I got MAJOR anxiety when filming this video, I hope it doesn't come across. :-)

It doesn't show at all! Well done 😁
I think everyone noticed it at 0:21. That was a excellent intro, by the way, with the tram setting the scene and serving as a curtain opening.
Nicely done video Elise.
I made a point, rightly or wrongly of leaving my name on one of the walls underground before it got filled in. Who knows in years to come, some entrepid explorers might see my name and wonder who I was. Keep the vids coming 👍
Keep making more and that anxiety will be a thing of the past.
Didn't notice was watching the guy walking the other way 😀
Elise done good.
Even in the middle of Sheffield you still manage to explore a dark hole in the ground.
Walked through here thousands of times was on the city centre pub crawl from marbles (Hotel destroyed during sheffield blitz but rebuilt as a pub ) to the blue Bell happy 80's days
It was marvelous - loved the fish tank. Iconic meeting place.
Don’t forget the fish tank in t’. ‘Ole in t’ roooad
another informative and professional but also fun and welcoming video - you are going places my friend, you are going places.
It's interesting when you consider that a great deal of city architecture is very much designed around what they _think_ will be the best use of the space for the current/popular means of transportation. This is such a perfect example of it! In many Western nations, from about the 1950s to the 1980s, everything was about "the car" and trying to cater almost solely to it with pedestrian, bicycle, transit and other uses of a space being a second thought. In many cases, like this Sheffield example, it so alienated the space from general public appeal (outside of a car), that it broke the usage. I see a lot of cities, my own included (London, ON, Canada), making huge efforts to take roads and spaces and do very much the opposite now, prioritizing people, bicycles and transit while presenting the spaces as desirable to be in. I guess we'll have to wait another 30 to 50 years to see if it works out the way they hope. :)
Thanks again for making such neat videos that really hit on interesting topics!
Excellent - post war 20th century shopping centres were often odd, this one seems more peculiar than most!
I vaguely new about this, but I didn't realise where it was!
@Elise Freshwater-Blizzard
This location seems to fit in well with your overall theme of exploring holes in the ground. You *really* are good at presenting as your anxiety (as you mentioned) does not appear to detract from your grace and decorum. Those of us living with anxiety understand and are encouraged by your tenacity.
Maggie thatcher and her private transport!!
Ah I knew about the Hole in't Road but actually never realised it was at Castle Square! Lots of older Sheffieldites are very nostalgic for it!
It had definitely seen better days by the end, and the Tram that goes over it has been enormously convenient for the city (did you know that the Council initially drew up plans for an elevated monorail, which would have allowed the Hole to stay?) but still...I sort of miss it. It was our own little subterranean shopping precinct, with a huge fish tank built into the wall. It had character and I was sad to see it go.
nice bit of history , i have driven past there many times in the past never knew its history
Just been working in Sheffield staying at the premier inn near here. Great information
Thanks, interesting stuff!
Really cool to stumble across this video - as someone who has only lived in Sheffield for about 5 years I had no idea! Cheers!
I'd forgotten all about the hole in the road, although I knew of it at the time when you would want to forget about it. Well presented though!
Well that was something I did not know, two blast's from the past there , the hole in the road and C&A also
Another fascinating video!
Great job! You should consider making a new and in depth history of the Hole In The Road. I'd back it!
My favourite opening scene so far :D
Also, fantastic video! Short, concise, interesting and filmed on location which takes real bravery especially in Sheffield.
Thank you 💗💗
Another nice video. Some of your videos are at a slightly different ratio - there is a black bar at the top. Is there any reason for this - or just for artistic effect?
At least you are honest enough to leave your bloopers in - I edit mine out. Perhaps I should 'b roll' them at the end like you do.
That shopping center looks futuristic even by today's standards.
I lived in Sheffield for nearly 7 years. I'd heard about the Hole in t'Road, but never saw much about it. I wonder if there's anything remaining below ground such as foundations or parts of walls or old paving (as an archaeologist my mind often wanders in that direction)
that sounds like it would have been a really cool place to visit. I'm pretty sure Atlanta Georgia in the US has some similar-ish underground architecture that was put in for the olympics.
I visited Atlanta a couple of times as a teen for conferences and I noticed some intriguing sunken roadways downtown that I really wanted to explore, but being a teen and part of a group I wasn't able to sneak away. probably a good thing, I heard those areas were rife with crime, just like the Hole in t' road
As great as the caving videos are it's nice to see other content. It's got a Tom Scott vibe but with your own touch. Keep up the good work.
I remember it from 1993 and it being filled in in 1994
I bet it was probably disorienting to look up and see cars going by. I would probably get vertigo. Really cool idea, though.
nice
Hurrah for Public transport! Who would have thought that yo s and chavs investing the hole might have a ripple effect that leads to slightly more sustainable city living!
It wasn't that crime ridden, there was some anti social behaviour, the drunks used to gather on the benches sometimes to keep out of the rain as it was under shelter but generally they were no bother. It was generally an ok place during the daytime, sometimes there was the smell of pee in places after a Friday or Saturday night. I rarely went through there late at night l, maybe a couple of times but I don't remember it being that threatening of a place.
You say that it is tilted. How many degrees? Can you measure it?
Somewhat sad that an iconic location was ruined due to crime and/or antisocial elements.
this is exactly the story of Sergels torg in Stockholm, except that it's still there, full of shady people. and it's right smack in the middle of a prosperous EU capital.
Another slow speaking Tom scott in the making..
It was NEVER called the hole of Sheffield...It was called 'The Hole In the Road'.. The concete construction and methods used to build it were ingenious. The slant made it even better. Then they filled it in and built....Nothing...Awful shame.
