PART 1 Ye Olde Sheffield – Buildings, People and Places

In a change to the previously advertised talk, David Templeman will take us back in time to discover Sheffield’s heritage. The talk peels back layers of the city’s history looking at places, buildings and people. David explores the oldest surviving used building – Sheffield Cathedral with its history spanning 1000 years. He reveals the fascinating past of Barker’s Pool from an early reservoir to the site of major buildings, including the lost entertainment venue The Albert Hall and tells the story of poet and activist James Montgomery (1771 – 1854)
