“I think everyone deserves access to beauty.” In the 1950s and 60s, Sheffield was at its industrial height. It was a wealthy and vibrant place and was looking to the future with confidence and optimism. The beautiful, innovative buildings constructed during that time are a legacy of that optimism.

BREAKING: The former Bethel Chapel on Cambridge Street is to become a sauna, ice bath and cafe named Güs. The building is currently being refitted with a finishing date of end of October.

Many in the Sheffield Labour Party are worried about losing voters to Reform, but it’s possible that they may lose just as many to parties of the left. These include the Green Party, who already have 14 councillors in the city. Now, with the launch of Your Party, a new player has entered the game.

On New Year's Day this year, Sheffield reached the halfway point of the Streets Ahead PFI. The 25 year contract with Amey was meant to be about renewing the city’s road network, but ended up being about one thing: street trees. Now, as the tree scandal fades into memory, are our roads any better?

For 36 years, Dave Walker has watched over the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal, managing water levels and guiding boats down to the River Don. After four decades he says the link between him and the water is almost psychic. "I can listen to the water coming over that lock and know if I’ve got enough."

Exclusive: Derbyshire Police have reopened an investigation into historic sexual offences at Mount St Mary's college, the private Catholic school near Sheffield that shut down in July.

Since 2022, the cost of Event Central, the new venue the council is building on Fargate, has doubled from £7m to £14m. However, at an emergency meeting to decide the future of the project last week, councillors voted unanimously to forge ahead. Is Event Central still a good use of public money?

“I don’t want avocado on toast with a poached egg that’s not really poached. Give me a sausage sarnie any day.” Once a staunchly working class area, Hillsborough is changing. But among all the new Danish bakeries and micro-pubs, is there still a place for the old greasy spoons and basic boozers?

“It’s become this indelible thing for Sheffield people now. It’s in the city’s blood.” Love Threads? If so, you’ll definitely enjoy this piece by @danieldylanwray.bsky.social about new doc Survivors: The Spectre of Threads ahead of its world premiere at the Sheffield Film Festival next weekend.

Great article by @bbobillsmothers.bsky.social in @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social on moths & more- including how language & relationships are forged together for mutual benefit of people & planet.

Absolutely shocking to hear that @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social are forcing trans staff to use repurposed disabled toilets, imposing a discriminatory policy which effectively makes trans staff out themselves (and reduces disabled provision). Important reporting from @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social.

“In some cases the only way to identify it is by killing and dissecting it and examining its genitalia,” says Ben. “We’re not going to do that tonight.” @bbobillsmothers.bsky.social joins the moth watchers for an evening with these mysterious creatures. www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/in-search-of...

Brilliant reporting from the @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social. Terrifyingly, a widely discredited pseudo-science from the 80s described as pro-paedophilic by an attorney in the US is still used in UK courts, leading to child victims placed with their abuser. www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/the-harmful-...

“I was pleading with them to understand – I kept thinking, am I crazy? Why is no one seeing this?” When Rosie* reported to police that her daughter had been abused by their father, she assumed it would make it harder for him to see them. But that's often not how it works. 1/4

BREAKING: @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social has ordered @theleadmill.bsky.social to stop removing the iconic sculpture above the venue's entrance, as they do not have planning permission. The stonework they have already removed must be reinstalled, the council added.

It’s one of Sheffield's most visible problems: bins. Walk around the city centre and they're everywhere. Large commercial bins cluttering the street or dumpsters so full that waste is falling out of them. So, what’s going wrong here? We investigate for today’s edition of Sheffield’s Big Questions.

Despite the name, the cause of most wildfires isn’t wild at all: it’s people. Barbecues, camp fires and cigarettes are overwhelmingly the causes of fires in the Peak District. Some are even caused deliberately by people who for whatever reason like the idea of setting the countryside on fire.

Quantum computing is currently the Holy Grail of computer science — a technology that could put vastly increased computing power at humanity’s fingertips, but which is proving devilishly difficult to harness. However, pioneering Sheffield tech firm Aegiq thinks it may have cracked the quantum code.
