2. Carl Lee: inspiration for this talk…
"I wanted to write a geography
book for people who wouldn't
normally read a geography book.
"I also wanted to try and get to
the heart of why Sheffield was
such a great place to live. I've
thought the city is one of the best-
kept secrets of Britain.
"I've had a go at exploring the
ingredients that make up the city
and contribute to it being such a
great place to live”.

You’d come down from Fargate with the wind
in your hair,
You’d go down escalator ‘cos they didn’t have
no stairs,
It were too far,
For your tired legs,
With your nannan,
Walking through ‘oyl in t’ road.
