ABOUT THIS SITE

Sheffieldist.co.uk uses video journalism, still photography and written text to explore, document and record aspects of life in the fine English city of Sheffield.

The categories listed on the side-bar will give an idea of what you might find – though I hope you find delight or at least enlightenment once you arrive at any particular post.

This promo clip kind of sums it up:

A settler hailing originally from Scotland, my name is Russell Cavanagh and I’ve been based in Sheffield for nearly two decades.

So I suppose I’m a Sheffieldist, rather than a native Sheffielder, because I positively choose to live and work here.
