South Yorkshire – A Stainless reputation in steel
Although the county of South Yorkshire is a fairly new creation (1974), the area itself has a long history, with evidence of inhabitants existing at least 13,000 years ago. Artifacts found in caves at Creswell Crags relate to the late Upper Palaeolithic period, but there are many other prehistoric remains to be found in the area.
South Yorkshire has a history of mining and steel manufacturing industries, although the main industry was coal.
One of the main cities in South Yorkshire is Sheffield, which gained a reputation for producing knives in the 14th century. By the early part of the 17th century, Sheffield was the centre for producing cutlery in England and the name “Stainless Steel” was widely seen.
