duckweed Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 The tours on Sunday. There are in fact 2 Tours. We are hoping to get loads of people there to meet there and meet some Friends of Bishops House and discuss what we'd like to happen at Bishops House in the future. We are hoping to have picnic but weather is looking dodgy. See http://www.museums-sheffield.org.uk/coresite/html/bishops.asp on how to get there.

hard2miss Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 If they do it they will surround them with expensive hotels that the majority of Sheffielders will never use. It will be a focal point and park all right, but for the business class that will be in the hotels. I can imagine it all being boxed in with open days and tours for ordinary Sheffielders on days when business is quiet, like winter. I would love to see it all stripped back and have a huge peace garden set up for us all to enjoy, It would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckweed Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 That would be great. I suppose its up to us to make it happen. They have already planned to make a garden so lets make sure it is an open one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is to open up the site as described, but to make it a feature that can be seen as you come in on Parkway as well, so no, it wont be surrounded as with the Peace gardens.

duckweed Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Maybe they could save the old town hall from ruin while they are at it and make a hertitage area there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) The castle must be built! Seriously, let's rebuild the whole thing as accurately as possible. It'd be a massive tourist attraction - folly and educational historical monument all in one. Edited May 5, 2010 by Bilge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsbitter Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Bilge, I can tell you now that won't happen. The first stage in the proceedings will be the Markets to come down- then some preliminary archaelogical investigations.
