kirky Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Originally posted by jake I think the Police cut Niche a bit of slack because its out of the way a bit - but I dont think a place in the city centre would keep its license for for too long if it had the amount of bother Niche has had over the years. But as Andy say - considering the amount of cash thats being spent doing up the "gateway" to Sheffield - it amazing Roxy's is being allowed to stay up & not getting demolished. (They must have being doing serious amounts of drugs in the 70s to even think that monstrosity was a suitable buidling for the city centre...) what were they on when designing the popular music place near the howard then:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy C Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 The NCPM didn't close due to the strange architecture, it was because the visitor attraction was awful! (Although Mojos bar wasn't bad!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy78 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 The ex-NCPM is a unique building and I for one am glad it's in sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5_HATS Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Roxy's looks like a huge public toilet, with two entrances, Male and Female. I would rather sever off my arm than go to that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iffypop Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 There's something about le ROXY that I just love. Dunno why. Its got as much charm as a big grotty white cube can get, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I suppose you COULD argue it was a breath-taking bit of late 1960's iconic design that was ahead of its time?..........then again......perhaps a weak argument to some. It was certainly a very modern building back in 1969 or thereabouts when it was built, and made everything else took totally grotty beside it. Sadly the reverse is now true.....

gregcdj Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 It is an eye sore.. I really dont know what good that will do to Sheffield. As for it appearance they could always put that modern looking pannelling on the side so it doesnt look so 70s. I mean... White tiles... ewwww Apart from that I say pull it down...
