About This Event

On Tuesday 1 December, the Showroom Cinema will host a fascinating talk by Mike Collins of the Sheffield Hospitals History group. Collins will delve into the notorious Sheffield lead poisoning scandal, a dark chapter in the city's past. His presentation will specifically explore the devastating impact of lead contamination in the local water supply, a crisis that plagued Sheffield residents between 1885 and 1900. This historical examination promises to shed light on the causes, consequences, and perhaps even the eventual resolution of this significant public health emergency. The evening's proceedings are scheduled to commence at 7:30pm, and attendees can secure their place for a modest fee of £6.13.
