Abstract
Even if the scale of operations has greatly changed from the time that Huntsman discovered the crucible steel process, visitors that toured the Sheffield steelworks in 1993 often expressed the same feelings upon watching and experiencing the steel making process. However, conflicting impressions of the Steel City may now come about when looking into the images portrayed at the melting shop at Shepcote Lane. As the 1980s approached, local government made several key changes as Sheffield began to veer away from its image of being the Steel City. The decline in the steel industry was associated with transformations in politics which initiated a shift in the relationship between local and central government. This chapter explores the implications of the decline in the steel industry on the economy of the United Kingdom.
