Community/ arts - Street art in Sheffield. Good v. bad, personal opinions etc
Primary Sources: Personal accounts, interviews,
Secondary Sources: Archive pictures and articles


The article i have chosen to pursue is the sporting possibilities in Sheffield and more specifically the rapidly growing mountain biking scene within the district. I chose this because it allows for in depth research using a variety of sources and techniques, both primary and  secondary. Most, noticeably the use of a primary definer such as Steve Peat would result in great interest in the article for the local audience. This would have greater appeal to a local audience as this sporting personality was born in the Sheffield area and is famous for competing both nationally and internationally, with the winning titles in both national, European and world championships. This sporting personality also relates directly to both Sheffield and its monumental sporting moments.This article would also be relevant as it would appeal not only to the local audience but also a diverse audience with a readership from variety of all ages and occupations due to the article planning to cover a range of activities and aspects of Sheffield's history and now future.
