BarryRiley   10 #1 Posted February 28, 2012 I recently had to post something urgently, and since I was driving through Hillsborough as I often do, I thought I'd stop off and find out where the Post Office was. I'm not sure if it's the only one there, but after asking I ended up using the Post Office upstairs in the Co-Op. This has got to be the most depressing shop I've entered in Sheffield. Firstly it's hidden away behind Blockbuster like some chained-up mental health patient in Victorian London. Then when you get upstairs you're met with a large expanse of space and a food and clothes shop which looks like something which has been preserved for historical value since an apocalypse.  My previous 'most depressing place' was Banners in the 80s. I don't know why, it just filled me with depressing dread every time I entered it.  Can you think of any others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hennypenny   10 #3 Posted February 28, 2012 I agree that the Hillsborough post office is depressing. I don't know why they don't rent out some of the space on short term lets to craft units or small stalls, at least it would bring in some income and provide a space for small businesses.  I am not sure if it is the most depressing place in Sheffield though.

maaaargaret   10 #7 Posted February 28, 2012 Can't make my mind up about the worse places but the depressing, gloomy, urine infested subway and multi-storey NCP carpark underneath the Odeon/ Academy in the town centre. A 'glorious' and 'inviting' building that visitors to our city endure if you don't know how to avoid this coming from the train station.
