Hello, my name is Kevin. I'm a retired police sergeant, I also have experience working within the criminal justice system at the Sheffield Combined and Family Courts.. As a police officer I spent a number of years 'pounding the beat' in Sheffield city centre. I also worked as a shift and custody sergeant. I grew to be fascinated with Sheffield's history of people and places .especially the more 'dark' side of that history. I have organised walking tours for my colleagues at the courts and now I have fully retired I have designed this tour. I'm a born and bred 'Sheffielder', a lover of Guinness and a passionate Sheffield Wednesday supporter. So, come and join me on the beat, lets walk and talk together as we open up some of Sheffield's forgotten past. Looking forward to meeting you.
We are a family of 4 with 2 teenage children. Kevin is a great guide and story teller. His tour offers a history of the city largely through the lens of the criminal underworld. Kevin's knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject shines through. We enjoyed the tales of the murky goings on.
Excellent tour. Kevin is very wise on Sheffield history and is passionate about the stories he talks about. Would recommend this tour to any local or tourist visiting.
