grinder   10 #1 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Sheffield's been around for quite a while and over the years has grown from a village into a city, and in doing so it has encompassed many of the surrounding villagers around it. So taking the present day City limits as the boundaries who in your opinion are the top five most famous born and bred Sheffield people ?.....  I'll start with Sir Francis Chantry and Sir J Charles Clegg..
