Sheffield Forum Archive - Sheffield station parking... Yes, the former car park at the front of the station does look a chaotic mess, but if Sheffield One (or whatever they are called) had actually got their arse into gear and done their bit on time, that lovely new public square would have begun construction as soon as the multi storey opened. Also it doesn't help that Sheffield motorists brain seems to turn to jelly on approaching the station, and the simple abilities to read and follow large signs to the car park and not stop on double yellow lines seem to escape them. I've come to the conclusion that you are the resident Sheffield basher. www.sheffieldforum.co.uk /showthread/t-1917.html   (862 words)

The Midland Station When Sheffield’s Midland Station was built in 1870 it was marvelled as an achievement overcoming the immense difficulties of the local terrain, building rails and roofs over the River Sheaf and so successfully creating a relatively central railway station for Sheffield. The Stations position as the gateway to Sheffield was consolidated in 1970, one hundred years after it’s opening when all the existing lines merged (with the closure of both the Victoria and Bridge House stations) to operate from Midland Station only. Today the Station is in a state of change, it is undergoing a major £35million refurbishment programme in an attempt to make a ‘more accessible and easier to use train station’ (David Curtis ‘Sheffield Station on track’, 12 September, 2001). www.shef.ac.uk /~scgisa/trp6110/station/webpage/station.html   (633 words)

Guardian Unlimited Arts features Why Sheffield? The arrival of a new wave of Sheffield synth fiends (Jarvis' buddies the Fat Truckers, and the freakishly fantastic Pink Grease) suggests that a new bubble may be forming. "Why Sheffield?" is a question Eve Wood neither poses nor answers in Made In Sheffield, her 52-minute documentary on the steel city synth boom of the late 1970s-early 1980s, but she leaves enough circumstantial evidence lying around for the viewer to form their own conclusions. There was so little to do in 1970s Sheffield, says Heaven 17's Martyn Ware, that the youth had to make their own fun (Gunrubber, Sheffield's answer to Sniffing Glue fanzine, and the oddball-friendly Limit Club being two crucial examples). www.guardian.co.uk /arts/features/story/0,11710,1200903,00.html   (552 words)
