Does anyone know what happened to the Rose House in Walkley? I walked past it this morning (10 August) and all the windows had been smashed, some completely. A real shame.

Is Anywhere Selling Real/Cask Ale?

The Triple Point IPA was great by the way (as always!), nice and safe click and collect service, helpful staff. -
Is Anywhere Selling Real/Cask Ale?
BurtBackcrak replied to BurtBackcrak's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Thanks for all these - a great response from the Forum community and our local breweries. I ended up buying a container of cask Session IPA from Triple Point. I now plan to work my way through these other suggestions! -
Is anywhere is selling real ale to take away at the moment?

IMHO the Raven is a great newcomer to the improving Walkley offer. For a start it complements the Blind Monkey just down the road - it's a similarly small and friendly pub with great beer, but whilst the Monkey is gloriously crammed full of original Art Deco fittings the Raven is minimalist. And it seems to be doing great business. Such a shame True North couldn't make the Walkley Library conversion work, Walkley would be even better - maybe the people who resisted the Library's renewal could rethink?

I see the Walkley Cottage is closed for refurbishment after a recent change of ownership. Has anyone any information on the plans?

Italian Express, Walkley - new restaurant
BurtBackcrak replied to taxman's topic in Going out in Sheffield
Highly recommended, it's become a family favourite. Really friendly and great food. -
Is it correct that the True North company is taking over the Punch Bowl on Crookes? Great news for Crookes and Walkley if so!

Hi, anyone know what's happening at the Walkley ASda? There are signs up today (Tuesday 23 April) stating it's closed until further notice. Maybe it's closed for repairs after the ram raid?

Update on Walkley Library?
BurtBackcrak replied to BurtBackcrak's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
If True North have pulled out that's a great shame. Also IMHO it's a poor business decision. It's true that lots of young professionals are moving into the area. In my street alone, in the last year or so seven houses have been taken up by young professionals. It's unkind to label them yuppies, as some here have done: they're all really nice people, and are the future of our area. The proposed Library cafe bar would have been a great success, so let's hope there's another chance for it to happen. -
Private Parking Ticket Megathread (Part 3)
BurtBackcrak replied to mort's topic in General Discussions
I've received letters demanding a fine and threatening court action for an 'offence' at the Bradfield Road car park over 6 months ago. I wasn't parking, just waiting for a space, but am I doomed? -
Private Parking Ticket Megathread (Part 2)

The character of Sheffield people
BurtBackcrak replied to daducky88's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
The people are very friendly. I moved here from the other side of the Pennines, and immediately felt the difference between here and most Lancashire towns and cities. -
Update on Walkley Library?
BurtBackcrak replied to BurtBackcrak's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Does anyone know the latest position? It's been months since the group won the grant for the main bid, but I've heard nothing since. It'd be a shame if it's not going ahead, it would make such a great contribution to the area's revival. Any update would be really welcome. -
Hi, Does anyone have an update on the True North company renovation of Walkley Library? It seems to have gone quiet recently It'll be a real shame for the area if it doesn't go through.
