zach Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Why do people get so attached to things? Remember Redgates, Woolworths & John Lewis, to name a few? All gone from town, but you're all still breathing. I'm not making excuses for what, IMO, is a terrible city centre. But times change. Oh, don't forget Banks, we used to have lots of those too! Mines on my phone but I do feel for some that never wanted, or intend to join the digital age. They are in for a big shock in years to come. (Not many years either, again, IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or happened when we lived in a cash only time? Fraud and theft have been around longer than us! In a lot of cases it's the account holder/person that's at fault, or falls for a scam.

How many banks in Sheffield in the 80's compared to today? I don't like the scum that robs people digatly any more than the next person. But the way we use money and the banking system will never go back to the way it was. Anyway...Back on topic - CO-OP's going, so have many others.

I'm surprised there isn't far more resistance, when you assess it fully, the digital world is not an improvement on what we had. some nice camera's in coop, watching ... before you even get through the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a totally new topic that I'd be happy to get involved in if you start one. Until then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Swaine Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Castle House was a splendid shopping centre. I remember the Christmas lights, the Grotto at Christmas and the brilliant cafe with views all over Sheffield. It was very handy for those who were disabled or infirm, as they could browse and buy upstairs, come down stairs and do some grocery shopping and be in a taxi in the rank outside without getting wet.
