sycamore66j Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 if you go to picture sheffield.com and go to the pics of tinsley viaduct, you will find photos of the meadowhall site how it was in 1963 ( steelworks) and 1990 (shopping center ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensonhedges Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Wasn't the site where Meadowhall was built, supposed to have been a prison??? Urban myth. They were supposedly able to turn it into a prison if it didn't work out as a shopping centre, given vague credence by the layout of the place. Absolute rubbish, obviously, but it seems to have stuck in the Sheffield conciousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
