According to heritage campaigner, Robin Hughes, Pinstone Street represents Sheffield's transition from a town with ambition, to a city with prospects.

"In 1875, the council got parliamentary powers to remodel the town centre, moving the heart of the city to what is now the top of Fargate, and creating three major new streets – Leopold Street, Surrey Street, and Pinstone Street.

"This was the original ‘heart of the city’ project – 19th century style!”

Here, Robin explores the history of Pinstone Street, and how its development throughout the 19th and 20th centuries changed the face of Sheffield.

“It was a devastating night,” says Sheffield historian Ron Clayton.

“Foaming water pounded down Loxley Valley like a train, and everything in its path went down.

“People caught in the middle of it thought the world was ending.”

The Great Sheffield Flood of 1864 killed at least 240 people and destroyed more than 600 houses, when the newly-built Dale Dyke Dam collapsed as it was being filled for the first time, sending three million cubic metres of water smashing through the city, as it slept.

Here, Ron explores exactly what happened on that fateful night, just before midnight on March 11 1864.

“On two terrible nights in December 1940, Germany rained bombs down on Sheffield,” says Neil Anderson, author of ‘Sheffield’s Date with Hitler.’

“Hundreds were killed, thousands injured, and ten per cent of the city left homeless.

“Until ten years ago, the story of the Sheffield Blitz was largely untold, but it’s important that people know what happened here, and that nothing like it is ever allowed to happen again.”

Here, Neil explores the Sheffield Blitz in detail, re-telling many first-hand accounts and stories he gathered during interviews for his book, written to mark the 70th anniversary.
