Barclays Bank: the grand building that we lost

I've just overheard my wife giving an online lesson to secondary pupils in Bromley, Kent. The subject included the Hugenots, many of whom settled in Sheffield and were associated with the early days of cutlery production. She then had to explain that once upon a time Sheffield was the centre of steel making and world renowned for the quality of its products, apparently the girls were totally unaware of Sheffield Steel. 😧
