00:00 Could you tell me please what you think the landmark in Sheffield that we no longer have
00:04 is that you miss the most? To be honest the old Peace Gardens, St Paul's Garden which is
00:11 adjacent to the Town Hall. We've now got the new hotel and we've got everything that goes with it
00:20 but personally I miss the Peace Gardens. It was a nice place to sit quietly and enjoy springtime
00:27 which you can't you know we can't do that anymore because it's not there. Could you tell me what you
00:32 think the most missed Sheffield landmark is that's no longer with us? Yes that'll be the Twin Towers
00:38 up at the Tinsley Viaduct. Why did you like those? Well the reason being that obviously when you're
00:42 going on a journey anywhere especially north when you're coming home the minute you see the towers
00:46 you know you're home. Could you tell me please what you think Sheffield's most missed landmark
00:51 is that's not with us anymore? Yeah it's got to be the Hole in the Road. I think back to my youth
00:56 I was born in 54. I was an original skinhead when I was about 15 or 16 when skinheads were decent
01:03 then not racist. The public they are now and we also used to meet up in Hole in the Road and it was just a
01:11 fantastic community feel which is what Sheffield always had. It's still got it now but you gain
01:18 something to lose something so like we're now multicultural we gain a lot but we've lost a lot
01:23 about what old Sheffield was like. I was born in Atticliff Common. I was brought up on Fox Hill. I used to catch
01:30 a bus into town every Saturday often by myself it didn't matter if I bumped into one person I knew I
01:37 bumped into 15. You always end up you know in a group walking around and we've lost that now.
01:43 Can you please what landmark that Sheffield hasn't got anymore you miss the most?
01:47 I miss them more the one I miss the most there are many but the one I miss the most is the
01:53 Hole in the Road when Sheffield was thriving a thriving city not like it is now thank you.
02:00 Tell me what landmark that Sheffield no longer has that you miss the most?
02:04 Definitely the cooling towers by Meadowhall. What did you like about them? They were there.
02:11 Sheffield coming down the motorway Sheffield here. Tell me please which Sheffield landmark
02:16 that's not there anymore you miss the most? Castle Market. What do you miss most about it?
02:22 Well since the Castle Market shut it killed the bottom of the town everything now has gone on to
02:33 more. All the traders when the council decided to shut the Sheffield Market down
02:44 thing and put them in the air they put all rakes up so most of the
02:51 people come to put rakes and now it's killed the bottom end of Sheffield city centre.
