Sheffield History Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Anyone remember these on the top of the Moor outside Debenhams and McDonalds? They were a big feature of the Moor back then but when did they disappear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lysander Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The wholesale spending of money on the Moor after pedestrianisation by uncovering a section of the old tram track... creating small gardens and features...as well as building a bandstand which if memory serves me was used just once, and kiosks and small retail units...Sounds great and probably as good as the waste of money that's just happened at the other end of the Moor...with stone benches and silly statements/sayings inscribed on them.

Lemmy117 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I seem to remember these were removed when the Moor was re-developed after being 'sold off' by the Council to a property management company, so sometime late 90's early 00's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hjdary Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I ended up in Sheffield in 1993 and they were there then but can’t remember them being there too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a big feature of the Moor back then but when did they disappear? Didn't they look stupid? Two white elephants would have looked better.
