(6.) The history of Pinstone Street

Time: 40:24
According to heritage campaigner, Robin Hughes, Pinstone Street represents Sheffield's transition from a town with ambition, to a city with prospects.
"In 1875, the council got parliamentary powers to remodel the town centre, moving the heart of the city to what is now the top of Fargate, and creating three major new streets – Leopold Street, Surrey Street, and Pinstone Street.
"This was the original ‘heart of the city’ project – 19th century style!”
Here, Robin explores the history of Pinstone Street, and how its development throughout the 19th and 20th centuries changed the face of Sheffield.

Description

‘Making Sheffield’ immortalises the moments that have shaped the steel city; celebrating key events and locations in its history, and paying tribute to the trials it has weathered and survived.
Host, and Star journalist, Nik Farah meets the experts behind these stories, inviting you on a journey to discover more about the city where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned for 14 years; the city where Adolf Hitler trained his bombs for two terrible nights in 1940, leaving 10 per cent of the population homeless; and the home to incredible pioneers, from Harry Brearley to the Women of Steel.
