kevcookie Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 The fountain thing has been done and frankly it was always disappointingly turned off due to nutters putting soap powder in etc. Perhaps a statue of some sort that would mean something to the current people of sheffield? Or something similar that could grab kids attention. Wish the wheel could have stayed it looked good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
