Sheffield (England)

...alot of changes! I think Sheffield is definetley a City on the up, but is still lagging behind its neighbours Leeds, and Manchester. In my opinion Sheffield council has wasted a lot of money on silly schemes and plans when it should have been looking at improving roads and public areas. Over the last 10 years or so they seem to have blown a lot of money, for example Supertram, World Student games and more recently The centre for popular music. As ...
...Anyone who lives in Sheffield will know the Peace gardens, a well known area for our drunks to sleep and get merry, so what did the council do spend a fortune doing it up!!! why not spend the money on finding somewhere for these people to live and helping them with there problems. Anyway apart from that its a fantastic place and is very popular with students, and has a great night life. Where I live if I travel 5 minutes one way i'm in the heart ...

Review of Sheffield (England)

Sheffield is one of the best places to be. It is full of attractions for everyone. It has a great nightlife with many clubs including Gatecrasher at Republic. There is a huge shopping centre called Meadowhall, which also has a cinema. There is a centertainment near to it called UGC, which has really big screens and a lot of leg room. In the city centre there are also quite a lot of shops and an area to rest in and admire called the Peace Gardens ...

Review of Sheffield (England)

Sheffield became a city in 1889 approxiamate guess. Its the fourth largest city in England, with London, Birmingham and Leeds just in front of us. We have two universitys Sheffield Hallam and University of Sheffield. We have two fhigh profile football teams, Sheffield United and Wednesday. We are also home to the oldest football club in the world, Sheffield FC still in exsitence. For some strange reason Rotherham United have started to play games ...

Review of Sheffield (England)

Sheffield - a place of natural beauty. I have now lived in Sheffield for 14 years and it really is a great place to live or visit. You can be in the town centre with thousands of busy shoppers one moment and only 8 miles away you can be in one of the most tranquil places in England, the peak district. In the past 10 years Sheffield has really gone though a major facelift especially in the city centre with new attractions such as the winter gardens ...
...pleasant place to live/visit. Sheffield is also the home to Medowhall ,one of the countries largest indoor shopping centres with around 250 shops inside.Medowhall ,often nicknamed medowhell by the locals is the perfect place to by everything under one roof especially if it's a rainy day but unfortunately it is utter madness during the weeks running up to Christmas. Sheffield is also home to two football teams (well professional ones) Sheffield United ...

Review of Sheffield (England)

What can I say about this place? Well ive lived here for 21 years now, and loved every minute. Wherever you are, youre never more than about 15minutes from breathtaking scenery, rolling hills and the beautiful sight of the hills on all sides of the town centre. Of course, the big out of town shopping centre that is Meadowhall™ has virtually killed off the aged city centre. The only redeeming feature of "town" now is that theres a virgin megastore ...
..."gardens". Good job meadowhall is one of the better shopping centres in the country then isnt it? one word about the locals - theres nowhere on this planet where you will find more helpful, cheerful and talkative strangers. Simple as that. On a bad note - the bus service is appalling. OK sure, theres loads of buses to student areas and the like, theres even a 24 hour Service to Crookes etc, but the other parts of the city are poorly serviced. Not ...

Review of Sheffield (England)

Sheffield in South Yorkshire was once the greatest producer of Steel in the whole world. The City built its reputation on quality steel, in particular the craftsmanship that went into the cutlery made there. Today there are only a few small steel companies left in the City, but the decline in the steel industry has not led to the decline of the town. The plight of the steel workers was a problem for a number of years (watch the film – The Full ...
...live or visit. Sheffield has an excellent location for travel, being on the M1 motorway and with a fast rail link to London. Most of the area of the former steel works is now the excellent Sheffield Airport that is continuing to grow in its popularity and use. The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield has become synonymous with the World Snooker Championship, but also this is the location for many other great productions during the year. The 12,000 seater ...

Review of Sheffield (England)

I'm a Geography student at Sheffield University and I've just finished my first year. Sheffield is a great city to live in, and surprisingly is a very interesting city to visit. The thing about Sheffield is that everyone thinks that it's a city in decline, in fact large parts of the city are actually thriving. Sheffield deserves to have a good tourist industry but because of its reputation it seems to be doing really badly. It's not for want of trying ...
...best way to take in Sheffield is perhaps as a day trip if you are staying in the Peak District which is just next door. There is still loads to do now that the National Centre for Popular Music has closed. My particular recommendation is the Kelham Island Museum. This museum tells the story of industry in the North of England particularly Sheffield's steel industry. It covers the whole indutry, covering economic and social factors as well as industrial ...

Review of Sheffield (England)

...reflection upon the city of Sheffield itself. Sheffield is a great place to live. Out of town there is scenery in all corners, in town you'll never be board of anything to do. Theatres, Cinemas, Shops, Scenery, Leisure Facilities, Sheffield has them all. With the famous 'Anston Stones' just a 30 minute bus trip away from the city centre, and the world renowned 'Ponds Forge Leisure Centre' just a 2 minute stroll away from the bus station. During ...
