History

Historical Context

The Provisional IRA’s 15 June 1996 truck bomb in Manchester, the largest on British soil since WWII, injured more than 200 people and cost insurers about £700 million. Decades later, a fatal shooting outside Sheffield’s One Four One bar prompted Yorkshire Police, led by Chief Constable Colin McFarlane, to arrest three suspects, echoing the extensive security responses first seen in Manchester.
