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.
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
Amazing, we have lived here for so long yet Kevin showed us things that we didn't even know were there, we probably walked past 100 times without realising. His knowledge of Sheffield was outstanding and he was able to impart this in an easy to understand, informative way. The size of the group (5) made it informal and enabled people to ask questions en route, We would recommend this trip.
Really enjoyed our walking tour today with Kevin…. Found it very interesting and it gave you a sense of what Sheffield was like at different times in its history ……
It was as advertised.
