More about this scene

Sheffield was once described by Horace Walpole as 'one of the foulest towns of England in the most charming situation'. At this time it was a smoke-begrimed steelmaking town with a population of over 380,000. This is the junction of South Street and Union Street. The monument was erected to commemorate the Crimean War; as with many such monuments, it came complete with a captured Russian cannon.
