It’s a family-friendly city with a prosperous economy and relatively low cost of living. Sheffield obtained world-wide recognition during the 19th century for its production of steel. This fuelled an almost tenfold increase in the population during the Industrial Revolution. The city has grown from its largely industrial roots to encompass a wide economic base.
