Naturally we all know that the city is built on industry and manufacturing, with most of these companies now long gone or owned by foreign consortiums, I would like the memories of the types of things that were, and are still, made in Sheffield.

Sheffield is still recognised. A bar tender in San Francisco , asked where did I come from. When I said Sheffield, he said "Thats where they make steel & cutlery".

I once had a couple of drinks with Bo Diddley he asked where my funny accent was from i told him Sheffield , he replied Oh that's Joe,s town.[ Cocker]

So i suppose the accent is unique and made in Sheffield.
