crookesey Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Had Oliver Cromwell not ordered the castle’s demolition Adolf Hitler would very likely have obliged. It amuses me that SCC are getting excited about a few stones, whilst they could have done far more to preserve the likes of Manor Castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After which, no-one will be allowed to touch anything... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s all the info so far from the archaeologists: https://www.wessexarch.co.uk/our-work/sheffield-castle 1 1 Sheffield Forum | The Sheffield Guide | The Sheffield Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll always find something in an area that once housed castle and a population, however failing the something being treasure galore I tend to agree with you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
