A short visit to Sheffield

  In January we spent a couple of days in Sheffield, staying at the Premier Inn overnight. The first afternoon we walked the streets of Sheffield visiting the Cathedral, the Peace and Winter Gardens and just generally wandering about. The second day we went to the Kelham Island Museum which tells the story of steel making in Sheffield. Here is a selection of the 'wandering' images.
