No comment..

Quintain will have to re-apply for planning permission if they let the current permission expire, as you get 5 years in which to commence the work from the date of approval.

They can apply for an extension to the existing application before the time runs out, but if they don't do that, don't pin your hopes on anything happening there soon, as it'll cost them more to submit a new application...

I think the article is right about the requirements of the site changing. The prominent position of the site means that whatever stands there announces itself as being what the city is all about. At one time this was entertainment/leisure.

I don't think Sheffield's identity should be defined by a hotel. It doesn't make a statement. Unless you count 'Come and sleep here'!

Perhaps the site should end up being something like the Mailbox in Birmingham - with a Malmaison hotel and retailers such as Harvey Nichols.

Personally I'd like to see the Roxy revamped. It's the best laid out club I've ever been in, and should be brought back to the live venue it once was. Sheffield has lost it's identity as a mecca for music since the Manchester Sound thing.

What does anybody else think?

I was saying exactly the same when walking back from uni yesterday.

Maybe I'm just an old timer with fond memories of the place, but what a travesty that such a building, and such a large club is left like it is.

Get it re-opened. As Roxy's. and on opening night invite Pete Waterman, Michaela Strachan, and the rest of the hitman and her crew! :thumbsup:

It is such a shame that nothing has been done with this site.
IMO the council should give this site priority and sort the mess out which currently stands there.

Dear Forum-

We suggest that IKEA open a shop in the Roxy.

There's plenty of space etc. and we fully understand how IKEA stores operate :-/

Sheffield City Council.

Ugh! What about the traffic. Have you seen the queues to get into Ikea in Leeds on a Saturday? Do you plan to build an underground tunnel all the way from the M1 to the Ikea?

Why not build a new theatre? then the Snooker Championships can move across the road to a bigger, better venue!:clap: no fear of any other cities nicking it.

You could have a hotel and souvenir shops etc and you'd fit tons more people into it then you get in the Crucible.

Good idea, but as snooker's not everybody's cup of tea, do we really want 'Snooker' to be Sheffield's identity? Perhaps if it were part of a complete leisure complex?

Edit: Sorry Lestat, I assumed you were suggesting that the new year-round snooker venue we're supposed to be putting forward would go there.

How about top slicing the building so leaving the car park underneath alone and having some sort of public square with trees, fountains art work etc.
You would get a lovely view of the Park Hill Flats although it might be a bit wind swept.
On 2nd thoughts still top slice the damb thing and use the space an extra Car Parking space.

But the big carpark should go at the end of the parkway - where they're planning to put more offices :loopy:

Just had another idea. The Council have been struggling with new uses for the Roxy for ages,and also struggling to find a new home for the Markets for years also, so why not kill to birds with the one stone and put the markets in the Roxy. Just an idea.

That would just sum up Sheffield's current image problem in the town centre. Let's just cast that in concrete then? 'Welcome to sheffield - home of dubious tat and last season's stock'

Markets in the roxy- oh god no!!!

this is a chance to remove an eyedore on the skyline of sheffield and build in its place something modern and useful!!!! make it stand out!!!

Hmm, I think it would be very hard to make the current building look good. The whole shape and design of it is extremely dated. As one of the first things that grabs your attention when coming out of the train station, it should be something that makes you go 'wow'! instead of something that makes you go 'urgh'!

A new asymmetric curved roof and a glass/stainless steel facade should do the trick

Edit: Changed my mind. It's current flat facade needs re-rendering to become a projector screen. The first thing visitors would see would be a 'mood' film highlighting the new image of Sheffield (whatever we've decided that should be)

That could work. Though I'm dubious about the use of stainless steel on buildings. Unless cleaned very frequently, it tends to stain funnily enough. See the NCPM; great building, but always looks like it needs a good scrub.

There has been this chance for the last ten years still has not happened though. I think they are just interested in the revenue from the car park below.

If you think about though putting the markets there would mean keeping the Chavs to that end of town and not moving them(well more of them) to the Moor as is the current suggestion.
The Bus service serves that end of town better which a lot of the pensioners use to get to the Markets and i know they are concerned about the Bus service provision at the Moor end of town.

And they could reclad the Roxy or as i will call it by its new name the Arundle Markets! in Gray as this would match the colours of Ponds Forge and the Hallam Uni Buildings

Just a thought.

