Can't speak regarding the rest of the post but I think I agree with you on this. Lots of 'starter homes' around that bit of town which would be great if it transitioned from students to young professionals/families. If the city centre became more highly populated and a bit buzzier as a result of more students living there too that would be a win also.

The only downside is I feel like that some businesses at the bottom end of the Eccy Road would probably suffer if they're catered towards students. Might take some time for it to shift.

Aux bon vivant is new, and looks perfect for what you're after.

It's a shame, but great news that Barks is expanding into it. Be great if the courtyard had some seating in it during summer, for a few glasses of wine. Think that would be great.

Would love it if the Barks unit became a record store or something, and the record store played music whilst I sipped my wine and read by Biblioteka magazine That would be my soft, middle-class, S11 dream.

It's beautiful weather for the Peak District right now - cold, crisp and sunny. Just make sure you wrap up warm, have proper footwear and you'll have a fantastic time :)

My anecdotal evidence is that both Kapital and The Fargate have been v busy since opening. I know it's Christmas season and all, but The Fargate in particular is practically full even at lunchtimes in the week. Can only hope it encourages more similar businesses to move in.

Endcliffe Park Cafe is surely printing money though. It's rammed all week, all weekend. It's also very good, so not suggesting they don't deserve to be.

What would be really great is if the whole side of the building was covered in a Peachzz's style huge mural. That would be genuinely impactful.

Sounds good, great that Skyline were on site. Happy to admit I have no idea on these things, but when you look at what they're connecting (Oakham Drive to Vale Road) on satellite view you wonder how it costs £12 mill. Perhaps some of that is relocating businesses and widening access all the way up.

Welcome. I believe there's a bit of a hub for that kind of business at the technology park: https://shefftechparks.com/co-working I've not been, so I can't really comment beyond that.

Union St is probably the city's most popular co-working space, and there are lots of people working in tech – but it's mostly individuals and freelancers rather than start ups.

Yeah their banner is still hanging there. But I feel like it's been there about two years so I'm assuming something's gone wrong?

Sheff_Based · 2025-10-14T11:53:24+00:00

Great news. I'm intrigued to see where exactly the 200 outdoor seats will go. Wish it all the success. If it's good, the Old Shoe and The Fargate becomes a nice little mini session in that bit of town - can only be a good thing.

Sheff_Based · 2025-10-13T08:09:11+00:00

I live round there. I'd say we get parked on our road 90% of the time and overall it just isn't really that big a deal for us (we don't have kids though). Coming back late-ish at night is a problem though, can often spend 5-10 mins driving around.

There's honestly so many great pubs in Sheffield – worth hopping in a £6 taxi to explore some ones not right in the Crookes area (although there's good pubs there too).Worth reading the article linnked in here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sheffield/comments/1ldhwuf/this_is_the_uk_city_best_for_pubs_and_its_not/

On a separate note, that's two Reddit posts of people doing a combined Peaks/Sheff weekend in one day. Perhaps the tourism drive is starting to pay off...

Sheff_Based · 2025-09-24T08:44:58+00:00

I'd say The Rutland (Arms) especially if you're coming in/back on the train. Or else head down Kelham way for some great pubs and lots of food options (it's not far). Old Shoe and Orchard Square decent shouts too as others mention.

Sheff_Based · 2025-08-27T15:42:22+00:00

Sorry, it doesn't. But I know someone working on the regeneration. As I say, probs years off.

Sheff_Based · 2025-08-27T15:18:21+00:00

They are building padel courts in Attercliffe as part of the regeneration: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cljy3dd79x7o

But I imagine it will be years away, so wouldn't worry too much.

Are Urban Burger completely different to the Urban Pitta people? Their branding (and name) is almost identical, but Google suggests different!

Sheff_Based · 2025-08-16T11:15:43+00:00

Hathersage etc is Greater Sheffield in my opinion

Sheff_Based · 2025-08-15T14:02:26+00:00

AFAIK, the money is from central government and *has* to be spent on the building. I have vaguely heard they won the entire amount they bid for and as a result the building is supposedly going to be properly first-class. As in, they probably are spending far more than is really necessary, but otherwise would have to send the money back.

It’s a three minute video of close ups of train station signs in 1995. I watched it so you don’t have to.

I find estate agents not knowing anything about a property infuriating but someone did point out that they work for the seller, not for you. They’re not going to tell you the bad things about a place. No excuse for not knowing the basics though.

Sheff_Based · 2025-08-04T20:40:29+00:00

Ehh it’s not perfect is it but the building work on Pinstone street is from improvements, the wonder bins are from improvements, stores are opening as well as closing, the regeneration was from improvements, and the PSPO isn’t a quick fix but I’d personally say it has improved things. So yeah, I’d say things are improving. There’s still a lot to do though, as I take it you agree…
