Give your support to an investigation of the Castle. There is also a presentation of the Plan in the Winter Gardens on 17 and 18 May. So what's the difference between a "plan" and a "masterplan"? Don't we really need "a cunning plan"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saw119 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'd take any kind of plan at the moment! Apart from the one that involves knocking everything down and building things that need to be knocked down themselves in 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Indeed Dave, but doesn't 'cunning' imply some degree of intelligence and foresight? Given the current state of the Moor and the Sevenstone saga, this smacks of flights of the imagination to help forget what a mess the city centre is. I wonder if it involves demolishing Sevenstone as soon as it's built (should it ever be?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 There's an aerial photo from 1933 on Britain from the Air, centred on the markets, that shows the site of the castle beautifully fossilized by the surrounding streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Talk on Sheffield Castle Tuesday 27 May, 1pm By kind permission of Sheffield Museums Trust, Dr Glyn Davies of the Friends of Sheffield Castle will repeat his intriguing talk in activity room 3 at Weston Park Museum. Such was the interest shown last time some 40 odd people were turned away due to space constraints – please note that sixty places are available for Glyn’s talk and booking is essential – send an email tobigronclayton@hotmail.co.uk The talk lasts some 40 minutes, followed by questions, is illustrated and is delivered by the last archaeologist to carry out work on the enigmatic site of Sheffield’s lost castle – it is also a great opportunity join FOSC and learn about their activities.

Bayleaf Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 The ARCUS (Archaeological Research and Consultancy at the University of Sheffield) Report 669b(1) was prepared by Michael McCoy and Mark Stenton, with illustrations by Marcus Abbott. It represents perhaps the most in depth assessment of the Castle ruins currently available. With kind permission of the University, the report is now available on the Friends of Sheffield Castle website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 If anyone missed the excellent talk about the castle by Dr Glyn Davies at the Museum, a video of the talk is available courtesy of the University of Sheffield via a link on the Friends of Sheffield castle website. Unfortunately you need iTunes to view it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Just a reminder that this next Sunday sees the re-enactment of an important event in Sheffield's often forgotten history, the surrender of Sheffield castle to Parliament in the Civil War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
