Thanks to picture Sheffield. In Leeds there are streets and streets of buildings like this in everyday use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madannie77 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 The last time I checked this, Sheffield had 11 quarters, which at first doesn't seem to be very logical. However, the term quarter in this instance derives from the French word "quartier", meaning a district or neighbourhood, and is often used to designate an area where one trade or occupation predominates. It still seems rather confusing to those of us who take quarter to mean one fourth of the whole of something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysandernovo Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I wonder why our Council couldn't have used the simple English..."District"? ( derived from the Latin districtus) Perhaps "quarter" sounded sexier and more with it?😌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Probably went with the term Quarter because lots of other large cities were doing it at the same time, which I think was in the early 1990s. it was the trendy thing at the time and to some extent it has stuck. It does seem a pity that the council (or whoever came up with this idea for them) couldn't have used a bit of originality with the naming rather than just following the crowd.

31dec1966 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 When did the SA close it ? It seems to have been like that for ever. Every time I pass it I think what a shame it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
