See how Sheffield photographers charted a turning point in city's fortunes

The Sheffield Project: Photographs of a Changing City is a new exhibition at Weston Park Museum, on show from October 23 to May 3, 2021. These photographs documents when Sheffield had to face mass loss of jobs in steel, coal and manufacturing and start to figure out where to go next.
