By 1900 the population of Sheffield was over 400,000. This was partly due to boundary changes. In 1921 the boundaries were extended to include Handsworth and Wadsley. In 1935 they were altered to include Totley, Dore, Beauchief and Greenhill.Sheffield University was founded in 1905.The first cinema in Sheffield was built in 1910.In 1916 Sheffield was bombed by zeppelins leaving 28 people dead.After World War I the heavy industries of Sheffield entered a recession. There was severe unemployment in the city in the 1920s and 1930s. However that era also marked the beginning of large-scale slum clearance. The first council houses were built in Sheffield at that time.Graves Art Gallery opened in 1934.During World War II 589 people were killed in Sheffield by German bombing.
