lil-minx92 Â Â 10 #3397 Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) I went recently and its vastly improved from when it opened, but still in no way whatsoever feels like the market hall of a big city. Â Its interesting that when the main problem with Sheffields retail offer is that its layout is linear, they took a key part of it from one end, and rebuilt it right at the other end.

PRESLEY Â Â 1,229 #3398 Posted November 13, 2018 Aldi and Asda is good enough for me cheaper and nearer. So this market wouldn't get my vote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bang on the Barnsley Council should be congratulated on the refurbishment of the Market area ,they are doing what Sheffield Council only talks about inc a new library bang where it is needed .all this new building work has been or is being done over a two year period with no disruption to local traders.  ---------- Post added 14-11-2018 at 07:50 ----------  Hasn't Barnsley just got a new Market hall?

Angela P Â Â 10 #3406 Posted November 14, 2018 Does the guy in the football kit still "work" there? I used to see him at Castle Market. Â Yes, I see him most weeks, though I never see him doing any ''work'' just shouting to the stallholders. I think he has been banned from doing any kind of work in there.

chris52   10 #3408 Posted November 15, 2018 I went into the market last week, it’s about three months since my last visit, and was amazed to see another two nail bars had opened, just how many false nail bars do we need ? There are less fish and meat stalls than when it opened, there was a new stall selling Indian food, ready made curries etc. I can recommend their onion bhajis and lamb samosa. It seems unless you wish to purchase all things vape related ( must be about four stalls selling this now ) or wish to have false nails added there really isn’t a lot to see. However I shall still keep going for my tomato sausage for however long the butchers can keep trading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
