Open Homes workspaceAbout Sheffield
Sheffield built its global reputation on steel, becoming world-famous for cutlery and, in the 19th century, for the invention of crucible and stainless steel. Set among seven hills and five rivers on the edge of the Peak District, it was once one of the most heavily industrial cities in England. Since the decline of heavy industry it has regenerated around its two universities, cultural venues and green spaces — it is often called one of the greenest cities in Europe. Strong student numbers and a lower cost of living support steady rental demand across its neighbourhoods.
