FILM NARRATOR:
Welcome to Sheffield...
:00:51
the beating heart of Britain's
industrial North.
:00:55
The jewel
in Yorkshire's crown...
:00:56
is home to over
half a million people...
:00:58
and thousands more flock here
daily to shop and to work.
:01:04
All this is built on Sheffield's
primary industry--steel.
:01:09
The city's rolling mills,
forges, and workshops...
:01:12
employ some 90,000 men and
state-of-the-art machinery...
:01:16
to make
the world's finest steel--
:01:19
from high-tensile girders
to the stainless cutlery...
:01:22
that ends up
on your dining table.
:01:25
But it's not all hard work
for the people of Steel City.
:01:27
They can spend the day
lounging by the pool...
:01:31
watching
one of our top soccer teams...
:01:33
or browsing in the shops.
:01:40
But when the sun goes down,
the fun really starts...
:01:43
in the city's numerous
nightclubs and discotheques.
:01:46
yes, Yorkshire folk
know how to have a good time...
:01:50
and it's good times
for the city's housing, too.
:01:53
Sheffield
leads the way in town planning.
:01:56
Victorian slums
have been cleared...
:01:57
to make way
for the homes of the future.
