Sheffield

Sheffield extends across valleys where four rivers merge into the Don River, surrounded by hills that reach the Pennine highlands and Peak District.

The settlement evolved from an Anglo-Saxon village named Escafeld into a Norman stronghold with a castle and church built in the early 12th century.

The city houses two major universities, numerous theaters, museums dedicated to industrial heritage, and maintains strong connections to its steel-making traditions.

Sheffield's public transport network includes frequent bus services, tram lines connecting suburbs to the center, and a railway station with direct routes to London.

The city developed the first stainless steel in 1912 and remains a global center for metallurgical research with specialized manufacturing facilities.
