I was told by Mr Dreadful on his ghostwalk that when they pedestrianised it in 1997 and were digging, they discovered graves underneath..surely Mr Dreadful can't be wrong?

Then you should choose your ghost walk guides more carefully in future.

Speaking of redevelopment, and so I don't have to bother with a new thread for a quick couple of questions... I saw this thread on Twitter.  I left Sheffield years and years ago.  So, where's this in town?:

 

 

 

And this?  Looks a bit like the back of Debenhams on the left:

@Hecate I don't know about the first image - maybe Twitter users need to add a bit of info to pictures?

 

The second one is taken at the bottom of Pinstone Street, going up the side of (what was) Debenhams towards Charter Row.

Think the first image is looking up Trafalgar Street (from Wellington St?)

Cheers,  @Martin C. I don't spend much time in the city centre, so was unsure.

Aha!  Yes, it's clear now.  Thanks! I've just had a look on Google Maps and compared it to images on Picture Sheffield.

Do you know what that building is?  Looks like flats but not clear.

It is flats, and goes by the name of Kangaroo Works. Tesco are opening in one of the retail spaces on the ground floor.

They should make The Moor Sheffields high street and change Fargate to bars and restaurants

 

It's perfect because it's already pedestrianised

Thanks!  Just been having a look.  Reminds me a bit of the new Birmingham Uni library, but less garish and more gulag.
