Helen Cupit, Marketing and Events Co-ordinator for the Chamber, said: “The 150th anniversary of the Chamber and Sheffield FC this year has given us an opportunity to look at the key moments which have taken place since 1857.

“All the national and international incidents have in someway played a role in the development of Sheffield, but it was also important for the timeline to feature events which took place in the city.

“We hope the timeline and the our150th.co.uk website will be interesting reading for many people.”
