Daven   10 #13 Posted November 28, 2017 I agree Paula. Centre of Sheffield is very depressing.  Wholeheartedly disagree with this. Sheffield centre is bright and lively at this time of the year. Scaffolding around a building doesn't really matter does it ? Open your eyes ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
longiesta   14 #14 Posted November 28, 2017 I thought WHSmiths building was being underpinned (could have imagined that though)  According to a planning notice stuck on the gate at the back of M&S the building that has Samuels and Paperchase in is having the upper floors converted to residential (from whatever was up there before!)

Guest makapaka   #20 Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Only until 'later in the year' apparently, which is worryingly vague.  Another empty site in the High Street doesn't look great does it?  There are large scale repairs required to the unit WH Smith currently occupy so they are moving into the old co op on pinstone street until they are completed. The council has agreed a subsidised rate during the temporary relocation so WH Smith can remain in town centre whilst the work is completed.
