    Sheffield born and bred, our city is grossly underrated. Yes, we have a lot of industry, I still work in steel manufacturing and proud to say I do in this famous city. Honestly, deserves more credit. The largest Theatre district outside London too 😊

    Sheffield's worst enemy is it's unpretentiousness. It doesn't shout like it's neighbours of Manchester & Leeds. But once you've discovered its secrets you're hooked like many visitors find and won't want to leave! I love your style guys. You definitely need more subscribers. By the way behind the green tardis is an old underground toilet which has been converted into a cocktail bar called Public. So there is sort of a secret club behind the tardis...

    • @JJExtra
      @JJExtra  5 месяцев назад

      Oh wow we knew there had to be a secret club behind that thing 😂 you’re absolutely right, we have been a few times and we think it is a very underrated city but we love it. Any recommendations of things we missed for when we come back again?

    • @colinynwa
      @colinynwa 5 месяцев назад +2

      Yep this exactly. I've lived in Sheffield for... well too many years to comfortably say and even as a local you are always discovering its hidden secrets both old and new. Its greatest charm and thing that holds it back is it doesn't make a fuss, just cracks on. Its cool in the truest sense of the world and doesn't need to shout about it. Alas it kinda does with Leeds and Manchester on the doorstep constantly screaming how cool they are 9(and thus not actually being cool!).
      The city I was happy to spend my wild years in and also the city I want to bring my children up in. Really is the best of all worlds and the old door city.
      Thanks for making it look as amazing it is in ya video.

      Old Queens head, the oldest commercial building in the City, and the Dove and Rainbow, whose history dates back to the 17th century and the current one is the 3rd after 2 before were both destroyed. 1782 and 1958. My 2 favourite pubs and they're very contrasting to each other.
      Also Sheffield has a rich football history and has bragging rights to being the home of football.

No investment, just dull dull dull. Decent Eats and drinks is above average at best in some pubs. Vapour shops mobile phone shops, betting shops and strange noodle bars replace the once great shops of the 60s,70s,80s and 90s. everything boarded up and in December Christmas lights cover a turd in Wainegate.
