Sheffield myths

Meadowhall? wasn't it originally designed as a prison, or something?

*sits back with glass of cola and her popcorn!*

 

 

I thought it was going to be a bodybag factory.

Maggie Thatcher loved Sheffield.

 

She loved it more than she did Goldthorpe.

The one about the red-indian buried at Wardsend is definitely a myth,he was fataly injured when his horse fell on him in a renactment of an Indian attack in Buffalo Bills touring Wild West show at Owlerton!.He died in the Royal Infirmary after a few days,his body was taken by train to London where it was buried,Buffalo Bill wrote to the hospital thanking them for the care and effort trying to save him!.

Not a myth but fact I don,t know if its still there but in the 80s with a group of regulars from our local Wards pub we visited the brewery now Sheaf Island Wetherspoons!.On the tour we were taken into a tunnel beneath Ecclesall Rd,in the middle was a small room where we sampled different brews,all the time you could hear traffic above your head a very funny experience not for anyone with claustrophobia!.

Does anyone here remember a thread about Sheffield Myths, a good few years ago?

 

I have just stumbled upon a group of the same name on Facebook.

 

Not much there yet, but may be worth a look.

I think the threads a Myth...

[Chris_B_1983 10]

Oh it exists.

 

Was a popular thread back in mid 2000s, included a lot of talk about the Sheffield Incident.

 

I once posted in it, talking about the tunnel that went from the woods in Gleadless Valley, to Heeley, but the post got removed.

Meadowhall and the body bags.

Manor Castle and the tunnel from the pub down on Pond Hill.
