This fascinating selection of photographs illustrates the extraordinary transformation that has taken place in Sheffield during the 20th century. The book offers an insight into the daily lives and living conditions of local people and gives the reader glimpses and details of familiar places during this century of unprecedented change. Many aspects of Sheffield’s recent history are covered, famous occasions and individuals are remembered and the impact of national and international events is witnessed.

Drawing on detailed local knowledge of the community, and illustrated with a wealth of black-and-white photographs, this book recalls what Sheffield has lost in terms of buildings, traditions and ways of life.
