From the time when it was a major producer of high-quality steel and internationally renowned for its cutlery, through decline and recession in the twentieth century, to its twenty-first-century reinvention and revival as a vibrant developing centre of retail and commerce, Sheffield has a proud and distinctive identity. Sheffield in 50 Buildings explores the extraordinary history of England s fourth largest city through a selection of its greatest architectural treasures. From the nineteenth-century Gothic Revival Town Hall to the popular Millenium Gallery, which opened in 2001 as part of the successful Heart of the City Project, this unique study celebrates the city s architectural heritage in a new and accessible way. Local author and historian Ian Rotherham guides the reader on a tour of the city s historic buildings and modern architectural marvels.
