There are often comments that there is nothing left of Sheffield’s historic centre. That is not so, despite the best efforts of the Luftwaffe and the post war developers, and this walk will showcase what is to be seen. We’ll see how the Victorian expansion and improvement programmes gave us the city we see today and how much of it has survived over 150 years. Updated for 2025. This walk is led by Nigel Slack, CHair of the Victorian Society in South Yorkshire.
