Welcome to Sheffield. Our Steel City is the home of the discovery in 1913 of stainless steel by Harry Brearley. He made the discovery that changed the world at Brown Firth. Sheffield Stainless Steel is used in everything from kitchen knives and medical instruments to buildings, power and aerospace. Harry Brearley's name lives on through his Freshgate Trust Foundation, which still provides charitable support to a wide variety of local education and community projects across South Yorkshire.
