City of Sheffield
The city of Sheffield, which has a population of over half
a million, forms the core of the Metropolitan Borough of Sheffield, in Northern England. The present boundaries date from

county of South Yorkshire. Sheffield became a unitary authority in 1986 when
South Yorkshire lost its administrative status, becoming purely a ceremonial
county. Until 1974, Sheffield was a county borough and part of the West
Riding of Yorkshire.
