You are missing the point.

Doubt it, you repeat the same point almost weekly, at length

that's a reasonable starting point.

 

here's an actual conversation i had on Fargate, a couple of weeks ago:

 

Her : i don't like all this change, there's too much change, it's not the real Sheffield that i remember.

 

Me : i'm sorry to hear that. Have you been down to Castlegate? - i think that's the idea they're going for up here.

 

Her :  oh yes! it's really nice! they should do more like that.

 

Me : (internal screaming)

It is nothing to do with clinging to the past but simply that they do not fit in and in my opinion look a mess.

Good food though.

.

And a trendy beer shop - got myself  half a dozen cans!

Castlegate was the centre of Sheffield shopping and commerce , It was the original meeting place when the City was formed where the Don   met its tributaries , 

It was a noisy , colourful area full of characters and character , all this has been ruined by some silly sods who call them selves Town Planners ,      The  not so wild flowers look fine but they will never replace what was lost in the rush to destroy Sheffields most important meeting place .

Look at the historic Street names , Exchange Street , Commercial Street and so on what other City would destroy history like that which has been obliterated in what at one time was OUR  most loved area .

Do you know that the tiling from those toilets ended up in the British Museum  as a example of sixties tiling works .

Get that not our own Museum but one in London . 

Stinks dunt it  or did 

Can you bring me that thread back up by any chance , It was stopped by Agent summat or other , Still these  suedo intellectuals always know best

The markets were a rotting mess and the whole area a blight.

Well overdue a makeover

I seem to remember there were lots of drunks around castle market area and often saw used needles on the street.  The big Wilkinsons was good but It seemed to be mostly betting shops, slot machines, Pawnbrokers,  and dodgy pubs.
