There are a huge number of companies based in the city centre, civil service, lawyers, accountants etc etc.  95% of workers come by tram? Ridiculous assertion, clearly not true.

You must walk round with your eyes closed. Just visit Fargate or the cathedral area. It's full of these ZOMBIES. I think it is you who lives in your own little world.

Guest busdriver1   #44 Posted August 29, 2019 What in my view would help Sheffield would be an awakening and realising it is not Leeds or Manchester but a different city that has its own character (😂) and history. The constant comparison to other cities only serves to illustrate its shortcomings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
burghley   10 #45 Posted August 29, 2019 I've only lived here not even 6 months; I moved up after studying Travel and Tourism in college as a mature student in another county (Lincolnshire) before moving here with hope of finding a position in that sector. Not been successful. The lack of tourism facilities is shocking! I've seen a couple of those Welcome Sheffield individuals with the black/green hats and waistcoats going around; but there doesn't seem to be a direct tourist information point. I get there's funding cuts, but for somewhere as big as this? Lincoln (nearby where I previously lived) had loads on offer for tourism and their main attractions are the castle and cathedral. Sheffield has the cathedral, Kelham Island and a few museums which are interesting for local history - Where's all the advertisement online to attract visitors? All I've found is the Visit Sheffield page but it doesn't seem to get out there. I've tried to contact the council about it, but they appeared to ignore or not be interested which is a real shame.

The biggest problem is there are no real tourist attractions IN Sheffield. The best it can offer is being near one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

House of Fraser? Virgin Megastore?  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
