gemini 132 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I was just being over sentimental I think on that day, it was the shock of seeing it like it was, I just wasnt expecting it. I havent lived in Sheffield for years so foolishly I just thought all would be the same. Of course you cannot have a church like that with out any people there, lucky I have loads of memories.

Odd Job Man Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 SI attended St Vincents in 1961 Its Last Year as 11plus school then went on to St Pauls As most of you have said they are good memories. I have not noticed in all the messages a mention of the late Brouther Smith what a man. I dont think St Vincents would have been the same with out him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewickerman Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) I wasn't suggesting the buildings be used as a church or school. Those buildings are on premium land and could easily net the Diocese a pretty penny just by being let out. Given it's consecrated land, any use other than religious/ community purposes would be objectionable though. Am suprised the University haven't eyed it all up yet. Maybe they have. I don't know. Certainly NOT progress by the Diocese in the last 20 years, that's for sure! Edited July 19, 2009 by Thewickerman sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Job Man Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The reason that they have done nothing with it the carigng church are drawing parking fees that add up to alot of money for their purse. As usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him telling me as a 9 year old or thereabouts, "You'll soon be earning a £100 a week!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roorah99 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 As for the car park- they are still paying off the new church building. It is all going to a good cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
