Cyclone   10 #75 Posted January 31, 2018 There are new flats built about 400 yards away that seem very popular. The whole area is being gentrified.  So I think he's probably right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
*_ash_* Â Â 87 #76 Posted January 31, 2018 My money is on it being developed into a block of apartments. The building is big enough to turn into six units . Thats where the money is . Â I certainly think so. It's way too big to be a pub. Â Perhaps if all the new development was closer, there could be a pub use downstairs with flats above, but it's a few years down the line I think, the development to get that far up.

Olive   10 #77 Posted January 31, 2018 Agreed. The new ski slope will help with the regeneration as well. I did wonder whether a company like Wetherspoons would be interested. They will need a pub at that end at some point. Time will tell I guess. I can't help but feel sad that my dreams for the place were never realised but little people like me rarely get those kind of opportunities. Let's just hope they start restoring it soon.  Sorry you didn't get to put your plans into practice Gnomi. Best we can hope for is to see the building kept and restored as part of the plans of whoever has bought it. It will be really upsetting if their plans include knocking it down, there was a whole wealth of history in that area which has been almost entirely lost.

iansheff   83 #79 Posted February 1, 2018 My Great Grandparents used to live on Farfield Road in the 1920s, would love to see what it looked like but can't find any pictures. I imagine they were just back to back terraced houses. Only one I can find is this one taken in 1968. http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=zoomWindow&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s18231&prevUrl= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest makapaka   #82 Posted February 1, 2018 It survived the Sheffield flood and appears on lots of early photographs of sheffield recording the flood damage.  It's an important point of reference in that respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The nearest ones I can see are around Gilpin Street, or up near the ski village on Wallace road.  http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=53.3959&lon=-1.4857&layers=168&b=1 Edited February 1, 2018 by *_ash_* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
