Tell me what building in Sheffield you wish they'd never demolished?
00:02
Yeah the twin towers at Tinsley. Although they're not really buildings,
00:06
they were the sort of the signatories of Sheffield. When you came down the motorway
00:13
or up the motorway you saw the twin towers and you knew you were in Sheffield, you knew you were home.
00:18
Tell me which Sheffield building you wish they'd never demolished?
00:22
Well I'm assuming it got demolished at some point and that's Sheffield Castle.
00:28
We've been reminded of it recently because they're excavating it now, trying to find it and
00:34
do something. So that piece of history that connected Sheffield to really important people
00:43
in the nation, Mary Queen of Scots was held there apparently and I'd love to be able to visit it.
00:50
Can you tell me what Sheffield building you wish they'd never demolished?
00:56
Well I suppose I'd call it a structure more than a building and which I thought was a great
01:02
landmark when you entered into Sheffield and you were there because of the twin
01:06
cooling towers. So I'm guessing that's probably mentioned a few times because
01:12
wherever you've been in the country, wherever you've been travelling, as soon as you come around
01:17
the M1, either up or down and you see them, you know you're in Sheffield. So I would say
01:23
it's probably the, and also I worked in Meadowhall from when it opened for a long time and that was
01:29
something you saw day in day out. So it just seems weird driving past and not seeing them anymore.
01:34
Tell me please what Sheffield building you wish they'd never demolished?
01:37
Hold on, I'm on the castle now. Do you know what, the Castle Market?
01:42
Yeah.
01:42
The Castle Market, I really liked that, that reminded me of all that.
01:46
With my grandparents and the real Sheffield people.
01:50
Yeah.
01:50
All the people, yeah, fond child of memories.
01:53
Yeah.
01:53
Yeah.
01:54
Yeah.
01:55
Castle Market.
01:56
Yeah.
01:56
Tell me please what Sheffield building you wish they'd never demolished?
02:00
Well it's not perhaps a building as such but the hole in the road definitely.
02:04
You know it was iconic for Sheffield as far as I was concerned.
02:08
But yeah that's definitely the one that I'd sadly missed.
02:11
Could you tell me please what Sheffield building you wish they'd not demolished?
02:16
I wish they'd not demolished the Gormat cinema which is two mile left here.
02:20
There has been at least one building there since which has also been demolished
02:25
and they've put something else up now.
02:27
Again I have fond memories of the Gormat, going to see films like
02:32
Taxi and Taxi Driver and Paper Moon in the early 70s.
02:38
So I wish that was still there.
