PopT Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I was told that the concrete sub station on Charter Row was specially designed so that in case of an explosion the roof which is weaker than the reinforced walls would lift off skywards. I hope this info makes everyone feel safer as they pass this monstrous looking effigy to the power board. I certainly do not feel any safer but then I will be a million miles away.

Phanerothyme Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 That figures . What made you resurrect an 8 year old thread in order to add two words to it? I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arfer Mo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 A recent thread on the forum about tunnels diverged a bit into the area of mysterious and sinister buildings around Sheffield. Let's start a new thread on the subject! I'll start the ball rolling by asking if any one knows what that great concrete block of a building at the bottom of Charter row is? the one without any windows, just vertical slots in the walls. Any suggestions l believe it houses entrance to undergound tunel leading to the once Shewsbury Hospital[a shot in the dark:hihi::] there is someone in the t]Town Hall has a key ARFER MO PS NOT LIVING IN SHEFILD for a god many years whereabouts is the bot of Charter row?

lauz2901 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The old house (formerly a school clinic) on Broughton Road Owlerton was alwaysa a mysterious house to me, particularly when I saw a ghost there when I was a kid. The place was empty for years, I wonder what happened to it these days. Is there anyone out there that knows anything about the place? Happy Days! same as what happens to all lovely buildings property developers. It got converted into appartments about 7 years ago:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
