Transcript

00:00 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.

01:54 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.
