In 2014, a since-deleted article in Exposed Magazine gushed that Little Kelham was “biggest thing to ever happen to Kelham Island”. One homeowner remembers people literally "queueing up overnight" to put their name down for the first flats up for sale.

The importance of local journalism: great Sheffield election roundup here. (Great work @sheffgreenparty.bsky.social! #Sheffieldissuper) Impossible to find proper reports for so many places www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/labour-face-...

It’s The Tribune local election special! Featuring: 🔴 Labour remain Sheffield’s biggest party — just 🔵 Big wins for Reform, despite controversial campaign 🟢 Easy being Green 🟡 A bruising in Beighton for the Lib Dems ❓ Plus, after Fox and Hunt, who will lead Sheffield now?

RESULTS Stocksbridge and Upper Don — Reform GAIN Stannington — Lib Dem HOLD Woodhouse — Reform GAIN Shiregreen and Brightside — Reform GAIN Ecclesall — Green GAIN

First bits of intel coming through now from the Sheffield count… 🔵 Reform say Beighton “looking like a landslide for them”. 🟢 Greens say both Manor Castle and Burngreave “looking good”. More to follow.

Groovy, Laidback and Nasty: A History of Independent Music in Sheffield by Daniel Dylan Wray, is the first ever truly definitive history of the Steel City's musical heritage. In today’s piece, which is a must read for all Sheffield music lovers, Daniel explains why he felt the book needed writing.

Over the last few weeks, The Tribune has heard tales of a new breed of Sheffield skiver: people who take the opportunity of “working from home” to spend time in the pub on sunny days. Ground zero for this new phenomenon is reportedly the much-loved Brothers Arms in Heeley. We went to investigate.

When Labour’s Bob Johnson found out that he had been deposed as council leader in 2021, it came as a bit of a shock. Fast forward five years and Labour activists fear Sheffield council’s current leader Tom Hunt might lose his Walkley seat to the Greens’ Andy Davies. Might history repeat itself?

Last night, The Tribune hosted our first ever election hustings in the gorgeous Channing Hall, where Sheffield’s three main parties vied for our members' votes. (Despite our best efforts, no one from Reform attended.) Thank you so much to everyone who came!

It's so good to see that @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social has been shortlisted for an award... for their incredible work on the Andrew Milne story... This is so well deserved... But it's sad to see how #Sheffield is treating their female councillors... They should not be singled out for abuse...

So proud to see five of my wonderful colleagues listed for the Paul Foot award. 👏👏 It’s the second year now that a @millmedia.bsky.social investigation has been up for the top UK journalism prize. Huge thanks to all our paying members who back this model/team/vision - it’s working!

We're on it! We're thrilled to be listed alongside some great investigations:

“In the course of reporting this story, not one of Reform’s 30 candidates agreed to an interview, even over the phone. While I got the odd message back over Facebook, dozens of emails, cold calls and home visits fell on deaf ears.” @danhayesjourno.bsky.social can’t get a text back.

This week's Tribune briefing is now out! Featuring: 🗞️ We’re England’s biggest village. Time for a “village hall” then? 🚨 Serious fraud office investigate Killamarsh business 🗑️ Illegal dump fined £20,000 🏫 Sheffield school second worst for truancy in England 🏡 Plus, home of the week and things to do

Given the polls, you’d expect Reform to be clamouring for attention, knocking so hard on the door to The Tribune’s office that the wood threatens to split. You’d be wrong. In the course of reporting this story, not one of the party’s 30 candidates agrees to an interview, even over the phone. Why?

In the UK in 2025, 41 indie bookshops shut up shop for good. But in Sheffield, indie bookshops are thriving. Literary types are increasingly convinced there's something starting to bubble in the city. Now, a new independent book festival hopes to capitalise on the buzz. ✍️@hollywilliams.bsky.social

Major NHS staffing cuts are currently taking place at South Yorkshire's Integrated Care Board, a body which plans and oversees the NHS across our region. The cuts are billed by health secretary Wes Streeting as cutting "unnecessary bureaucracy" in the NHS, but not everyone see it quite like that.

The campaign we’re about to launch is going to be the biggest thing The Tribune has ever done. We often report on structural problems — misinformation, widening cultural divides, a lack of opportunities for young people — and now we’d like to do something to help. Can you make Sheffield better?

This week's Tribune briefing is now out! Featuring: 🗞️ Anger over canal towpath closure 🗳️ Restore Britain to field 13 candidates at election 🚨 Attercliffe sauna closed down by police 👊 Sheffield gang wars remembered 🏡 Plus, home of the week, and things to do

Could Sheffield lose the Showroom? Those familiar with the iconic cinema say it's always operated on a shoestring, but that it's never felt quite so precarious as it does now

Over a year ago, a vulnerable woman froze to death on the street, just minutes from her flat. Why did it take so long for her carers to find her?

I have three court hearings to attend in three months. Two subjects of our reporting are suing us. Journalism is threatened by abusive legal threats aimed at silencing reporting. The Government needs to #StopSLAPPs. Please share and write to your MP. manchestermill.co.uk/three-courts...

For some populist politicians, these tiny dragon-like creatures are responsible for stymieing economic progress in the name of biodiversity. However, one project in the wetlands of east Sheffield shows how Great Crested Newts and human beings can live side by side. ✍️ @bbobillsmothers.bsky.social

This week's Tribune briefing is now out! Featuring: 🗞️ The controversial ‘urban explorer’ selling kids access to abandoned buildings 🗳️ Local election candidate list revealed 🌳 Will bequest given to Weston Park.

The arrival of autonomous delivery robots has outraged many in Meersbrook, before triggering an inevitable backlash to the backlash. We spoke to residents and Starship Technologies - who created the robots - to find out more

God it just gets murkier and murkier. Grateful that @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social is shining a light. Also that company name 🫣

What would you do if you woke up to find someone had planted a for sale sign in your garden without your knowledge? Or if you turned on your laptop to find a picture of your home on Rightmove without you ever knowing anything about it? Yes, Sheffield’s freehold story just got a whole lot weirder.

The photography project Humans of New York has so far spawned 10,000 portraits, 30 million followers and three bestselling books. Sheffield's answer to HoNY is Matt Willoughby. Here, he talks about how his projects developed, from a celebrity rejection to uber close-up shots that expose every pore.

This is just one example of the misery inflicted on people. When the story broke last year, I took out a subs with @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social. We need journalists who will pursue stories like this, despite the threats and intimidation. www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/denise-paid-...

This is what courage looks like: going on the record to talk about how you were pressured into paying over £25,000. After six months of our reporting on Andrew Milne, Denise wanted to go public. Read her story in the link below 👇

Just been reminded – by an exciting email from Severin – that I forgot to share this piece from the Sheffield Tribune when it was published. We've talked to a lot of people about Threads and our upcoming documentary Survivors: The Spectre of Threads, but this is my favourite interview we've done.

*Everyone* thought Sheffield was losing the snooker - there was no chance Sheffield could match the Saudis' cash. So how did we save it? www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/unsnookered-...

How it started: How it's going:

EXCLUSIVE: The Tribune can reveal that a convicted sex offender nicknamed 'killer' worked as a director at Sheffield youth organisation Mums United. Amar Ilyas, 41, was convicted of 20 sex offences in September 2025. He is currently on the run in Pakistan. www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/andrew-milne...

I believe the industry term "impact journalism" was invented for stories like this.

BREAKING: South Yorkshire Police have confirmed detectives have now formally launched a criminal investigation into Andrew Milne. The solicitor bought hundreds of freeholds, then begun a campaign of “very aggressive” letters to pressure homeowners into buying them for more than their true worth.

BREAKING: Snooker staying in Sheffield After years of threats that it might decamp to Saudi Arabia, Snooker’s World Championship has agreed to stay in Sheffield until 2045. As part of a “landmark long-term agreement”, the Crucible will receive a £45m expansion, increasing its capacity by 50%.

The MEN’s editor wants to “set the record straight” and address the “persistent myth that local journalism is in decline”. Reach Plc has cut around *2,000 jobs* since I started @manchestermill.bsky.social and yet they persist with this brazen lie. Enough of it. manchestermill.co.uk/whos-peddlin...

Can you really condense over half a century in the life of a family — or the life of this city — into a single evening? Set in Pitsmoor, Leo Butler’s new play “Living” focuses on one couple over sixty years of life in Sheffield, as it changes from the 1960s to now. ✍️ @hollywilliams.bsky.social

When The Tribune was told about a “mad, massive party” at a small terraced house in Highfield, it quickly became apparent that the house in question had been rented out as an Airbnb. Is this a sign that Sheffield is now entering its own Airbnb boom — and what does that mean for those living nearby?

WE ARE HIRING 🚨 We’re looking for two great writers to help us get our new newsroom off the ground.

“I call lichens creatures — because they’re complicated things.” Today’s story is about industrial pollution and climate change, and how a symbiotic creature made of fungi and algae is silently monitoring Sheffield's air quality without any of us knowing about it. ✍️ @bbobillsmothers.bsky.social

This week's Tribune briefing is now out! Featuring: 🗞️ The future’s bright. The future’s… 🏡 A disturbing Rightmove advert for a freehold in Nether Edge 🗑️ Households to get bigger blue bins for recycling 🏗️ Can Sheffield Hallam open its London campus in time? 🗓️ Plus, home of the week, and things to do

The @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social has done fair, even-handed reporting on this issue that created so much froth in Sheffield. Looking forward to getting to Electric Studios sometime.

Depending on how you slice it, it's taken a decade, four years or seven months for Electric Studios (the new venue in the Leadmill building) to open. So what's next?
