does anyone now how to start an online petition that people in sheffield can sign to bring back an aquarium to the city centre that if enough people sign we can hand into the council

Where and what was it to begin with? I assume there used to be one if you want it bringing back?

It was in the hole in the road, so it would be interesting to know where it would go if it was brought back

Would you like it restored to its historic location of old?

I'm sure Stagecoach won't mind you tearing up the tramstop.

Interesting that someone from NE Derbyshire wishes to petition Sheffield City Council to reinstate the fish tank. Are you offering to contribute to it's upkeep or will it be left to the Council Tax Payers of Sheffield?
Alternatively, you could try to get one in Dronfield.

While we all wait for them to dig up the tram stop there is always Sheffield Sea Life Centre (http://sheffieldsealifecentre.co.uk/)...

Anyone in Sheffield want to start an on-line petition to get North East Derbyshire District Council to instal an aquarium in Dronfield? If enough people sign, we can e-mail it to craigmason! :hihi:

Very good, but they'd be tag'd then ripped off by the end of the day.

That's just brilliant.... You have to tell us why that was created.

What happened to the old fish tank after it was removed from the Hole in the Road ?

I saw that, it was great, the pictures looked 3D.

i would be very willing to maintain it if they ever built one what about putting it in the winter gardens ?

I'll sign but only if the old tramps are included:hihi:

yes, I want it back. I remember the early 80's with my big furry hooded orange lined fabric dark blue mac on!

"mummy, mummy - fissies, fissies"..... "come on we will miss the 75 to Lane Top!" (from outside Rackhams with the escalators that went underground!!!)

Oh happy days....

lets have it back, even if the fish are plastic, "lets have it!!!!!!!!"

BRING BACK THE TANK! :D

Off topic I know, but does anyone remember when the Botanicle Gardens used to have a Tropical Fish House and an Exotic Birds House?

It was moved to Ponds Forge.

Call me a cynic, but to me it says a lot about the paucity of attractions in Sheffield that people can get so worked up about an underpass with a fish tank in...
