Gang wars research guide

The guide at the bottom of the page lists sources for the study of the inter-gang rivalry and confrontation in 1920s Sheffield popularly referred to as the Sheffield Gang Wars. The booklet does not offer a detailed description of this period in the city’s history, but rather highlights for the reader who wishes to carry out their own research what is available within Sheffield Archives & Sheffield Local Studies Library.
