 A Brief History Of Sheffield
Sheffield Castle was built after the Norman Conquest to oversee the local settlements in what is now the heart of the city.
Sheffield was on the “cutting edge” so to speak of cutlery technology in those early years, and the invention and improvement of several processes in the mid 1700’s revolutionized metallurgy.
Sheffield grew as an industrial center, and was a great producer of steel until a recession from the loss of import markets at the end of the 18th century.

 Kenilworth Castle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In contemplating the bold fragments and shattered ruins of this castle, and reflecting on the scenes of warfare and rude pageantry which have prevailed here at different and distant ages, the mind is at once fully occupied and delighted.
The castle then became the property of the king, who, when he saw dangers thickening around him, sent orders to the constable to keep a sufficient garrison in the castle, intending to retire thither in the worst emergency of his fortunes.
The king's eldest son, Henry, took a fancy to the castle "as the most noble and magnificent thing in the midland parts of this realm;" yet, with that gentlemanly feeling for which he has obtained much praise, was unwilling to occupy the premises without something like compensation to the ejected owner.

 Sheffield Tramways
Although Sheffield had a large network of "first-generation" trams, the city still has few roads of suitable width for trams to be fully segregated from traffic.
On March 21st, 1994, trams returned to revenue operation in Sheffield, a city once renowned for its large tramway network and which held on to its tram system until 1960 as one of the last major British cities to do so.
Crossing Park Square on a new bridge, the initial phase terminated at Ponds Forge / Fitzalan Square but was extended through the centre of the city, first to Cathedral and quickly onwards to Shalesmoor, in February 1995.
