SHEFFIELD FORGEMASTERS
heffield was for many years the heart of the UK’s steel industry and one of the major centres for manufacturing and engineering in the world.
Everything from cutlery to razor blades to huge rolls of steel alloys used for building and boats was made in South Yorkshire, and Sheffield became famous around the world.
22
23 Sheffield was home to innovators who had the imagination to turn what they had into something much better. The crucible technique was invented by Benjamin Huntsman in 1790 to produce stronger steel and was not superseded for another 100 years. Stainless steel was invented in the city by Harry Brearley in 1912 and is still in use today. The pioneering work of F. B. Pickering and T. Gladman between the 1960s and 1980s contributed hugely to the steel alloys upon which our modern world is built.
Today, Sheffield has taken that old spirit of innovation and put it to thoroughly modern