Why not flatten the lot and make a huge green garden area with a pond, benches etc . . would look great to passengers going past on the buses! especially in the summer.

A nice idea, but the chances of the council losing out on the cash for a prime city centre location are slim.

"but we really need to wait for the situation with the Odeon to be resolved before we can go forward."

what situation are they talking about?

How about hollowing out the four sides of the building replacing them with four huge Glass windows and get Metris to market it as Sheffield's largest Apartment and I have even given it another name. The Cube.

Just a Thought.

I'm sure I remember going to a flea market in that building once, I might be confused though, I was young at the time.

knock down the roxy knock down the odeon.. lets have one big decent cinema (warner?) built in the city centre instead of having to travel to ugc all the time.

Some nice retail type thing would be nice - like a small mall - maybe glass roofed with small shops surrounding an indoor garden where a 'none-chav' style market could be held - like the continental market or farmers maket things we tend to have.

Its a really interesting construction - from the Roxy and the Odeon and the tiered area infront of both, right over the hill to the gallery thing above Flat Street. It's really underused, and really individual to Sheffield.

I've said this before, but I reckon they should put cablecars - or Scarborough style inclined railways - from Pond Street interchange area to the top of the Roxy - so at least our train station is actually connected to the city it serves.

Incoming visitors shouldn't have to slog up Howard Street to get into town.

Some sort of projection on the walls facing the train station would be great - a real 'Welcome to Sheffield' thing - it would be famous throughout the country.

It would be nice to exit from the shiny new entrance of the bus station to be greeted with something nicer than concrete legs and multicoloured shutters and a greasy spoon cafe.

A covered Escalator from Pond Street to Arundel Gate would not only provide a safe, suitable link between the two streets, but would also make changing buses easier as well, what with the new mini-interchange (on the cards) on Arundel Gate and all the bus stops alongside it.

I had hoped that when they closed the Arundel Gate subway, it would be for good.

The sooner that maze of steps and ramps is razed and replaced with something to reflect the growing confidence in Sheffield, the better.

Its a key site, almost the first things you see when arriving by train, and I think a landmark building should dominate this site.

Hallam Uni's Adsetts Centre is the only saving grace there at the moment

Wow... I'm not that old, but I distinctly remember that was exactly used to be there. The only trouble with public escalators is that they never work for all sorts of reasons. That's why they were removed.
:(

If you remember the old Tinterchange, there was a proper escalator and covered walkway from Tinterchange to Arundel Gate, it might have not aged well but we would have had a proper link. I like the company's original-but-never-going-to-happen plan of having a well lit and 24/7 manned walkway. It is a headin' having to walk accross the road when the council dismantled the footbridge a few months back.

I usually say no to everything, but I like the idea of building a new cinema instead of the Odeon, its too small, but it's convenient, so make it larger and screw UGC all the way out there in the sticks. Shops, why not, but NOTHING like that piece of shhhh like the Bullring, seen it, was distgusted, won't go there again.
Sheffield is Sheffield and we do things our way, not like the rest of nation's way.

Well put a clause on any development there that says they have to install and maintain escalators, then give them the land where the ugly ramps and stairs are now as extra incentive :D

A great idea Dinp, but totally unenforcable as a planning condition.

Regardless of how fast you maintain it and remove and repair vandalism every time a kiddie pushes a red button the whole thing just grinds to a halt.

The solution is simple - Erect hige signs at either end of the escalator stating that people use the thing at their own risk and if they are swallowed up, tuff schitt :D

(and get rid of the stop button)

Originally posted by dinp
(and get rid of the stop button) I've pushed the stop button on an escalator. A woman dropped something, and when she bent down, stuff started falling from the tray of the buggy (which shouldn't have been on an escalator in the first place), and the toddler she had in tow was starting to panic.

I pushed the button to prevent the baby sliding out of the buggy that it was upside down in.

I think the stop button should stay.

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows whats happening with the Roxy Nightclub at the present time? Is it closed?

It has been closed since about 1889 when the last church left it ..... heard vague rumours about people thinking of doing summat with it but I would imagine it would be too expensive to lease and do up and God(TM) knows what else ......

Did enjoy the rock nights on 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month though .....

