discodown Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The old site was the Market site Sheffielder's have traded there for a thousand years and then!!!!!!!!!!!!! along came the new Town Planners and Sheffield historians who decided that a pile of use less rubble would be more use full than a historical trading area. Its good that you've learned to live with it and don't keep going on about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECCOnoob Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) When they admit that they have dropped the biggest gooly ever dropped in the planning history of my City , I will shut up. Its not just YOUR city. Its everyone's. You are preaching as if you are owed some duty that it should have been kept. Who do you think actually owes you an apology? Not everyone is on the same side as you. In fact I would say that the majority of people didn't want to keep seeing the eyesore that was Castle Market nor Sheaf Market nor any of the states before those. Times move on. Many people quite frankly could not give a toss about your so called "historic market trading area". That's a nice picture and story for the history books Now its 2015. The entire world's shopping habits changed. The purposes of city centres changed. The whole purpose of a market has changed. It is no longer, and has not been for at least 5 decades, the main source that people buy their provisions from. The whole range of competitors have sprung up since that once historic trading area. People have voted with their feet and have been steadying increasing that vote for years. Markets that have survived have to adapt. offer something totally different to a supermarket. You really need to get over yourself. Your comments are so repetitive and nonsensical they are becoming totally worthless. Look around at other city centres that have managed to have a revival. What do you notice? Shopping has been centralised. Shopping has been made into a "mall" type environment. Big brands. Big names. Sleek, modern environments. These are complimented by selective boutiques, handmade or bespoke trades that includes specialist foods, drinks or products. If Sheffield was to stand half a chance it had to move things together and try to attract those types of independent traders. Castle Market or any patch job alternative stuck at the wrong end of town just wont do. The days of starting off nipping into Woolies on Haymarket, bargain hunting around Sheaf Market, wandering in and out everywhere before finally having a High Tea Special in Atkinsons Restaurant through are well and truly over. Nobody wants that. Nobody is doing that. Why can you not accept that. Offices and Apartments are coming and you aint gonna stop it. Maybe you will be happy if they put a blue plaque or even better a mausoleum just for you to go and grieve in once a week.

I was under the impression that the done thing was to answer the post ,not attack the poster. As to your high end shops,big names,big brands, nice apartments etc then take a walk around Barnsley, Doncaster and Chesterfield all traditional Market areas and all thriving due to those traditional places. If you think that Sheffield will ever rival Manchester ,Leeds etc then you are dreaming . So I hope I have answered your post in a civilised and constructive manner reciprocation would be appreciated . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidley Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Will Sheffield ever be as good as Doncaster market, it has been voted the best market in the country in 2015 as well. outdoor markets are what attract people, not the communist style market block at the bottom of the moor. http://www.visitdoncaster.co.uk/shopping/Doncastermarket.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This policy will fail as we are the biggest village in England and no amount of trying to be a big hitter will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidley Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Some people will think i am exaggerating but this is true. in the sixties sheffield boasted that there was only one city with more shops in the city and that was London. Also there was only one Town/city which had more Christmas decoration and lights and that was Blackpool Just to clarify statment one the shops (i mean proper shops) ran from before the wicker arches right down to the bottom of the more, not to mention London and Abbydale road.
