Meet Dr Kathleen Roberts 😍 Born in Firth Park, left school at 14, became a Woman of Steel at 17, got #Sheffield that statue at 90, an honorary @sheffielduni doctorate at 100 and used her speech to encourage girls into engineering. The best day for the most extraordinary friend❤️

- Today approx 4,500 secondary school kids in #Sheffield are at home unable to join online classes because they have no laptop. The future unfairness of the digital divide is catastrophic. If you have an unused device you could donate, please help ltfk.co.uk
- What a phenomenal job Sheffield's emergency services are doing right now, battling to keep us safe as the rain just keeps coming. Don't forget, it's only two days since they were pelted with fireworks in our city. Let's say thanks and show much deserved respect.
- Today's @SheffieldStar introduces our youngest ever Lord Mayor (in post from tomorrow). Born in Somalia, shaped in Sheffield, so full of enthusiasm and Steel City pride that you can’t help but smile.
- The Thorntons family's first ever shop - the Chocolate Kabin - opened 110 years on the corner of Howard Street and Union Street #Sheffield This is assistant Ivy Clow outside the store. It became a national success but is now closing all stores. Sad times thestar.co.uk/business/consu…
- Just a reminder The Leadmill rose from a derelict flour mill as a response to the lack of cultural facilities in #Sheffield It was never meant to be about money but helping young musicians through a non profit making cooperative supported by the council. Much has changed!
- The morning after the sunny day before. Come on Sheffield, surely we can do better than this? #EndcliffePark
- When three of the England team were born, bred and trained in Sheffield, does anybody know why we're one of the few places that isn't organising a big screen in the city centre for the final? There's still time, pretty please @SheffCouncil
- An absolute flipping disaster for Sheffield. My heart goes out to all the staff there. What will be left to return to in our city centre when this is all over?😭 thestar.co.uk/business/consu…
- When sun and snow collide over the Steel City. Funny old weather this week #Sheffield
- A woman was raped in Endcliffe Park yesterday. Police are investigating. I know we're all rightly furious about the litter and the war memorial being vandalised but please be more angry about this #Sheffield
