Ms Macbeth   76 #27 Posted July 22, 2011 Nothing wrong with Holme Lane.  One of the best houses in Hillsborough is on Holme Lane. But its not mine - I'm much nearer the park, which is great as I walk through it several times most weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Girly   10 #29 Posted July 22, 2011 When you say 'lets not start negative' does that mean we're not allowed to say anything negative?? Because to me Hills is an absolute dump now looks like Castle Markets when driving through today. And its ever since Whetherspoons opened, its done down hill, cheap booze for ya, not that i don't appreciate it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
gularscute   10 #30 Posted July 23, 2011 Has someone who lives on that estate upset you?  Really, I'm at a loss to know how you could generalise about everyone who lives on any estate. Its like saying everyone who lives in Sheffield has a chip on their shoulder about those who aspire to or achieve some level of success.  Of course I know not everyone in Sheffield thinks like that, just a minority.  It is a bit like legoland I have to say. It was much nicer when it was an asylum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

iphonelover   10 #32 Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) Wadsley Park gated community for third rate aspirant yuppies.Setti collis who buy the value branded ice-cream in FarmFoods,ready made sauces in HB and still charge top dollar to punters who think spaghetti comes in tin cans.  My god you talk a load of bull. Someones a yuppie for buying a nice house on a well kept new area. It has STUNNING grade 2 listed buildings which have been wonderfully renovated, with the juxtaposition of new. Lovely lawned areas, a great kiddies park which never gets vandalised, nice little football pitches, areas of untouched woodland, Protected fossils which go back over 300 years, a stunning old church... I could go on! Its not just a new standard housing estate, its got deep history which stands within new but yet stands as one! Living here is so relaxing and when im walking my dogs through fossil forest and looking at the stunning views of the grade 2 listed clock tower rising through the new with the sun setting beyond it truely is amazing and feels a million miles from the hussle and bustle of hillsborough. As for the people who live here they are no different to the people in other areas where ive lived including Hillsborough, Crookes. Crosspool, whiston, stannington... Just Friendly down to earth, working class people who will pass the time of day when out walking the dogs etc... There is only one reason a person can go out of their way to be as negative as you are about an area thats steeped in history more than any other place nearby, has plenty of green land, has friendly people, safe, well kept, no trouble, peaceful etc.... and thats pure jealously!  I can understand people not like new built houses, some prefer older character properties. Thats fair enough. However your critism wasnt even substantial. Green is certainly not your colour.
