WalkleyIan Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Why not just demolish it and build something else? The University has already taken a big hit with the Jessop Hospital site development and demolishing a Sheffield icon is probably seen as one step too far for them (Im only guessing here, I don't have inside info although we all knew something was happening) I guess this is their plan to sweeten the pill when the University Arms goes in the campus master plan. Ill be interested to see the plans for the new pub as the whole beer garden area was the best part of the University Arms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Arthur Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Why not just demolish it and build something else? Only in Sheffield could a building in which a local condiment used to be made be held up as a beacon of what the city is all about. No wonder Leeds is miles ahead.

No wonder Leeds is miles ahead. Exactly. It's not a great building and it's lost its meaning since Hendersons relocated. To pretend that the building is still Hendersons and part of our culture and is so fake. To call it 'iconic' is meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest makapaka Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Only in Sheffield could a building in which a local condiment used to be made be held up as a beacon of what the city is all about. No wonder Leeds is miles ahead. Who holds it up as "a beacon of what the city is all about"? I don't know anyone who does that or seen anything said as such in the media. It's just part of the heritage and people are interested in it. Equating Leeds economic success with people's views on the hendersons building - don't be daft.

To pretend that the building is still Hendersons and part of our culture and is so fake. To call it 'iconic' is meaningless. It is iconic, for over a. Hundred years it's something we've been known for, and it should be kept as a part of our heritage Personally speaking whenever I was in Sheffield I'd nip up west st and have a peek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdv1 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Or are they 'replacing' the Uni Arms that is slated for demolition in the new plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
