The Smallpox epidemic in Sheffield 1887 - An update

 Many years ago I posted an article to the site relating to the the Smallpox epidemic in Sheffield 1887 

Since then I have added additional information. In January 2026 I was approached by a reporter from BBC Radio Sheffield asking if I would make a contribution to BBC Sounds  - Secret South Yorkshire.

They wanted the contribution to be centred on the smallpox epidemic in Sheffield in 1887. And so a cold Monday afternoon on Barber Place Sheffield the contribution was made
