Sheffield is famous for its heavy industries, particularly the manufacture of steel. Much has gone today and so have many of the pubs around here, which must at one time have served the workers in the local factories, as well as local residents. The building on the left was a pub, appropriately named The Industry. At the moment it seems to be undergoing renovation, but probably not as a pub. It is next door to another former pub, The Meadow Image The building on the right is a barbers and being photographed on a Sunday it is understandably closed. The steel shutters seem designed to keep unwanted visitors out.
