milquetoast1 Â Â 10 #1 Posted November 16, 2010 Beautiful morning, so decided to do the Five Weirs walk. Â Anyway just as I wandered under Washford Bridge and up towards Salmon Pastures I glanced up to the right and saw what I thought was some minarets. I do this walk regularly and had not noticed these before, so nipped up onto Attercliffe Road, and there at the end of Warren Street, tucked behind Auto Rads and next door to Sovereign Stainless, there is a brand spanking new mosque, almost ready to move in. Â Very impressive I must say, must have cost a couple of million. Glad to note that there is no recession in La La land. Â Anyway, just tried to google some info on it and can't find anything. Nothing, nada, zilch, zip. Very strange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

milquetoast1   10 #4 Posted November 16, 2010 Not a Mosque, Sikh Temple afaik.  Ah, that explains why I couldn't find anything.  Thanks to the mod for changing the title and making me seem slightly less of a plonker, although "Sikh temple" rather than just "building" would have been better.  Anyway, when you search using the correct info you can actually find out some interesting stuff:  http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/Sikh-temple-planned-for-city39s.4629697.jp  Now, I like the mosque on Wolseley Road, but I also like the Sikh temple on Warren Road. But which one's better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â The stretch between East Coast Road and Attercliffe Road reopened a while ago if that's what you mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bulgarian   10 #8 Posted November 16, 2010 "state-of-the-art" as in "modern", hardly seems appropriate for a religious building, surely it should be trapped a couple of centiries in the past ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
