Andrew Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 On the carpark gates of the former (well they are closing it down) Sheffied Health and Social Care HQ on Woofinden Road is a plaque with the letters GWCH on it. Has anyone got any ideas? I have attached photos of the plaque, the gate lock which says something like "Hydes & ????? Sheffield" Your thoughts? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
