Rare proof that Sheffields industrial architecture can be saved and isn't it wonderful to see.

We were with her at end and due to the skill and compassion of everyone on the unit, she was utterly at peace.

1978 and Sheffield United shake hands on a deal to sign 17 year old Diego Maradona for £150,000. The story goes later that night there was a visit from figures claiming to be from the Argentinian military requested a matching fee to allow Diego to sign and the deal was off.

Had a walk down Fargate today, it really is a sad shadow of its former life as Sheffields no.1 shopping street. Personally, I think decades of using it as a tacky temporary events space for fairs and markets devalued the space,hopefully the latest plans change things

At the Somme, the Sheffield City battalion, on 1 July, at 7.20 am 1916, the battalion moved into No Man's Land. In the memorable words of John Harris: "Two years in the making. Ten minutes in the destroying. That was our history."

It will continue to post about all areas of this city. Racist responses will be blocked. What is a real Sheffielder anyway ?
My dad's side came from E.Yorks in 1830's, my mums from Ireland c.1900. People have been coming here for 100's of year to make a small town a big city

My little mates get me up and out every day. They kiss away my tears and greet me when I come home. Life would be unbearable without them.
When Karen was slipping away, in Weston Park, she was still kept putting her hand down and stroking the air as if they were there.

Good morning Sheffield. I took a photograph on East Parade yesterday, must be 6 times now I have tried to match the old pic and get the angle wrong every time. I think I need to lay on the floor towards the churchyard. Perhaps they moved the gateposts ?

The Lyceum theatre had followed the well worn story of steady decline into almost total dereliction. Permission was requested to pull it down, but it somehow stumbled on, until vision, belief (and a huge investment) transformed the building and secured its future

During the 1898–99 season Sheffield Wednesday were told that the land rented at Olive Grove would be needed for railway expansions.The 1st match at their new ground was played in 1899. The ground was known as the Owlerton Stadium until 1914, when it was renamed Hillsborough

They say “We can’t do that. We’re not Amsterdam.” You respond “Amsterdam wasn’t always like that either,” showing before & after transformations illustrating that cities we admire made CHOICES. They make more tired excuses. Don’t accept them. (1e van der Helststraat, 1978 & 2005)
