Sheffield A Civilised Place by Duncan Froggatt

A thematic history of Sheffield from prehistoric times to present day. The book explores the development of the city through the essentials of a civilised life, often putting local developments in a national or international context.

It highlights notable buildings and places, from humble barns and cottages to factories and offices, to modern tower blocks, from churches to places of entertainment and recreation and diverse forms of transport and communication and other services. The book features some of the key people involved in the creating of these places and is comprehensively illustrated with photographs by Angela Harpham.

The book has been accepted for the Sheffield Authors Showcase 2019/20: A celebration of the impact of the research and teaching at The University of Sheffield
