Reading through this has just made me take a mojor stroll down memory lane.

 

I remember when I was a kid, my mum used to take me for breakfast in Woolies Cafe, then through the hole in the road so I could stare at the fish and then on for a cuppa and to see the crocodile at Orchard Square. I wish I could make that journey again!

 

I'd completely forgotten about the Orchard Square Crocodile until someone reminded me a couple of pages ago!

More pics of hole in the road - including oen of the famous fishtank! I'd never heard of this particular Sheffield landmark until I read about it on this thread (only an adopted Sheffielder since 2003). Despite the problems with crime it does seem a shame it's gone as it looked pretty unique.

Great pictures!

Can see why it was unique and also why it was a haven for cri at the same time.

 

Why was it filled in?
