Looking Up Sheffield

Healthy pod to blog ratio, but should do more. Interviews, ideas and more from the floor. Writings:

Amazing new @andycropperart exhib on Snig Hill. Covid era scenes showing an ever changing/changed #Sheffield

[Looking Up Sheffield @up_sheffield]

Glad Philip is doing well. His archive was fantastic and he had some great tales to tell on the 2019 tours we did.

[Sheffield City Council @SheffCouncil]

As Leah’s Yard prepares to open to the public after major transformation, we spoke to Philip Drury, the last business owner to leave Leah’s in 2000.
He showed us stunning pictures from the past 50 years and gave us his opinion on the redevelopment of the Grade II listed building.

Lovely run with the hound over some recently cleared Loxley footpaths. Thanks @FriendsLoxley for your superb life hacks.

[Sheffield Castle @SheffieldCastle]

Details of site Tours over 2 weekends in Sept, latest Castle site news and great article in recent issue of 'Current Archaeology' magazine. Catch up with all the news on our website here... https://t.co/tAmEKCuJI3

Celebrated a reyt big birthday. #loz50

[Looking Up Sheffield @up_sheffield]

Thought I'd have my lunch with the @86tvs. Lovely in store @beartreerecords.

[Now Then Magazine @nowthenmag]

We're at the huge anti-fascist rally in Sheffield city centre.

Around half a dozen far-right activists were here earlier, but were quickly driven out of Barker's Pool by a crowd of around 500 Sheffielders.

[Looking Up Sheffield @up_sheffield]

Lots to enjoy @tramlines in the local, especially Maximo Park and the entirely ageless @humanleagueHQ. £8.50 for a cheesey chips tho!

[Looking Up Sheffield @up_sheffield]

Loved seeing #chariotsoffire at @crucibletheatre - Robert Hastie's final curtain call as artistic director. Wonderful athleticism and staging from an ensemble cast who more than answer the question of "why are you running?"

[Looking Up Sheffield @up_sheffield]

Love this so much. When I was working on the first @LeahsYard comms plan I spent ages staring at the original photo. Great to see it recreated like this.

[Leah's Yard @LeahsYard]

🚨OPENING DATE!🚨

On Saturday 24th August the doors to Leah’s Yard will swing back open marking a new chapter in the life of this historic Sheffield building.

The first photo here was taken in 1981, the second yesterday.

The best of Sheffield in the heart of the city, again.

[Looking Up Sheffield @up_sheffield]

Amazing celebration of #Sheffield multi-culture and diversity - Dig Where You Stand - across the city. This is from Persistence Works.

[Looking Up Sheffield @up_sheffield]

Could this be the future of #Sheffield's rail network? @GarethDennis thinks so in this ace piece for @sheffieldtrib.

Given my recent love for boarding trams and then running home, this provides a great direction of travel... sure @adam0407 would agree!

Just discovered lad's doodles in an old @PeteMcKee diary. Love how he has abandoned imitation in favour of his own style within a week (similarity to Kate's Breathing entirely accidental)

[Looking Up Sheffield @up_sheffield]

@SimonOxley9 @BBCSport3CR @BedfordBluesRFC Gave me my first job after work experience at the Times & Citizen in Union Street in 1989. Always thinking outside the box, and a great journo too.

[Loz Harvey @laurie_harvey]

Great to witness the second coming of #SHFcontent @SHFcontent, albeit virtually. But judging by these wonderful floral shenanigans by speaker @joehornerphoto, the future is bright. Literally, the dogs.

[Upper Don Trail Trust @UpperDonTrail]

It's no surprise that we love a film about water, so we can't wait to see the dreamlike and euphoric RIVER by @jenpeedom at #Sheffield's @showroomcinema next month.

Stay tuned for a special offer for Trust members to see it and learn more about our own riverside mission

[Looking Up Sheffield @up_sheffield]

Surprised that @CllrTerry_Fox went for a custard cream rather than one of his own double crunch creams but I love the #Sheffield analogy and the latest bit of excellent writing by @sheffieldtrib
