Sounds like they are starting from the back last I heard they were removing asbestos from the inside.

The White Lion is a listed building , been in a few times took a few photos a few years back its really nice with original tile work and woodwork a real gem .

I want to record the demolition of Castle Market I know work has started on the inside has anything happened on the outside? Does anyone know if the demolition includes the Market Traven and the shop unit next door and if Wikcos shop set to go at a later date. I don't live in Sheffield now so I don't know how far things have gone . Thanks

The Harrow is closed when I don't know. The inside is stripped out and the building in general is derelict, parts of which date back to Georgian times shame to see it like that. Gone the same way as the Durham Ox further up.

Given the passage of time I doubt their but much left but you never know. Is their anything like power boxes ( usually metal boxes with doors at the front they were mostly to with electrics system sometimes with coat of arms on them) poles for the overhead wireing sometimes they had lamps fixed to them. A few years ago when the Moor was repaved a section of the tram track was exposed so took a couple of photos of that , if their is any of examples of old system I would like to photo them.

At a rough guess how old are the toilet's were they built at the same time as the petrol station ? I always thought their was a connection to the tram system but clearly not the case seems an odd place to have them.

Thanks for the replies like the photo showing everyone running after the tram something's don't change!

Not sure if this what you are looking for?, but Niche nightclub was a spin off rave later Bassline came in. I used go to Sidney Street one in the late 1990s untill it closed in 2005. I know there was outdoor raves down Attercliffe way odd times.

Often wounded if the now derelict Meadowshead toilet block was were the trams turned round to go back to the city centre and block was built for drivers and public to use and a stop near by. The area I'm on about is were a petrol station now stands and the large roundabout?

IM trying to purchase a couple of history books by John Darwell, one is called ' Things Seen While Wandering Around Attercliffe ' the other Some Building Remains Of Don Valley. Both are photo books taken in the East End of Sheffield in the 1980s. I think the Attercliffe book came out last year the other possibly before it. Would appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

I think Jordan did the right thing , if you think that ISIS are willing to talk think again they believe everything they do is right . I'm afraid that's how it is with them.

After a bad fall on the Moor (Iv got bad mobility ) and ending up with deep cuts to my hands was taken to A&E at Northern General and was asked about lifestyle like diet and how much I drank (no I was not drunk at the time of my fall) I mentioned I like to drink whisky now and again . The doctor told me I would be better off giving up Whisky for real ale she also mentioned drinks called Bomb's a mix of spirits I think, and said more young people were drinking that and liver disease is on the up as a result of it.

Hitler used the Jews as someone to blame for the Weimars Republics problems . But sadly this prejudice didn't die in the ruins of Berlin in 1945 and still with us today and is on the rise again is history about to repeat itself?

As someone who does a lot of photography (mostly Urban Exploring so seldom anyone in them let alone children) if its in a public place any children about I either wait for them to leave or find another spot to take my photo with all the media hype over child abuse don't fancy anyone accusing me of something its a sad state of affairs. I do understand the OPs concern though it might have been better to have asked first than just pointing the camera at his child and a explained why he wanted that shot.

Is drinking spirits like Whisky, Brandy , Gin, Rum more harmful than drinking say a real ale ?

If there was a chance of reopening the mines I would be open armed about it trust me. But the need for coal has gone down a lot since the mines closed plus many of the old mines would be in a right state after all this time I was once talking to a ex coal miner even he doubted the mines would still be open.

Question: Do people still want markets ? The one in Chesterfield in its day was busy and large now its been reduced to a few stalls only on Thursday's Flea market a bit busier even that's thining a combination of prices and rent .

We have at present a government who thinks nothing of its people its all about saving money at any price even if it causes hardship or death. It was heart breaking to read a man who served his country to die in such a fashion we don't know if he had family to turn to and its easy to say he should have done this or that. Remember he was willing to serve for Queen and country to protect you and I . The whole sanction system for ESA or JSA is unfair and abused by the Cameron's government this year we have a chance for a change in our political system do you want a fair government or a oppressive one ?

Sheffield could quite easily rival Leeds and Manchester if given the chance. Sheffield has a lot of history and the buildings in the Cambridge Street area reflect that by all means get rid of the eyesores but other buildings like the Cutlers pub are worth saving and could be found a new use than be replaced by a shopping complex that has no historical connection to the city. There's a chance here to do something different and retain part of the cities identity.

This a difficult one and been there myself for him to come to terms with his drinking you must find the root cause of this desire to get drunk. He needs to be under the care of your GP and needs tests for his liver function to assess the damage. Things look bleak now but in time it will get better if given the right help. Its all well and good for people to dam someone for turning to drink for comfort but it can happen to anyone anything can trigger it for example a relationship breakdown, or in my case a death of a child . Whatever happens I hope it gets sorted out

Perhaps a way forward might be retaining the best buildings in the area and replacing buildings that are not structurally sound with designs more in keeping with the environment. Chesterfield has restored quite a few of its older buildings and has street furniture that's in keeping with the environment and a newish shopping complex that blends into the townscape. I have been around that area many times it has the potential for such a project than demolishing most of the area with a any where shopping complex and would cost less and give Sheffield something different from what Manchester and Leeds has.

Used to go down Attercliffe over ten years ago to its pubs and clubs. Been invited to a 'do' down there is it ok at night now the reason I ask is I'm disabled and there for a easy target for any would be mugger thanks?

He's at home at Gracelands he sends his best wishes.

Thank you , not many estate pubs left I think its important to record them when they are gone its gone for good.

Thanks for the reply's. Which is the best bus to get to the Arbourthorne Hotel and is it still standing at present?
