A promotional video for Sheffield Partnerships Ltd. made in 1990. It looks at the growth and regeneration Sheffield - the country's 4th largest city. Original at Sheffield Local Studies Library VID 207.
I grew up in Sheffield and lived through the 90’s ‘regeneration’. period when millions were spent in a relatively short period. Supertram, student games, park hill and Hyde park flats, don valley stadium, ponds forge, Meadowhall etc. it’s all now falling to bits and the town centre is a shadow of how I remember it as a kid. Shame because the council really tried. I moved away in 2000 and never looked back. Good if you can find a nice house in Dore near to the Peak District away from the city squalor.
Went to University of Sheffield 1998-2001, have visited about once a year since. On my last visit a couple of weeks ago, I was honestly shocked at how the place has nosedived over about a year. It was just so....grubby.... Happening all over, though. Nottingham- Holy s**t...

Depressing isn't it. You are lucky you got out of here. I am still here.
I lived in Bradway from about 1983 to 1990. One of the posher ends of Sheffield as my folks had the post office there. Great times....
