Â Problem is it would cost a lot as mentioned. And it's just a little bit too far out of the way from all the new flats in Neepsend. It's a big risk. Â I hope it doesn't get demolished though.

WarPig   70 #24 Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) I recall seeing an old photo of this building as a house with front garden. Complete contrast to how it looks now.  There's also an old photo of it on picturesheffield  http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s00911&pos=4&action=zoom&id=4770 Edited December 23, 2016 by WarPig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
