Sheffield, renowned for its exceptional manufacturing quality, holds a prestigious status as a global 'steel city,' renowned for pioneering advancements in steel manufacture and processing. The city's reputation extends further with 'Sheffield plate' and 'Sheffield cutlery' being recognized as the epitome of excellence worldwide. However, the story of Sheffield's industry extends beyond a mere chronicle of the rise of steel production. One of the city's earliest and significant industries was established in the northern region at Wharncliffe Crags (Quern-cliff Crags), the site of one of the Roman Empire's largest grindstone or quern-stone manufacturing sites. Similar to later and more renowned industrial endeavors, the querns were crafted in Sheffield due to the availability of the finest and most suitable quarried stone. Following the steel industry, other industries such as glass making, brewing, refractory products, power generation, joinery, and more emerged, thriving alongside or in parallel to it.
In his captivating book, Ian D. Rotherham provides a comprehensive and engaging exploration of Sheffield, offering a wealth of illustrations and a user-friendly writing style. This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in delving into the rich history and remarkable achievements of one of Britain's most prominent industrial centers.
