The long since empty NUM headquarters
Apparently soon to be turned into a casino. The building has been empty for many many years.

Women of Steel
The stunning bronze statue which is a permanent memorial to the Women of Steel now stands proudly in Barker's Pool in Sheffield City Centre. The statue was unveiled on 17th June 2016 and over 100 surviving Women of Steel came along to the unveiling ceremony and lunch at the City Hall Ballroom.
During both World Wars, thousands of women were conscripted to work in the factories and steel mills to keep them running whilst the men were away fighting.

Women of Steel Statue, Barker's Pool, Sheffield
During both World Wars, thousands of South Yorkshire women were conscripted to work in the factories and steel mills to keep them running whilst the men were away fighting.
The women, many of them in their teens and early twenties, took on these roles, which were often dangerous and physically demanding, alongside looking after their families and other duties. At the end of the war these women were simply dismissed from the factories as the men returned and for many years their outstanding effort went unrecognised.
This statue was erected as recently as June 2016.
