What a shame, surely it gets a high foot fall around there what with being close to West Street and the City Hall...

The Council just love wasting tax payers money on schemes like this. Its been tried several times over the years and failed. While Sheffield may be a moderate sized city , the city centre is actually a very tiny circula route , there is no demand or need for these buses .... I've seen it myself when in town, when one passed me, totally empty .... the fact that they are now being stolen only highlights another dark and miserable aspect of this dark ages city, no respect for property , as shown by the wanton graffiti everywhere , far worse than other similar cities 😕

... fast forward to 2024 and only the Norfolk Arms is left ... how long before that goes too as the whole area goes up market ? 😮

Titivating ? I heard it may become an upmarket foodie restaurant and hotel ! If they cannot get a buyer, I guess it might well go the way of other pubs, and a block of flats be built where it stands, that's assuming that they can get planning permission beside the busy Psalter Lane 😮

Didn't take long for the negative knockers to appear on this thread instead of celebrating a nationally famous garden designer who came from these regions .. he deserves the plaque !

Thanks Irene, I will look her up, she sounds like my type of woman to follow !

Horray - congratulations to Barnsley Market - yes the town is remarkably clean and shiny compared to other areas of South Yorkshire , the folk are salt of the earth !

Poor Charles I wish him a speedy recovery.

Is it still in the Top 20 in Europe?

The WOKE virus has terminally affected the BBC, its only a matter f time before the big lumbering beast dies from it !

This is a stupid story. The man is ignorant of history and facts - what's he complaining about when: a) The song itself has the lyric "Britons never shall be slaves" ergo its not about American southern slaves specifically or their lives, its a wish/declaration used in the general sense of the word slave - the song itself harks back to the glorious British Empire, and anyway it was Great Britain who first took steps against the slave trade way back in the early 19th century. b) I assume that this chap is British-born and therefore, down the generations, he will have absolutely no connection to the American slave trade generation even if the song was about that c) It's a stalwart song of a trio or more of songs that form the core set of the Last Night of the Proms, therefore if it is removed a major pillar of the whole program is gone, whats next, Jerusalem cos of some anti-semite idiot? Nonetheless I fear that at some point in the future, the miserable Woke politically correct BBC that is way over-funded by and does not deserve any part of the licence fees from us silent majority, and allows overpaid idiots like Linaker and Vorderman to rant as they wish on social media in clear breach of their impartiality contracts, will roll over on its miserable Woke belly, legs in the air, probably bent at the knees at the same time, to remove these glorious patriotic standard songs just because some sensitive snowflake musicians disagree out of pure ignorance of history with them 🤨🙄

Oh for the days when there were markets outside WH Smith , M &S etc that they were complaining about ... Fargate is so much worse now, the only market now is in drugs 😞

I don't know why those people cannot stay in their own pubs and areas instead of lowering the tone in other more well to do areas. Surely they would be happier going out in Hillsborough and stick to their bad karaoke, intimidating behaviours and darts 😞

So the Shiney Sheff has hit the rocks again and may not recover from this fatal blow of being hit below the waterline? Yes it was a ship full of very colourful characters in its day ... RIP Shiney Sheff 😞😐

I agree with you Irene, there is sod all going on in Fargate at the moment and I'm hoping it doesn't collapse into complete decline , lets hope that the flagship Marks and Sparks stays and doesn't go the way of John Lewis ... currently I'm having to fight and push aside beggars and crack addicts just to go in to Neros near the corner 😞
