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.

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!

The Triple Point IPA was great by the way (as always!),  nice and safe click and collect service, helpful staff.

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? 

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?

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.

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?

Could anyone help me with the time limit for parking in Bradfield Road Car park Hillsborough?

 

I have just received a parking charge notice from Highview Parking today 31/01/18 for £85 which occurred on 17th October 2017. The notice states I was parked for 16 minutes.

 

Please can anyone advise me if it has changed from a 2 hour maximum stay and do I have to pay the fine?

 

I know I should've read the signs before I left my car but having previously parked their a while ago I was under the impression you didn't have to pay for a short stay.

 

Thanks

Same here, just got a ticke for last September, I didn't even park, was just waiting for a space!

Hello All

 

I,m new to this forum and Sheffied. As I,m hunting for somewhere to live and dealing with my new job I,m meeting a lot of new people.

 

What would you say are the differentiating characteristics of people from Sheffield? The good ones, the bad ones, the unusual ones?

 

Thanks

PS if any has a property to let south of crooks and west of the centre, drop me a pm, thanks :-)

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.

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.

Great news! It'll do really well, plenty of people in Walkley wantig places like this.

While we're discussing Walkley pubs, does anyone have any news on the Rose House? It loks like it's having a facelift with some momey spent on hand painted signage?

3 new shop units, rebuilt building and houses on the land around the back. I believe it sold for £50K more than the guide price.

 

Who has bought the old Methodist church though? It's been empty for several years

 

Good to see the Mayor opening the new print shop in Walkley this afternoon. Bit of a buzz around the area these days

Ian, regarding the empty Methodist church, I understand this is owned by the adjacent Wesley / Walkley Ebenezer Methodist Church. I was told that the Christ Church people from further down South Road had raised sufficient funds to buy and renovate the church, but that the Ebenezer Methodist Church had refused to sell on the grounds it would be confusing to have different denominations on adjoining sites. IMHO that’s a shame as it would have been another boost to our community. Also we’ve a good pedigree of successfully changing denominations in Walkley – look no further than the Buddhist Centre! Of course I could be wrong about this – maybe someone from the Ebenezer Church or the Christ Church could comment?

Thanks Ian, that's really helpful. Agree about the new Walkley Print Shop, it looks great and will do well. Really good watching the hipster duo doing some live music outside it this afternoon!

Does anyone know what's happening at the old Albert Ross Emporium on South Road, Walkley? It closed a few months ago and it's been semi cleared, but there's been no sign of any activity fo a while and no notices saying what the plans are. It's got great potential to make another contribution to Walkley's revival.

Leo's Italian Express in Walkley - previously an amazing takeaway, has recently opened a restaurant as well. Highly recommend it great food, service, atmospehere and decor.

We went to Leo's Italian Express last night. Everything was great, our seared scallop starter was excellent with a hint of smokiness, the asparagus risotto was rich and the pizza was the real thing. Friendly service, nice decor, nice vibe, a great addition to the new Walkley!

The guy who has the pop up stall in the Moor Markets makes best pies I ever had (apart from home made of course)!

Anyone know what's happening at the Springvale? It's having a full on refurb, everything stripped out.

Thank heaven for that, no more stupid, cockeyed, ridiculous plans that will never come to fruition !

Maybe someone with ideas and a sense of realism and understanding what the city actually wants.

I actually think he's a decent bloke who did a good job.

Great news - a big decision by Boeing and long term too. With luck more will follow.
