Ron is a proud Sheffielder and is extremely knowledgeable about local history.

Councillor Sylvia Dunkley

Current Lord Mayor Of Sheffield

I’d like to say a big thank you on behalf of the international students you took on a guided walk around Sheffield. They loved your witty commentary and you showed them things they never would have noticed otherwise. It’s one of the most popular sessions on our British Life and Culture module and they all think you’re great, (even if they don’t like Henderson’s Relish!)

Judith

University Lecturer

On behalf of the 10 to 1 club, it is my pleasure to endorse your history tours of which we have had the pleasure of your company on several different occasions. Always entertaining and informative, your knowledge of Sheffield is amazing. On our latest tour we ended up at the Old Queen’s Head and a unique landlord’s welcome which rivalled the open fire on a snowy day.

Monica Murray

10 to 1 Sheffield Walking And Social Group

Ron, I want to say a BIG thank you for your guided tour of Sheffield last Sunday, we had a wonderful insight into your town & the group were very happy to see everything.

James Edwards

Now the dust has settled slightly I just want to say a big thank you for running the fascinating walk around Sheffield and sharing your knowledge of Sheffield’s Tudor and Stuart history. The biggest thrill for me was seeing the remains of Sheffield Castle. Everyone on the walk seemed to really enjoy it and gain something from it. We could probably have sold the walk twice over. Thank you again for your contribution which helped to make the Highlighting History weekend so successful

Su Walker

I have not had a chance to thank you for your event as part of the food festival. It was really interesting and the audience enjoyed it very much indeed. I thought giving people pictures worked really well. Thank you very much for doing that event for us

Lesley

Many thanks on behalf of all those who attended the trip around last Thursday. I’ve had very positive feedback and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, and didn’t realise what they had missed and was virtually under their noses. It sounds like they’ll be up for another dose later in the year.

Mike Hensman

You brought the city alive for us – with your eye for detail, knowledge of history and communication skills you ought to be on TV.

Leo Stevenson

Martin K Goodman

Sheffield Enthusiast

Very much enjoyed the tour on Saturday!

Carolyn Waudby

Writer and Lecturer

Thanks very much for your interesting and informative tour of Sheffield. The conference delegates really enjoyed seeing the town and learning some of its history. Having lived in West Yorkshire most of my life, it was great to learn so much about a town so close but about which I knew so little.

Chris Hunt

Hi Ron, Thank you for the write up in the Star! I have to say my partner, who was also involved in the project, but whom you never met, is miffed he didn’t get a mention!

Cora

Hi Ron,Lovely comments Ron-means a lot to me when your Friends and colleagues recognise your work and you more than others. It has made my day. By the way my 2 daughters have spread the word around social media how proud they are of their Dad-that brought a tear to my eyes. All in all it has been a wonderful week and so glad I persevered through thick and thin to complete it.All the best and sincere thanks once again
