The Surprising
Residents Of Randall
Street In 1891 - it's
not all metal!
Presented by John
Chapman
Wednesday 18th August
2021 from 7 to 8pm
Note: this is a 'hybrid'
event. A limited number
of in person tickets are
available for the
Makerspace and in
addition tickets for the

streaming.
Little Sheffield in 1891
was predominantly
occupied by metal
workers in various
forms. However other
occupations lived
amongst them. Where did
the come from? And how
did they live?
This talk has a quick
look at the history of
the English census, and
then at what the 1891
census can tell us about
the occupants of Randall
Street. Randall St was
typical of the area and
gives us a good
cross-section of
working-class society at
the time. We will also
look at the lives of a
few individuals employed
at Portland works, and
how the census can build
a picture of their lives
and struggles.
There will be an
opportunity for the in
person audience to ask
questions at the end of
the lecture. The live
stream audience can also
submit a question at the
end.
