This KS2 local history workshop explores the story of Sheffield’s historic Police and Fire Station and why it was such an innovative idea to bring different emergency services together in one building. Pupils will discover how the building was used, who worked there and what life may have been like within its walls. Dating from the early 1900s, the building is full of stories, lessons and characters that help children understand how Sheffield developed and how public services have changed over time. Through local history, discussion and enquiry, the session brings the building’s past to life in a meaningful and memorable way.
