Good to meet you yesterday Tim. Hope I didn’t spoil your running commentary. Watching your video it got me thinking that our kids don’t have the same nostalgic fond memories we have. Also the amount of desolation and unhinged dismantling of our wonderful history. I get so angry at the clowns in charge who set all this in motion.

Good start to your walk Tim. Illustrating the desolation of once-thriving areas. What happened to the I996 plans when Mike Bower was Leader of the Council to build a new indoor market hall with a multi storey car park and new retail shops in Exchange Street bordering onto Broad Street? Somehow those plans were ditched and we got a new market down the Moor instead but not til twenty years later. One by one buildings have closed down and been left, often decades, as in the case of the Old Town Hall former Crown Court now abandoned thirty years. Canada House, formerly Panache House was left twenty years now going to be a charity music school for children; not a good spot I would aver right next to the tram. Looking forward to the delights of part 2 Tim. If you can find any!

I'm old enough to remember when Sheffield City Centre was a thriving bustling shopping centre always pulsing with life.

Bi tim great content mate love it

Hi Tim. Thanks for another great video. I pretty mmuch agree with you too. All those nice buildings and history jusr ruined by the council as always. I have also heard that the tram is now in the hands of the public too.

The whole market area back when I was growing up in the 80' and 90' was heaving thousands of people around and it is like a ghost town now, I think I remember an open market behind the UK steel murial as well as the Castle, Sheaf and the stalls in between the two. I remember fondly going to the cafe's on Saturday mornings with my Mum and Grandma, The upstairs cafe in the Sheaf, and I think there was a couple in the Castle not to mention the fish market with the monkey that spun around the bar. I know it is supposed to be progress but to see it like this is depressing.

Moor Market smells worse than anything its possible to describe.I was in Manchester yesterday and its actually a living city not one closed down by the council.

sheffield was great in the 80s 90s, don't even recognise it anymore, glad I left

Sheffield or Mariupol ? Zombie city vibes Tim it's awful. Unfortunately we will never get anywhere near a 50% pullback to what it once was or should still be and worse still nobody will be held accountable when this agenda proves to be disasterous . Agree that the remains will be interesting but thats about it for me. Good video Tim

Pause the video at 04:12 There's a sign saying beware cyclists

The tram bridge is called bow bridge

Sheffield voted for 4 more years of this

Where's the rest of the video? That a part 2?

Crikey more desolation. The City was a thriving hub of business and shops. Now look at it. Hardly a success story and I try to avoid it as much as possible.

its gone and its never coming back, no point living in the what and how it used to be, just accept that its shit now

The whole city centre is now a tacky unwelcoming dump, a human battery farm with people packed into boxes in the sky. The slums of the future for sure, it's been tried before and they know it.
