History dude Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I know SADACCA was a project funded by Sheffield Council's D.E.E.D. - Department of Employment, Economic Development, during the 1980's. It was one of several projects aimed at combating economic problems in Sheffield. Others included the Unemployment Centre on West Street and The Manor Employment Project (later to become Matrec) plus Star Works in Darnall and another project in Frechville.

Oldbloke Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I think SADACCA was the only one with a bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through the entrance door (on the left in the photo) was a sweeping stair case, curving to the right, to the reception on the first floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
