Transcript

00:00Could you tell me what you'd like to see done with the old Salvation Army Citadel in Sheffield?

00:05I'd just love it to be taken back to as it was before. It does look rather odd at the moment

00:11because it's in between the modern buildings but the face of it, I'd love to see it back as it was.

00:19Tell me what you'd like to see done with the Salvation Army Citadel in Sheffield?

00:22It would be nice if it was preserved, if it was, I don't know, you know what I mean,

00:28and used as a sort of centre for some of the people to look.

00:35A social thing, a community thing?

00:36Yes, a community thing, yes. Because it's a shame to pull an old building down like that.

00:45Could you tell me what you'd like to see done with the old Salvation Army Citadel

00:49in Sheffield City Centre?

00:50Well certainly restore the architecture because it's quite an iconic building and it's quite

00:55individual, so something that restores that. Maybe something for the city,

00:59some community type venue or something.

01:04Could you tell me please what you'd like to see done with the old Salvation Army Citadel in

01:09Sheffield?

01:10I think I'd like to see the outside of it restored so it's back to its original,

01:14what it used to look like. But as for the inside, I'm not really sure what's in the inside,

01:17but maybe something for the community that everybody could enjoy and participate in,

01:22whether it's, I don't know if it would be a food venue or something, or entertainment,

01:26but just something that local people might want.

01:30Could you tell me what you'd like to see done with the old Salvation Army Citadel

01:35in Sheffield City Centre?

01:37Well yeah, I don't know, this is like a really pretty old historic building,

01:42so I think it's good to preserve the character, but obviously if it's sat there,

01:44it's a bit of a waste of that space.

01:46Anything that you'd like to see it done, used before?

01:48Anything people actually use, like a restaurant, even like a pub or something,

01:51as long as they keep to their character and don't change the atmosphere too much,

01:55I think it could be nice to have it as a community-based hospitality restaurant.

02:00What would you like to see done with it?

02:01I feel like anything community-based would be really nice. Maybe something to do with charity,

02:08or maybe a community centre where people can come together. Because it's very central as well.
