Question

This is the city most associated with artisans called “little mesters.” In 1743, Thomas Boulsover (-5[1])discovered that copper could be fused with silver to produce a material now called “old [this city] plate.” Because he first synthesized it in this city in 1882, mangalloy is sometimes named for Robert Hadfield. In 1867, locations in this city like Sandygate hosted a competition that used a set of guidelines called this city’s “rules.” (15[1])In the 1740s, Benjamin Huntsman helped establish (-5[1])this city’s primary industry by inventing the (*) crucible process. (10[1])This city’s (-5[1])working class citizens (-5[1])are the subjects of the films Threads (-5[1])and The Full (-5[1])Monty. In 1857, a solicitor (-5[1])for a silver company co-founded the world’s oldest football club in this city. (10[1]-5[1])A 1913 discovery by Harry Brearley enabled this home city of Henry Bessemer to produce (-5[1])stainless cutlery. For 10 points, name this “Steel City” in Yorkshire. ■END■ (10[3]0[9])
