Wardsbitter   10 #253 Posted January 22, 2013 Your souless quote is very interesting as the Sheffield Historical society are the one that are championing the destruction of the oldest trading places in Sheffield, The thousand year old Markets area. The soulesness continues.  Morning All  Fact-there is no such thing as the Sheffield Historical Society.  When I hear the phrase 'thousand year old' I think of the 1000 year Reich which I shudder at, in whose defeat I rejoice and also of the British Empire, whose part in its defeat, I rejoice at.  Earliest known Market Charter is 1296 which is a bit less than a 1000 years though undoubtably there would have been some small market before then but that will probably always remain a matter of conjecture. Before I get back to the subject in hand the spirit of a Market is in the atmosphere, character, created by traders and customers in the main.

There was trading in the area much earlier than that. As far as the Sheffield historical society is concerned call it what you want there is one . You last paragraph is bang on and the Castle Market is being destroyed so as a load of beards can sniff at rubble . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If not, where's your evidence to prove the markets were there  The Castle Market deserves to be leveled.  As for Jessops, the whole thing stinks. I mean, the University knew the building was listed before they got their hands on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
