Pet_Shop_Boy Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I've heard the hole in the road mentioned on here a few times, and quite rightly so it was a landmark of our city, but was the old Egg Box building in the Peace Gardens another Sheffield feature that should have remained? Personally I think it looks far better now and don't really know why I'm starting such a debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mifsit Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I remember it coming down and thinking it looked exactly the same as in "THREADS" back in the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eggboxes sucked it looks better now, but only cause its more modern, ive been to the winter gardens once and doubt i will ever set foot in the place ever again. I dont know what all the fuss is all about its just a large greenhouse with a few plants in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilly69 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 The area looks so much better now. The egg boxes were a landmark, but not all landmarks are good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyesey Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 The egg boxes were a landmark, but not all landmarks are good ones. Exactly. The Staten Island rubbish tip is a landmark (it's the largest man-made object anywhere in the world) ... but nobody wants to see it. Something being well-known is no reason at all for it to be kept.
