In 1988, the moment the photographer John Darwell arrived in the city, Sheffield was undergoing a metamorphosis.

"Most of the group disagreed with the leadership on this."
On Monday Sheffield council was in disarray, as a power-sharing agreement between Labour and the Greens hung by a thread.
What happened behind closed doors to bring Sheffield back from the brink?

BREAKING: Labour leader Fran Belbin has announced that the party *will not* be proposing to run Sheffield council as a minority administration at today’s full council meeting.
This is after last minute talks today aimed at finding common ground between Labour and the Greens.
£32,728. That, according to the ONS, is the median salary in Sheffield.
But there’s a massive range in how much cash people have coming in. That’s why I’m breaking asking the most intrusive question imaginable:
How much money do you make?

Cartoonist @jameswhitworth with his take on our big story from last week about the long-awaited reopening of Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
“I heard a guy on the radio recently say Sheffield was never known for clashing,” says 58-year-old selector Prento, audibly irritated, during our chat in SADACCA, the Afro-Caribbean community centre on the Wicker. “I thought ‘you don’t know nothing!’

Chancellor John Healey has called the project to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport “concrete proof of the benefits of shifting power out of Whitehall” - yet some are arguing the airport is a naked emperor that politicians are refusing to see.

According to folklore, ghostly black dogs pop up all over. There’s East Anglia’s Black Shuck or Yorkshire’s Padfoot, a chain-carrying dog associated with executions.

Cartoonist @jameswhitworth with his take on our story about the battle raging in our rivers between tough crayfish from the US and their weedy British contemporaries (it’s not often that Whitworth’s cartoons make us groan, but this one did a bit!).
When I met @PolicyRob he told me he was a senior civil servant working in the Cabinet Office.
He said he knew journalists like Harry Cole and Dan Hodges, and worked with ministers like Sajid Javid.
Then I discovered he was the man who hoaxed The Times.
sheffieldtribune.co.uk/confr…
Over the past 20 years, Sheffield man Rob Beal has worked as a senior civil servant, become an expert in airline safety, and hob-nobbed with football bigwigs from Qatar.
But none of that is true. He is actually Sheffield’s most successful media hoaxster.
sheffieldtribune.co.uk/confr…
Rob Beal (@PolicyRob) has been hoaxing journalists since 2009.
The day after the 2009 Air France disaster, an “air accident expert” appeared on Sky News.
It was Beal, although it is unclear how he ended up there, given there is no record of “Global Risk Security” ever existing.

“It’s quite weird what we do, I’m not saying it’s not.”
Beyond these shores Forced Entertainment are regarded as “one of the greatest British theatrical exports of the past 20 years”.
Locally, however, they often feel like this city’s best-kept secret.
