There would be little left round these parts, I can think of at least six big targets that are so close to Sheffield the blast areas would be overlapping, in fact many cities, Sheffield included, would be hit by more than one warhead, but as said earlier the further up north you go the better your short term chances are, ultimately though you can expect a severely shortened lifespan.

When Sheffield steel was regarded as the "best" and there was a thriving steel industry in the City, maybe a couple of nukes might have been required to stop it's production. But to-day I think a stick of gelignite would be enough to do the business. 

 

Sheffield was known as steel city, wonder what it is called these days.

It still is known as Steel City. 

 

Rather that production which which is now way cheaper in the Far East, value is added to steel in Sheffield by a number of different very specialised finishing processes.

 

When Trump went to war with the rest of the world over steel tariffs, it emerged that part of the International Space Station was made from steel finished in Sheffield which NASA would have to pay a fortune for if Trump didn’t back down.

 

So yes, Sheffield would still be a target!

I remember once reading that Sheffield would get two in the East of the city: one south of where Meadowhall is now to knock out industry and major north south road communications, a further north to ensure that north south road communication is cut. One in the city centre and one in the south west of the city to take out railways lines south and west. Finningly would have been hit too. Redundancy would be built into the attack plan with most targets assigned multiple warheads.

 

There would be hardly anything or anybody left.

It didn't take long for Trump to get a mention. 

Some people are obsessed 😂

Where is the steel made for the space station in sheffield. I thought only the SMACC (Tinsley) site was the one remaining melting shop in Sheffield, and they made stainless when I ran out of there. Maybe it is stainless the space station uses?.

 

Is steel melted at Aldwarke and Thybergh?.

Unless they've both closed without me noticing, I can think of at least two big melting/remelting facilities in Sheffield - Allvac (Firth Browns as I still know it) and Sheffield Forgemasters River Don site. As a point of unrelated interest, I've worked at both.

Don't take this personally,  I1L2T3, but as I'm in a bolshie mood at the moment, and this subject has been bugging me for almost as long as I've been on SF, but why oh why do people (not just you) always look on the negative side of life on almost any subject posted here?🤔
