Sheffield 'The Sugar Cube'


Recommended Posts

We are talking about a car park aren't we? :suspect:

 

1/ Why isn't it underground?

2/ Why isn't it underground?

3/ Why isn't it underground?

4/ Why does it look cheap and dated and sixties like?

5/ Why isn't it underground?

6/ Why does it look crap?

 

People have been badgering about the Egg Box and council's load of identical and similar buildings to be built again.

Moor markets carpak: naf

Yorkshire Grey carpark: naf

Velocity (is that it's real name?): naf

Next to Velocity thing: in the way of The Moor and London Road and naf

Centre: naf

Columbia Place: naf

Wicker things: how many more colours could they have used?It's a car-park! To park cars, not to make a statement.

 

Why isn't it underground?

 

Why ..... because that's where the Casino will be.

The courts? :gag: Right there on Westgate, next to the Town Hall!

 

The nondescript to the point of offensiveness apartment blocks you pass as you enter the station by train? :huh:

 

The 'Kremlin'? :suspect:

 

K2? :gag:

 

My home town is FULL of crap buildings, showing little imagination or boldness of thought. Sheffield is simply limping along in their wake, on the same dull path.

 

If they build 'the Mister Man' however, I will forgive Sheffield.

Visitors to Leeds or the locals don't go there personally to go down to the courts (or at least the vast majority don't). But the Sheffield car park carbuncle could hardly be in a more prominent place.

With any luck, the Kremlin might get hidden by the new developments that are or at least were due to be built in front of it. And, yes, it certainly is no ravishing beauty.

That's almost identical to Moorfoot but made with curves instead of on a 'honeycomb' theme, and yet Moorfoot is coming down?! One of Sheffield's most interesting buildings and home to wildlife coming down after a few years...because they cannot afford to replace the windows! :loopy:
