'''Sheffield''' is a city mainly in southern [[Yorkshire]], England. Arguably one of England's most important cities during the Industrial Revolution of the late-18th and early-19th centuries, Sheffield is historically renown for its [[stainless steel]] production and role in the international [[cutlery]] trade, with the production of cutlery in the area being recorded from the 14th century. It has been known as "the Cutler's Town" since the late [[Middle Ages]], with "Steel City" being a more recent nickname. As the crow flies, it lies 30 miles south of [[Leeds]], a similar distance north of [[Derby]], 40 miles north-east of [[Stoke-on-Trent]] and 32 miles east of [[Manchester]].

The core of modern Sheffield was historically a small market town in the [[Strafforth]] wapentake of the [[West Riding of Yorkshire]]. Urban expansion in the 19th century saw the city's southern suburbs expand into northern Derbyshire, though the city had its own county borough council. Though described as a "city", the city status actually belongs to the larger council area of [[Sheffield City Council]] rather than the settlement itself.

The core of modern Sheffield was historically a small market town in the [[Strafforth]] wapentake of the [[West Riding of Yorkshire]]. First recorded by name in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086, the establishment of the township is attributed to [[William de Lovetot]], who constructed Sheffield's parish church (now the site of Sheffield Cathedral) and motte-and-bailey [[castle]] (now demolished) in c. 1100. Urban expansion in the 19th century saw the city's southern suburbs expand into northern Derbyshire, though the city had its own county borough council. Though described as a "city", the city status actually belongs to the larger council area of [[Sheffield City Council]] rather than the settlement itself.