It has been closed for many years now has been a church since but is now empty.The whole site including the Odean cinema was bought over 5 years ago by a property developer who promised to redevelop into hotel, bars, restaurants etc but according to council planning dept have yet to submit a detailed planning application.I think the council has recently met the developer but I do not know the outcome.

Originally posted by happyhippy

That's right, it is in fact the oldest discotheque in the world.

Not long ago I heard a rumour that a large clubbing organisation looked at redeveloping the venue, but as you might imagine the cost in doing so would be enormous. I think that's the reason it's been empty so long.

Its got some new looking signs up outside :S

Oldest by a mile ;) I think because of it's size alone it would take so long from starting to do it up, you would be thousands and thousands down before the place opened ..... nothing wrong with the year 1889 anyway .......

Thanks for all your replies, basically I am a student at Sheffield Hallam in my final year of a Property Development degree. As a project we've got to choose a site in Sheffield either cleared or with some existing use on and draw up our development plan, and each morning on way into Uni from Parkway its kind of a big grey blob that sits on Sheffield's skyline and could be made into something alot more eye catching. While I am here does anyone have any ideas on what might work on that site and be popular??

It's eye catching certainly, but do people think it's ugly? Has it gone past the point where it looks like 1960's tat that should be demolished (like we all now thing about the hole in the road), or are the rose tinted specs firmly on?

I personally would rather see the Roxy than it be knocked down and replaced by a routine, featureless building.

yes, a massive childcare facility where we could leave the kids for a couple of hours/days/months......only kidding. im amazed no-one has turned it into one of those big kids play areas like the mega-centre/pirate ship/kidsrus etc.....imagine the slide from upstairs to the dancefloor!!!

I go out in Sheffield quite often and the arguement I have with it is everything seems so spread out, so re-opening the Roxy would add further to this problem. Not sure if any of you have been to 'The Gate' in Newcastle it has nice bars, a top nightclub, restaurants and a cinema. This could be an option!!

Knock it down is what i say and build another useless hotel or facility Sheffield doesn't mean. Oh SCC while you at it feel free to use my tax money to build it.

Ta :rant:

I used to work in a nightclub where rumour had it that they were thinking of relocating to Roxys. They found out they could n't because it would cost too much, the problem being that there isn't enough fire exits and to sort it out would mean practically knocking it down and starting again anyway. i am suprised it hasn t been turned into a uni builing.

Although the city could do with an Ikea - Nottingham/Leeds is a bit of a travel, but SCC being what it is...

Are you looking at just the Roxy, or are you looking at the whole building incorporating the cinema, car park, shops and pedestrian underpasses?

(just coz I'm nosey and interested ;) )

ive heard thru the grapevine that its supposed to be the new kingdom :suspect:

That was a while ago... the costs to bring it up to scratch in terms of fire safety, and the rewiring needed to bring it up to modern electrical safety standards were too high.

The group who own The Kingdom night-clubs have the ownership at the moment from what im aware!

So i wonder what thats going to be???????????????? lol

Demolishing the Roxy nightclub would be a crime against Sheffield!

I would love it to open up again, but can't see it happening.

I had many cheap underage nights (as in I was underage, not doing something illegal with other people underage) out in there, very cheesey and great fun.:clap:

I don't think Sheffield at the present time needs another so called super club. With the recent opening of 'The Plug' on Matilda Street this offers live music (not to everyones taste) and club nights. There's already Gatecrasher and Kingdom, Leadmill in place so possibly retail units with a few trendy bars and flats above may work??

..yeah that is the place where Tiger Tiger is. it has the big glass frontage and inside hosts bars, a club, cinema and restaurants. Although it is quite high and this may stick out like a saw thumb over Sheffields skyline, there is more space/land to work over so it could be spread out more. Walking rounf Sheffield this area where Roxy is situated I think needs some regeneration and a complex like this would attract a variety of people!!

Leadmill - Sticky floor
Kingdom - Full of slappers and chavs.

There's still space for a club that offers different stuff to the above 3.

I never bother with Kingdom. Leadmill and Republic can be ok on some nights though.

I hope that they don't close the Odeon. I'm a dedicated film fan and go to the cinema around twice a week on average. The majority of those visits are to the Odeon.

