RichardB Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Very little information on this but here goes ... "In other respects, the Second Year was not of great note, within the school, but outside, things were happening. Sheffield had seen the depths of the 1929 onwards Depression and to bring the City to the notice of the World, it was decided that there would be a 'Sheffield Week' in 1932, with world wide publicity. The Sheffield City Hall opened in the Sheffield Week, and there were several special concerts in the Hall. I managed to go to the second one and heard the fine organ." http://www.omnesamici.co.uk/SPTC/SPTCdonaldHtomlinCSS.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 While purely local interest in "Sheffield Week" ran high, the primary aim of its organisers was to concentrate external attention on Sheffield's activities, and to make special play on the unrivaled capacity and efficiency of local industries. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=0dpJAAAAYAAJ&q=%22sheffield+week%22&dq=%22sheffield+week%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=M_rZT52-KZOO4gT34JijAw&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken wain Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Just like to say a very big thank you to everyone who went out of their way to provide me with an answer to my question . It just goes to show what a wealth of information is available to people via the Sheffield History Site,and how helpful the members really are. Quite a difference from the libraries department who had a quick look and said they could find no reference to it. Many thanks. KEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
