But despite so much being the same where ever you go across the world, there are many things that you will only ever find in Sheffield. Whether that be the city’s own unique food and drink, arts or heritage items, this is the place to come to see it or taste it.
We’ve put together a gallery of 10 of the great things that are pretty much unique to our city. What would you have included?

11. The Bears of Sheffield
Decorated by organisations all across the city, and based on the bear statue in Sheffield Botanical Gardens, The Bears of Sheffield were created to raise money in aid of The Children's Hospital Charity. They were auctioned off at The Crucible and some can still be seen at locations around the city. Photo: Dean Atkins
