    One of a few things I miss in Sheffield, the whole thing of being able to walk between shops away from traffic and with the fish. My Aunt, in her 80s, used to take me to the city, she'd ride with me on the upper deck of a bus and we would buy something in Redgates.

    Its so nice to see pictures of The Hole in the Road being built and used, it was a safe way to cross the road and very convenient, also a great place to meet up with people as everyone knew where it was, I think we all remember the fish tank, it seemed huge at the time.
    You mentioned Thornton's in your write up, I used to call in at that Chocolate Cabin for some Coffee Cremes and Rum Truffles on my way back to Pond St Bus Station, its kinda sad that the hole is gone now and Thornton's too.
    Thanks for your hard work and dedication, your making a difference, your video's will be even more useful down the road as we all look back.

    I loved the Hole in the Road too. It was a wonderfully mysterious place to me as a young kid and the fish looked as big as rabbits in that tank. I'm probably wrong about their size in reality, but that's how they seemed to me. Also those Sixties hexagonal tiles take me back straight away. Thank you for the video memories, I'm so sad they couldn't have kept (at least) this Sheffield landmark.

      You aren't wrong about the size of the fish, I believe they were some spices of piranha that ate all the others in the tank and just continued to grow. In the end there were only about 4 of them but they were huge.

    They could have and should have kept it in some shape or form. Terrible decision to fill it in. Many fond memories were made in that hole. Of particular note for me personally...Me and me mate were running away from the police back in the 1980's. We shot down the escalators and dived straight into that flower display in the middle...The coppers ran straight past us and we got away. We later joked about us being flowerpot men...Bill and Ben...Ahhh...the good old days...Funny, back then, i would never have dreamed i'd be writing this on a computer and the whole world could see my words on something called the 'Internet' 40 years later..! Great video thank you.
    EDIT... Me and me mate Brian had just nicked a pair of 'Smart R's' from Western Jean Company at top of Fargate. Anyone remember 'Smart R's'? Took me a bleedin hour to get them past me ankles...Drain pipe jeans.. All the rage back then they were..!
    And full circle...2023... NOW they're bleedin back...!!

    What almost nobody seems to know about the Hole In The Road, is that it wasn't supposed to be a hole at all. The original architects' plans were that the 'hole' was surmounted with a glass dome. Artist's impression were published on the front pages of the Sheffield newspapers in the early 1960's, but then the scheme ran out of money, and the dome was never built. So the most famous Sheffield icon of the 20th century was actually an accident.

That said, loved the massive fish in the tank, I remember a hugh white goldfish? Shame we can’t have more such displays. While reminiscing, I believe Botanical Gardens Victorian glass houses had birds and fish, has anyone pictures of this... must have been in the 60s / 70s Shame we can’t have some enthusiasts bring the animal life back, it’s a great attraction for families/kids...

    As iconic as it was/is, from a lot of these pictures, it seems like filling it in was the best thing to do

    I’ve seen pictures of it when it was built and it looked great! But all I remember in the late 70’s and 80’s was the graffiti and the smell of wee.

      They knocked down a beautiful theatre for the Crucible concrete block. Only the Snooker saved it.

    It was just a grotty underpass with the saddest looking fish ever. Anyone who claims fond memories of this dump never had to use it.

    Why are people sentimental about this place. It stunk of piss and there was vomit everywhere. Litter, discarded fast food, (usually a tray of chips n ketchup) and diesel/petrol fumes from the traffic surrounding it. A crap aquarium by any standards and drunk tramps wandering around shouting a lot. In the evenings, often violence. You didnt get wet or run over down there though🙂 I'm not dissing the video, just the place.

    • @SheffieldVideos
      @SheffieldVideos  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I totally agree with you. There's some strange nostalgia about it's last few years and people wanting it back but not a single one of those people will have dared to venture down there towards the end. it was a real no go area

      It's very doubtful you'd find any video of it. That's why it's pictures. But you wouldn't understand that.

      @ like the way TH-cam is a video channel not photo album but you obviously can’t grasp the meaning of it being a VIDEO channel duhh😂
