Now it's knackered and needs demolishing, agreed, but a pity it has got to that point.. The incorporation of older buildings/facades into new schemes (Pinstone/Cambridge St for example) adds to those new schemes in my opinion. Let’s not got all nostalgic about the market tavern / it was a bin when it was open and it’s an unsafe bin now it’s been left for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited to looking at it online, but a great job has been done with that area. Much more attractive and historically sensitive than the dull collection of nondescript boxes and thoroughly ugly piles that have been mushrooming up of late. ETA: Had a browse. A couple of large orange sheds appear to have been plopped on top of the old buildings. What's that all about? Scroll down for picture.

The area is the historical market , trading and meeting area , the oldest in Sheffield . It has been destroyed by Town Planners and nut cases who think that Ivanhoe will rise from a buried Castle that does not exist . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a lot of time and money is being spent, and a lot of development held up, just to expose a few bits of wall, that won't form any sort of visitor attraction. Just record where they are, bury them in a way that doesn't destroy them and redevelop the site. Or sell the site and get private companies to do the redevelopment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
