ukdavvy Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hi I got something through the door about a lovely looking 100 year old house being demolished in Fulwood so someone can build flats instead - presumably money talks Its a real shame we have to destroy our history and heritage like this. The place looked lived in and in good nick. Did anyone else get the leaflet? It looks like a home made job to drum up support. Also where is the house? It didnt say. The house did look amazing, Id like to look at it before the bulldozers do. d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carriewarr Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I don't know Fulwood that well, but could it be this recent planning application? http://libplugins.sheffield.gov.uk/planning/details.asp?id=17317 Cheers, Carrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Interesting that even Fulwood isn't immune from the 'apartment block' disease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 that IS INDEED a beautiful house and someone should do something about this right now. Dont let the Council knock down yet more beautiful old buildings!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clogginchris Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 It's a beautiful Arts and Crafts house, built in 1914 and originally called Carsick Hill Court. Pevsner's Architectural Guide to Sheffield says "(it) combines half timbering and tiling with a most elaborate stone porch and a three story tower" I am not against progress and modern buildings, but we must not let all of our beautiful old buildings to be demolished for tasteless apartments. Anyone who wants to object should write to the planning department - if you live in the area, copy it to the local councillors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 A letter will be on its way to the planning people. I shall NOT mince my words here....HANDS OFF. This place I remember from the 70's very well as used to pass it on the way home from school. What a gorgeous and totally individual and beautiful piece of SHeffield heritage..........NO MORE SENSELESS DEMOLITION SHEFFIELD COUNCIL. Why dont you go and fill the 25,000+ pot- holes in the SHeffield roads if you are bored? Dont go entertaining planning applications for the further destruction of great buildings. If anyone has a pic of this place perhaps a post of it here? My digital camera is currently very poorly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Shouldn't these objections be voiced to the council? If it's made it into the Pevsner's Architectural Guide, surely it's a building of significant interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 HANDS OFF!! no way are they demolishing that gorgeous house! Why dont they fill in the loads of empty roads in Parson Cross?? The place is like ghost town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 If someone owns the house and wants to demolish it then they can, it's their house, not yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Nick is not terribly bright, bless him, and he is incapable of putting together a coherent, rigorous argument." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
