Hello, my name is Kevin. I'm a retired police sergeant, I also have experience working within the criminal justice system at the Sheffield Combined and Family Courts.. As a police officer I spent a number of years 'pounding the beat' in Sheffield city centre. I also worked as a shift and custody sergeant. I grew to be fascinated with Sheffield's history of people and places .especially the more 'dark' side of that history. I have organised walking tours for my colleagues at the courts and now I have fully retired I have designed this tour. I'm a born and bred 'Sheffielder', a lover of Guinness and a passionate Sheffield Wednesday supporter. So, come and join me on the beat, lets walk and talk together as we open up some of Sheffield's forgotten past. Looking forward to meeting you.
Kevin's tour was very well delivered, with great confidence and a real passion for his home City, I would recommend anyone that likes to get below the veneer of an unknown City takes this tour. Kevin made us feel welcome and we really enjoyed his telling of a great story.
Nice tour if you have a particular interest in Sheffield’s broad general history and gangland scene. No real mention of Sheffield’s steel history, but in fairness, there are other tours that cover that part of the City’s history.
So fun and engaging! Highly recommend
Kevin was very knowledgeable and explained some very interesting history about the gang wars in Sheffield. Would recommend! Thanks.