Cineworld is a decent cinema, but I can't drive, so have to take the tram there. The Odeon is much more central and easier to get to. I like the cosiness of its smaller screens, and I now live only five minutes walk away. :)

New nightclub ? nah i heard it differently, i heard it's where they would like to build the billardrome have a look at these shots of the area

http://www.billiardrome.com/_sgt/m1m1s11_1.htm

www.billardrome.com (home page)

I am not saying don't put any sort of club were the Roxy is, I am just trying to say all the space shouldn't be used solely for a nightclub, there's other venues for that in the city. What would work is a complex with bars, a club, restaurants and building the odean into the site. Not sure if you are aware of 'The Gate' in Newcastle this offers all the above and is very popular. Just gives people more options in one area, rather than walking all over the City. Just my opinion though.

Ah fond memories but pleeease for those of us of a certain age its "Steelys"!!.

Stranglers concert and last night of 1970's(31/12/79). £4 to get in!! are two of my memorable highlights.

Was it also called the Top Rank Suite before that?.

make it as un marche couvert (indoors market) fresh vegetables/fruit/fish/meat...

The place is a great ugly eye sore.
The underpass is a mugger's paradise.
The nearby restaurants are a joke.
And the poxy Odeon is the best our city cente can offer for a cinema?
Demolish the lot and put a Multiplex in.
It'll bring in a lot of trade away from the hell hole that is Centertainment and lift the profile.
That's what i reckon anyway.

Cinemas in the city centre aren't popular anymore, particularly with the 'keep the car from the city centre' councils we have.

So basically you're going to replace it with what's already there? :suspect:

i aggree with the guy who said re open as roxy's as far as i understand most of it was how it was left and it would be in te best placein town a lot easier to get picked up as getting picked upfrom kingdom is bloody impossible

I think it should be considered for a new Carling Academy site.

They would have the money to do it up properly and it would mean money coming into the city as it would make a great venue.

And also i'd appreciate not having to go to Leeds/ Manchester everytime i wanted to see certain bands!!

really cant be bothered to read all of these posts, but does anyone know whats happening to roxys? can anyone lend me few mill to open a nightclub?

This is probably the most important site in town, so it's got to be done right. At the moment, visitors arrive into a concrete canyon, with Park Hill on one side and the Roxy/Odeon on the other. It's also the most useful site in town because of the hill. You could build what appear to be flash skyscrapers from the interchange side and buildings of ordinary height from the Arundel Gate side.

Arundel Gate is also a totally dead thoroughfare which needs buildings that keep it busy day and night. Which all adds up in my view to two 15 storey blocks, one with club below, shops at street level and offices above, and the other with car park below, cinema/bars at street level and flats above.

There, sorted!

That sounds too positive and useful.

Why don't we just build several one way streets that only busses can use, put in a car lane that goes to a dead end, fill that with a load of pot holes, put in some stupidly expensive building that no one wants or will use and then leave it at that?

In the process of doing this we can close a load of roads around the area and cause traffic chaos and then blame it on others such as bus companies etc.

Actually, that does sound better.

Actually, that does sound better.
You don't by any chance happen to work for Sheffield (sh)city council do you?

No, thankfully I know what it's like in the real world.

Isn't this already a reality?

Bring back The RO_Y Disco! If it re-opened I'd go along for a night just for old time's sake, then never again because it was awful in the day.

Still it's better than an empty building being there. Someone buy it up and turn it into something... anything.

I spent many underage nights in the Roxy if I got turned away from other places, they always seemed to welcome underage drinking in there :D

One funny thing was my brother always used to say it was his birthday, pretty much every week and we'd always get a free bottle of something or other (tasted crap) to celebrate. He's a year younger than me, so he was underage too, but it was fun.

Yep, I'm for the 'bring it back' lot too, it would be a good night out if you fancied a laugh.

How much do they want for it and more importantly how much to renevate it and add the fire regulation requirements etc?

When we were using it for church 5 years ago I think it was half a million just to get it up to health and safety standards without any revamp and 2 million plus to buy it.

me too, long live roxys hehe!!! i had a wonderful dream once (yes im sad) about have £300million to buy do it up and run it. it was classy, had taxis ready and waiting outside, attendents with big umbrellas all the way down the huge Q, tictacs for free at end of night. I had theme nights of the Ratpack, Funky House, Gatecrasher (oldskool), Soul nights ...............wow. if i won the lottery i would so do that, and give you all free tickets:D
