Sheffield's a city though not a town

Stocksbridge a town within the city of Sheffield is top of my favorite list , wait for the inane six finger comments and my two finger reply.

 

You inbred 6 fingered sister-fancier...

Since Middlesbrough isn't on the list I refuse to believe it's authenticity.

Everyone to their own opinion, you have yours and i'll have mine. I don't need to justify my feelings about Rotherham to you or anyone else.As for why I have stayed here in the Rotherham Borough the same applies my business and nothing to do with anyone else, where I live the Post Office class my address as Sheffield and not Rotherham, all my mail is addressed Sheffield so im quite happy as things are.

I've seen a book called "crap towns" and Hull pipped the number one spot.

Why make a comment if your not willing to comment further on it,

you say rotherham is crap, you say you live there, but you do not give any info as to why,

now you say you are a Sheffield resident according to the post office,

so your not from rotherham, and so your first post really was a waste of time,

 

tbh, i just think your a dick for making a comment but giving no info,

someone to be ignored in future

just look at sheffield,

apart from around the peace gardens, the rest is a mess, its a dirty mucky hole,

it is not a nice clean place, its just a friendly city with mostly friendly people in it,

 

People often say this - cant say i'm convinced.

 

nice parts of the city centre:

 

Peace Gardens

Division Street & Dev Green

Ecclesall Road (depending on your def. of centre)

Tudor Square

Leopold Square

Train Station / Outdoor Space

Chaple Walk

 

Acceptable Parts / areas with redeeming features:

 

West street (does what it says on the tin - chain pubs and restaurants on a big thoroughfare)

Fargate (perfectly nice if bland high street)

The Moor (used to be revolting, is currently nice, and will soon be very nice)

The Canal Basin

The Catherdral / Campo Lane (nice bars / pubs / resturaunts - improving area)

Kelham Island (ace pubs and an interesting area, if mixed with some grim bits)

 

Grotty Parts of the city centre:

 

The Wicker (but only because of how it feels, as some of it looks great)

The Castle Market Area (just revolting, dirty and threatening feeling)

Broomhall (though why you'd need to go there if you didnt live there is moot)

the stretch from the old derelict hotel up to the devonshire cat

 

there's some real gems in there, as good as any city (the indie pubs, theatre district, peace gardens and winter gardens), and some hidden / forgetten bits too (the graves gallery etc).

 

outside of all that, the rest falls inbetween the levels. at the end of the day, roads, car parks, loading bays, brownfield sites and industrial buildings aren't pretty anywhere, but are always present.

 

i honestly think the city centre has an undeserved reputation.
