geared Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 They were looking to get government and private money to do the entire thing I think? This is just initial cash to get work underway and start the archaeological dig at the old castle. Hopefully this development will provide incentive to regenerate other areas in the vicinity bringing them back to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacklev1 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Will they be wanting volunteers to help in the dig at castles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samssong Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 William Moss and sons dug down thirty foot in 1960 while building the Castle Market. They found a dead dogs skeleton and a rusty chastity belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsf7 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have lived in Sheffield off and on for twenty years and never been down to Exchange Street - it's like another city entirely. They should never have build the castle market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutch Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Exchange st. has just a little tobacco cigar lottery shop run by real sheffielders and it closes at 2 PM, closed sunday. A furniture recycle place that is often closed. Sometimes walk from tram to hilton quay, it has new clean road surfaces and often not see one person out there, not even the homeless hang out there. It is a nice and quiet place, relaxing stress-free without being bombarded by commercial advertising. Edit: still have two old classic historic phoneboxes there.
