Albert smith Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Do you think you count as a proper Sheffielder by Albert's lights? Unless you've worked in a melting shop, just like he never has, then unlikely I'm afraid.

Was ,my wrists knees and back now knackered ,Most of my work around Town has now been demolished by the idea that the brutalism of the 50's and 60's must be destroyed one day people will ask on forums like this why ,just as we have asked why so many Victorian and Georgian buildings in OUR City have vanished in the name of progress or!!! greed.

ads36 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) I've nothing against this 'grey to green' proposal, (apart from the cost,) but I fail to see the point unless it's joined up to something. It seems to be just a very expensive patch of grass stuck in the middle of nowhere. That's the point, it'll join up with : the existing and future grey-to-green phases, the knowledge gateway, the canal basin, the 5 weirs walk, the developing kelham/don valley route(s), the old town hall and legal quarter, etc. etc. It's very much NOT an isolated patch of grass in the middle of nowhere.

Its great ,lets hope that some of the money can be spread out into other areas of Our City that are perhaps not as in your face as the posh little corridor around Kelham and the legal districts.

*_ash_* Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 This area is being regenerated as most will know. I've tried google, looked on the SCC website and found hundreds of pages of pretty drawings, and whatnot. However, I can't find a road layout drawing. Anyone know the site well to link me it please?

Reesh2052 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 The area around the old Castle Market? If so it's taking forever. The amount of drug addicts down there is ridiculous. They need to completely board it up and close it off so nobody has to witness them injecting and smoking crack etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or its an archaeological site. The contractors will be legally obliged to proceed with caution, and to stop work if (when) they uncover something.
