razvanalbu Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 My missus called in today and said the only place queued out was the nail bar, I suppose the punters were on a lunch break and didn't have time to get to Meadowhall. Times move on, the younger generation shop online or make a day out with a visit to a cinema, a nice meal and leisurely shopping in a nice clean undercover enclosure. Almost all the outdoor Sunday markets have gone the way of the old Castle Market, soon there wont be enough of us "oldies" left to satisfy the needs for markets, sad, but a fact of life I'm afraid. Have you been to thorsby market? it is full of junk and fake junk , why would anyone want to buy rubblish like that:huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothybabe Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 maybe leeds have more polite people and not full of druggies and unemployed You have never been out of Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Why do people think Manpower services has blocked anything? Im not aware of there being substantial retail activity on the site where it is? Please provide a more detailed explanation. The decline of the Moor iirc and imo was much more to do with Meadowhall, recessions and the way people shop. If there was more money in Sheffield then they wouldnt have a problem finding investors and developers. One thing I have noticed recently has been all the out of town retail parks, which in conjunction with the supermarkets must have a big impact. Well according to Anna Glypta it stopped Londoners who'd travelled all the way up here from getting into Sheffield. So they all turned round and went back down south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scabbydog Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Why do people think Manpower services has blocked anything? Im not aware of there being substantial retail activity on the site where it is? Please provide a more detailed explanation.

One thing I have noticed recently has been all the out of town retail parks, which in conjunction with the supermarkets must have a big impact. In my opinion manpower building cut a major artery into Sheffield. It diverted folk from Ecclesall Road away from th Moor and blocked London Road. Both those roads have lively evening and daytime cafe culture which no longer spills over onto the Moor. I agree Meadowhall took large amounts of business away from the town centre. Perhaps those stores wouldn't have been so keen to move had the Moor not been mortally wounded. Meadowhall is where the shops and shoppers went. That isn't the same as the reason they left the city centre. Just look at the number of pubs, cafes, and restaurants on London Road and Eccelsall Road then count the number on the Moor.
