  1. Our construction side is pretty busy. We mainly build extensions though, and have an in-house design team who draw plans and do all the planning applications etc which means our clients have got to know us before they have to decide which builder to use, so I guess that gives us a bit of an edge over builders who have to compete against each other. Saying that, we're fairly quiet on the plans side at the moment, waiting for people to get back from holiday and start focusing on the house again. We did have one client who suffered financially due to Brexit, something to do with the pound falling, but no-one else seems to have been affected.
  2. I wish they'd extend the 'What's On' geographical area to include the Peak District and Derbyshire. Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster are all very well but c'mon people, some of us want to head in the other direction at a weekend! SHEFFIELD STAR - ARE YOU LISTENING?
  3. Has anyone been yet? Just wondering if there are any personal recommendations yet!
  4. Apparently..... .... you can do it here Let us know if it works!
  5. It's probably not strictly-speaking Norton, but Enid Bailey's book Not Pretty, But Pleasant was a great read about her family farm on City Road before the war: With credit to Amazon, "So vivid was my mother's story-telling that, in my imagination, I became the child who ran daily from the dairy to the farmhouse. I was the one lifted onto the enormous Shirehorse. When, during my childhood the high farm gates were locked and the farmyard hidden from view the scenes my mother described continued inside my head. Surely, in the dusty cowshed the cows still stood patiently and Grandad was milking. If I could tiptoe in, no matter how quietly, a jet of milk would catch me in the eye and I would hear him chuckle. Even today, far from Deep Pits, I still follow in her footsteps, smelling the shoe leather in the workshop, hearing the pigs crunching coal or helping with the haymaking. In my mind's eye a little girl still runs to school, clattering her battledore against the railings. But it is not only my mother's story. It is the story of the Sheffield people, of their courage and humour as they endured two World Wars. And yes! The dairy still stands. Sadly the shining churns and the home made ice cream have vanished. Deep Pits Dairy is a shop now." I had the pleasure of hearing Enid read excerpts from her book at a Friends of Manor Lodge meeting in April.
  6. We've a couple of flats we manage at Darnall, and we've had white English people as well as African and Polish people rent the flats, some of whom have stayed for a year or so so and one tenant who has been there for four years plus. They must be pretty happy as it's only a six-month tenancy agreement which rolls on once the intial period expires.
  7. The Orthodentists over the road to us seem to have a good reputation. I was talking to a mum the other day who was waiting in the cafe underneath, and she was saying how pleased they are with the service. Orthodontic Centre 498 Ecclesall Road Sheffield S11 8PY 0114 268 4753
