The lack of action on this fantastic Victorian gem at the heart of the Castlegate project should shame everyone in power in the city of Sheffield.

Part of the roof of the Old Town Hall in Sheffield has collapsed. It was on our first Top Ten Endangered Buildings list in 2007. It has been empty since 1995.
@VicSoc_SYorks and Friends of the Old Town Hall have been campaigning since 2007 for this important civic building.

The Woodhouse and District Community Forum (WDCF) want to turn the former Trinity Methodist Church, in Chapel Street, into a community theatre, arts, events and social space.
The congregation below had gathered in 1929 to mark the churches 50th anniversary.

I want to reach out to the thousands of @swfc fans and tell you that the English family of football fans are behind you and hope you restore your great club back to being a competing force in the game and free of business shenanigans that are wearing you down. Best of luck 👍 ⚽️

BBC Breakfast ran a feature on Sheffield Wednesday today. One of the people spoken to is Bill, an 84-year-old Owls supporter who called us last week because he was upset about a lack of communication over the situation with the North Stand. His emotion here says it all. #SWFC

Sheffield Wednesday is in deep trouble & deserves all the support it can get.

It was the first team I supported (back in the 70s)
Happy memories of regular trips to Hillsborough

@swfc is a mighty club & needs an urgent, viable rescue package led by fans & those who have a stake in its future.

[Forest Review @Forest_Review]

Feel so sorry to Sheffield Wednesday. Just goes to show these EFL ‘fit and proper’ tests aren’t actusllt fit for purpose. That imbecile owner has destroyed one of England’s biggest football clubs. It’s an absolute disgrace. #swfc

[Matt Johnson @MattJohno1989]

76 days since this photo was taken. Dejphon Chansiri and Amadou Paixao have brought one of the biggest clubs in English football to its knees. #swfc

LIGHTBULB MOMENT!

Plans for Leah’s Yard which once housed a collection of small manufacturing workshops will celebrate the building’s rich industrial heritage by reimagining the space as a contemporary and creative home for ‘makers’ and independent businesses within Sheffield
