A guided walk by Nigel Slack, Chair of The Victorian Society, South Yorkshire.
We will walk through Sheffield City Centre looking at the buildings and places connected to Sheffield’s extraordinary history of activism and political reforming. Queen Victoria’s reign began in violence for the city, saw early Women’s Suffrage, Chartism, early Unions, the Sheffield Outrages, and political reform that saw the election of working class Councillors to the new City Council. Violence was never far from the surface as social reforms came slowly and the Edwardian era saw a return to Women’s Suffrage at the end of Victoria’s reign.
