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.

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.
