It is where farmers from out laying areas met to trade animals and other goods , It was later called A MARKET . Cities World wide are proud of their market areas it is where visitors head for . Ours the one that proper Sheffielders loved and met in ,!!!!!!!has been destroyed so as a pile of rubble can be gazed at by millions of tourists , Can not wait to see the coaches lining up out side the Bull and mouth . Jesus, how much I hate that phrase. The arrogance of some people that somehow only a certain category of residents can be classed as 'proper Sheffielders'. What a load of bull. The vast majority of sheffielders couldn't give a flying toss about the 'historic trading site' or some alleged location of where the first point of the market originated from. The castle remains itself, which I feel much more worthy of legacy and preservation, was buried underground to build that ugly concrete monstrosity of Castle Market and no one gave a toss about that did they. All people will ever remember is ugly concrete blocks of Sheaf, Castle Market and the crappy office tower stuck on top of it. They were run down dumps for decades and not that much better when they were in their prime. They were seedy dirty spaces filled with delinquents hanging around the pee soaked galleries with their rows of empty shop units. That was the reality. You are deluded. They were not mirroring Covent Garden or The Grand Bazaar of Istanbul. They were not set in some charming Victorian arcade. It was a crap hole that most of Sheffield has been happy to see the back of. Lest we also forget the blindingly obvious fact that at the time of its closure , shopping had been moving to the opposite end of the city centre it was therefore making sense to move it to a brand new fit for purpose building in the right location.... You know, one where the shoppers actually are. Go and get therapy or something. You really need to get over it as it's been over a decade.
