i am curious to know what grand buildings sheffield lost during the second world war, or the first!? sheffielders often speak of the fact that this fine city lost a host of quality historical buildings.

does anyone have any names of buildings or links?

cheers!

When I read the OP, that was the first thing I thought of. :confused:

Wonder why?, I supposed it's well known as killing the most people in one go.



For the OP, have a look at this site (http://www.picturesheffield.co.uk/database_search.php) There are thousands in there.

IMO, we have knocked more lovely buildings down than the Luftewaffe managed.

My mates mum told him, your Grandads Brother was killed in the Second World War, he said "Where was he, Germany, Japan, Russia" his mum tells him....

"No he was in Marples on Fitzwilliam Sq dodging his National Service" - hahaha, all time hero eh!!

Thanks for posting that site, I learnt something new.

stockers, I think that's really bad taste considering the scale of loss associated with the bombing of the Marples.

I agree, good site.
