parcher Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 When I go to work on the 21, heading into town, I pass a little road off Granville Road which has several really big houses with big grounds in front of them. One of them has been boarded up for at least the last 2 years. Does anyone know what it was and why it is boarded up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerbarf Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 i used to walk passed it every day for over a year and it was boarded up then.. (that was over five years ago) dont know what it is or was though sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 If it's the house I'm thinking about it is owned by the council and has been boarded up for over 15 years. I may have to go and have a look though as I find it rather difficult to believe that a property like this boarded up or not would of survived the ravages of time and the mindless yob mentality. I suspect a walk for maxx is coming up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerbarf Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 if it's the one i passed every day i think it's on the little triangle opposite the Norfolk park entrance!! I too am surprised that it hasn't succumb to the local chav's of the area then again i think most of the houses around the area are student flats due to the size of them, Altough students can be drunken fools but i dont think they are into ruiining beautiful houses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parcher Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 Yes, that is the house. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. Odd as you say that the local yobs haven't destroyed it though. I hate seeing houses like that one simply abandoned. Just doesn't seem right somehow. I wonder what it is like inside ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blademan Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 if i remember rightly there used to be a quite old merc parked outside/near the house. all i know though - 15 years??? with no damage??? GOBSMACKED:shocked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richynomates Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 if it's the one i'm thinking of, did it not used to be offices for some insurance company? it also has an entrance on norfolk road where you can see its ugly extension? if so - they moved out in about 1995, and it's been empty ever since..

desy Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 This is were I feel old I think it was the home of one of Sheffield former senior council figures Alderman Sidney Dyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parcher Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 The ugly extension is on the house next to it - quite spoils the character, doesn't it. What is inside it, Chloe? I am dead curious about this house, as you can see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
