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 is very friendly, informative and approachable. The tour is mainly about crime and the gang wars but with other interesting information given along the way. It's a leisurely walk not rushed and very worth while. I would definitely recommend!
It was easy to follow all the information shared by Kevin during the tour, some of which included some curiosities about the criminal history of Sheffield apart from the essential tourist attractions!
Kevin was a brilliant tour guide, so knowledgeable and had some great personal stories to add to the mix. A great couple of hours learning about history and gang wars, which I knew nothing about. Was a great way to get a different perspective of the city. Highly recommend a tour with Kevin ☺️
I guess every city has its dark periods....it was interesting to hear about the criminals and how human nature works....with kevin having been a police officer he would have first hand experience about law breakers which would prove to be important in relating to Sheffield's dark history!.... would definitely recommend this tour
not your average walking tour! very informative and knowledgable about historic gangs and police incidents in Sheffield. The tales were interwoven and told very well. The scenes were set well and were interesting. Kevins passion for his previous job and his city were evident. would recommend for anyone with an interest in historic crime. thank you
