roughy101 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 the club never stood a chance once bar 24 bought the property,there were others who wanted to take on the club but the option wasnt given,i for one hope the council refuse planning permission,the traffic on wadley lane dykes lane and dykes hall rd are bad enough at peak times without adding to it:rant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalman Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Whether it's been burnt down for profit or whether it's been burned down simply because it's an empty building and there are plenty of people in Sheffield who seem unable to resist setting light to empty buildings is irrelevant now. I think the end result will be the same though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 How long has it been a club ? The photo below is from 1950 and it looks to have been one then. Built in 1822 it's one of the oldest surviving buildings in Wadsley but wouldn't surprise me if it now gets bulldozed. http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/picturesheffield.pl?_cgifunction=form&_layout=picturesheffield&keyval=sheff.refno=y02118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Fires aren't the end of the world for listed buildings - that's what insurance is for. Here's one that burned down and got rebuilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually sad to see these clubs go though - they were really good for bringing communities together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorSHarp Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Can anyone remeber when the Bay City Rollers played at the Dial and around 200 police officers had to atttend the place due to a massive punch up? I remember going into the dial on boxing day night for a good few pints and entertainment with my mates, it was chock a block back then. I pass this place every day and will miss it if it does get raised to the ground. I'll try to get some more pics of it tomorrow and post them on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
