So glad it was saved from demolition as its such an iconic sight in the city.
Interestingto hear the residents comments about it becoming more of a community than it is. Sadly I don't think that's too likely. Families and old neighbours moved in together in the 60's, community was just being relocated there.
People just engage on their own level more 60 years on, a lot of their friends are online, at the end of a video call or thro social media.
Society was damaged beyond repair in the 1980's thro thatchers policies, and the one up man ship promoted and have never recovered.
Same all over Europe so it was an improvement whatever people say. In Le Havre, no hot water, no individual bathroom, a coal-fuelled stove as a kitchen, shared toilets outside. And that was before WW2. Slum-like conditions my grand-mother experienced!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, very professional content!. Thanks for sharing this story of park hill. Regards.
Thank you so much loved it!
Thank you so much for making this, it's great
I lived in one of the Hyde Park flats behind Park Hill for a while when flats were rented out to students. The Garchey System sink stank and there was condensation on the concrete floor in the bedroom over the walkway. Apart from that, it was very cosy. I studied the difference between the 2 sets of flats in the final year of my degree at Sheffield Hallam. Fascinating trawling through the archives at the library. Park Hill housed an existing community and the streets in the sky all met ground level at one point. Hyde Park did neither. Fascinated to hear that the demolished part of Hyde Park was used to fill the famous Hole in the Road. PS My late grandfather, R H Mattocks, co-wrote the Sheffield Civic Survey with Abercrombie in 1924 and went on to be President of the Institute of Town Planners during the War. He'd have been fascinated with all this had he not died in 1949.
Interesting. I'd live there if I could afford it.
And there’s the problem ! Before they brought in private developers and the council made a quick buck , we could afford to live there !!!
I think you should paint it all white with greek blue tiles and a garden park on top of the roof trees and bushes And a swiming pool on top of the roof so people can see stars at night put nature into parkhill to save the planet and have Pond with fish corb
In Sheffield , it’s freezing up there 🤣
Does anyone who’s a Sheffield native live in there ?? And I’m watching in 2021 , is it finished yet ??
No dude, they are all young yuppies or foreigners. Southern university educated accents is all you will hear. There is hardly any Sheffielders about round there at all, I hardly see any, you would instantly recognize a Sheffielder because they would speak to you! The set down there now are totally alien 👽 and in their own gentrified socially cleansed world 🤣
Not keen on those exposed concrete interior walls makes the flats look unfinished and nothing arty or modern about that.
