Can anyone help a hopeless romantic?

Hello, I'm hoping that the good people of Sheffield can help me with this request.

Firstly, I should say that I am aware of the chequered past of the 'I Love You Will U Marry Me' graffiti / sign on Park Hill Flats bridge.

However; I would like to know - in advance - of a place where I could take a selfie, and capture this neon sign in the background.

Can anyone suggest the spot??

I'll be visiting Sheffield in a few weeks, with my prospective fiancee, and I'd like to arrive at a spot, take a selfie of us both with this in the background, and hope for the best!

Clearly, much of the romance and 'spontaneity' would be lost if I'm dragging her around looking for this perfect spot for the photo, and so I am throwing myself at the mercy of any of you who might be in that area, know the area or pass though the area and might be inclined to help this blushing, hopeless romantic.

like that. hope someone can help.

Thanks for the encouragement Padders!

Here would be about the only place you'd be able to get it in shot as it's quite small and quite high:

Thats great sgtkate, I'd not thought of using street view.

Am I right in thinking it lights up at night... so I could be further away? Around Ponds Forge or somewhere near the Crucible?

Yes it does light up now. That streetview image is quite old. Perhaps look around the Crucible area on streetview to see if there anywhere with line of sight to that bridge? I'll have a hunt.

Maybe here: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.379884,-1.4661865,3a,75y,90.22h,75.56t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sH29GHtvjnCaOlQEei9wF6w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Or: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3798578,-1.4667694,3a,75y,101.13h,84.81t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWxRPLwZOfhquhHodkJWYdw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Also, there is terrace here: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3793892,-1.4665108,3a,75y,284.99h,95.6t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0jCpmXPfi23BxZJ6GlnP_w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 above that 'In the making' sign. I suspect the Hallam Uni building is in the way, but would be a nice place for the photo if it's not. I can't quite tell on streetview. The Millenium Galleries are nice people so I'd sure if you rang them they'd be able to tell you if the sign is visible and let you 'book' the terrace for the moment.

sgtkate you are wonderful.

I think the ramp leading up to the left of the Adsetts Centre on Arundel Gate looks like it could be the spot.

Is anyone passing there in the next few days I wonder??

It's a shame the street view car didn't make it up there!

This made me cry haha. If only my other half was like this! He asked me in the house.

At least he did bertyboop ... I've not managed it yet!

What a helpful person you are!

This was after 5 years of begging him.. 2 years later he's not mentioned it since. He must have forgotten.. or done it to shut me up

What a helpful person you are!

Quite!:thumbsup:
