Sheffield's looking a bit rough around the edges.

I'm in my late fifties and I can just remember the old Sheffield...just think what it was like down Atterclife and Darnall with all the back to back houses chimneys belching smoke out from the steel works..bark grimy terrace houses everywhere most with no bathrooms or inside toilets...remember no go areas up on the manor and places like Wincobank flower estate.no Sheffield has come a long way in the last thirty years.

I can also remember the things you mention, and indeed Sheffield has come a long way. But so has everywhere else.

 

You have to ask yourself if Sheffield Council are making the most of its opportunities.

Yesterday, for the first time in ages I visited town, I had a walk around the moor, peace gardens etc. I was pleasantly surprised, it all looks quite swanky.
