arctic Monkeys. Other famous people from Sheffield include Sean Bean, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Jamie Vardy. 👇 SUBSCRIBE TO 4K EXPLORER FOR NEW VIDEOS EVERY WEEK 👇 https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?su...
