Mister M Â Â 1,622 #2 Posted January 16, 2019 Â Yes it certainly is. In some ways it's better, in others not so. Same with any city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
PRESLEY   1,228 #3 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Look at the start of the Full Monty film. Sheffield on the move. Now its at a stand still. A dump, undesirables every where its like summat out of a Charles Dickens book. It needs cleaning up. It wasnt like this till Thatcher came to power and that is a fact.  Edited January 16, 2019 by PRESLEY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

blackhill   10 #7 Posted January 17, 2019 I moved from Sheffield. Over the pennines to Blackpool in 1984. Go back visiting relatives and friends now and then. Definitely not the same. I used to live on Deerlands Ave. My old house and most around have been demolished. Don't know what's going to replace them. Thatcher and her motley crew ruined Sheffield and other areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
