HarrietStar Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 hi, I am a student at sheffield uni studying town planning. I'm doing an urban design project on the recently re-developed ward's brewery site. Does anyone have any information about the brewery site before it was closed or opinions on the development? thanks, Harriet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Rock Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Looks like offices on an industrial estate.... a mish mash of old and new architecture.....shudder. I've got the pub across the road from it. Call in an look at it through my windows while drinking beer. Makes it seem better after four or five Stellas.

kitch Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 well I've been in them, is pretty nice. The one I was in was quite small but v nicely done up. Kept getting locked out in the courtyard, which was a bit of a b*gger. Outside they look allright I think, could be made to look more like what they're meant to be, rather than just flats, made to look rather nice flats if u catch my drift?

HarrietStar Posted January 8, 2004 Author Share Posted January 8, 2004 haha i always wondered what the landlord of that pub thought of them! kitch - could you describe more of the inside - materials and fixtures and fittings? what is the layout of the flats like - are there long corridors or are the flats quite seperated? are the flats modern inside? how did the flat make you feel? also, does anyone know when the concierge guy is there? cos everytime i go he/she isnt there!
