Walkley has been thrust onto the frontline of the flag culture war.

The sleepy neighbourhood is normally better known for pottery exhibitions and horticultural shows, but on Sunday descended into bitterness and acrimony, with police being called out twice.

We find out who raised the flags and why.

“I think everyone deserves access to beauty.”

In the 1950s and 60s, Sheffield was at its industrial height. It was a wealthy and vibrant place and was looking to the future with confidence and optimism.

The beautiful, innovative buildings constructed during that time are a legacy of that optimism.

‘If you don’t like brutalism you dwell on its decline. But it was designed to make people’s lives better’

For 36 years, Dave Walker has watched over the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal, managing water levels and guiding boats down to the River Don.

Exclusive: Derbyshire Police have reopened an investigation into historic sexual offences at Mount St Mary's college, the private Catholic school near Sheffield that shut down in July.

The Tribune understands that 16 people, including four lay staff, have told the Jesuits in Britain they were abused at the school between the 1950s and 80s, although one victim believes the true figure is much higher.

He told his story to The Tribune in the hopes of encouraging more people to come forward, explaining that the abuse he suffered left him suicidal for many years. “It cost me the career I could have had, the marriage I could have had — I still can’t be intimate with women.”

You can read the full story, which contains details of sexual abuse some readers may find distressing, here:

“I don’t want avocado on toast with a poached egg that’s not really poached. Give me a sausage sarnie any day.”

Once a staunchly working class area, Hillsborough is changing.

But among all the new Danish bakeries and micro-pubs, is there still a place for the old greasy spoons and basic boozers?

Hillsborough is becoming cool. Is that a problem?

It’s one of Sheffield's most visible problems: bins.

So, what’s going wrong here? We investigate for today’s edition of Sheffield’s Big Questions.

“Like everyone we just want to move on.”

A year ago The Tribune reported from Wath-upon-Dearne as the small South Yorkshire town experienced some of the worst racial violence this country has ever seen.
