Thread: Trip to Sheffield

Thanks so much for the pictures and story. Some beautiful buildings.

And the disposable razor.....well......umm beggars can’t choosers Phrank

I wish I could go over and see these things. Not enough time in the world! Perhaps someday!

Nice visit to my home city
I could have helped with a better razor than the plastic junk
Did you get to visit any other works or sites of them ?

Very nice pictures. I live very close to Sheffield myself and get into the city every once in a while, but I didn't know about some of the places you have shown there. I guess I will be dragging Mrs Porl around them next time we visit. She will be thrilled

yes! thanks for posting, very interesting.

I ended up having a pretty limited time but made it out to Sheaf Quay and wandered around the city quite a lot. I visited the Cutlers' Co Hall as well for a tour and to briefly speak with the archival staff, who were incredibly nice and helpful. Since the trip was somewhat last-minute, I hadn't really had a lot of precise research questions prepared, for which the Cutlers' Co could have been invaluable. I was really impressed with some of the more modern architecture and energy of the city, though that was mostly in the center, and I'm sure helped a lot by the presence of the Uni there.

Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
Cheers.

Thats just amazing! Nice old buildings, red bricks are by far my favourite!

Thank you Sir, that was an interesting post. That would be a sweet trip to go on last minute even! Very much appreciate your sharing it with us
