HeadingNorth Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 February 1971, according to my book "Sheffield in the Seventies." I don't have an online source for that, but there must be one somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 The book shows barriers and a hefty "closed to traffic" sign being in place in February 1971. Perhaps it took a couple of years to actually relay the road as a pedestrian precinct... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Thompson Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks. I think 1971 is correct. Not sure about wiki's 1973! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks. I think 1971 is correct. Not sure about wiki's 1973!I left Sheffield in 1967 so I remember Fargate as being like the pic that sibon posted. By the time I returned in the mid-late 70s, it was as it is now.

Guest sibon Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I can remember it being pedestrianised, I was at Junior School (I put that bit in for Ruby:D). That would make it the early 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I started working at davys around 1971 and cannot remember any traffic going past at that time, can always remember the fountain being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
