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 😊
I do enjoy my Sunday mornings with you guys on your fun adventures. You’re great guides and are making the planning of a trip to Britain more difficult to map out (in a good way 😊).
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...
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?
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.
Beautiful, diverse city with a great pub scene, great food scene, countless parks and easy access to the Peaks. I am from Rotherham next door which I hate. But I will always be proud of Sheff.
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.
"Does your hirsutus you sir?" 😂😂 Somebody give these two a comedy show! Brewski looked amazing! Sheffield eh? Who would've thunk it. Great one as always. Bit of a shame you didn't run into Def Leppard!
Some bits are nice and some bits are very deprived and run down, nice hills and views around Sheffield, people are friendly in the shops and restaurants, supertram is good but downtown is a building site full of dodgy people!!
We're in the throws of yet another city centre development scheme but we've been assured (again) by the powers that be that when it's finally completed it will look great. Watch this space as they say...
Funny you should joke about the police box being the entrance to a secret club. Just to the left of the police box is a set of stairs and a lot of locals don't even know this. Go down the stairs and there's an award winning cocktail bar called public in what was once the women's public toilets
Born and bred sheffielder here. Take a trip down page hall, spital hill, firvale firth Park,haymarket. What shit holes. And not to forget the moor now thats full of gangs and looks like beiruit.
Amazingly, my negative comment about this vid was taken down a day later. So, lets see if the same thing happens again on the open forum of You Tube......................................

there is no large city in the world that doesn't have bad parts but Sheffield is such a friendly place no wonder so many students stay in the city after they finish university (great video by the way)
It's quite a common thing to have a long weekend away in Europe because everything is so accessible. A couple of hours on a plane/train and you're in a totally different country.
Sheffield is indeed a great city. Unfortunately it also has a high percentage of drug users. I got threatened with a machete before having my wallet grabbed.
We would be a great city if not for the worst city council in England, next time come see suburban Sheffield it shows it’s worth as the greenest but when it comes to the city centre, it’s far behind other city’s
Were you in the WWII house backyard section of Kelham Island Museum (where you saw the outhouse) when the air raid siren went off? If not, then you missed quite a haunting experience.
Thanks 👍 we are realistic with our expectations but we always try and seek out the positive when travelling which usually leaves us pleasantly surprised!
Didn't know that sheffield is that nice ,we once went shopping there in the city there is a huge shopping mall.Nice video boys ,thank you,seems you've had a lovely day.I like the big green house ,looks nice!greetings from freezing hamburg🥶
It really is a gem! Such an incredible city with so much to see and do. Could easily spend a few days there. It’s a little chilly here too but summer is coming 🤞🏻
Nice video guys you have been to a few cities now, Will you be returning to Birmingham anytime soon I went recently and did the same sort of things as you guys it was fun. 👍
Hi George, yes Birmingham is on our list to get back to as you know the weather really scuppered our plans last time. We hoping to get there during the summer 😊
You are joking right? The city smells of weed and cigs, it stinks. Carling spilt beer Sheffield. Beggars everywhere. Streets blocked off with concrete blocks. Department stores are all but gone. 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. No Wilko no nothing but dismal bleak city centre nothingness.
There’s lots of investment, Cambridge street, Kelham, the high street have all seen a lot of development and investment in recent years. The East Asian food is some of the best food in the city and the drug users are all natives. Sheffield was in decline in the 70s and 80s when the iron and steel was outsourced from abroad instead of locally
@@SM-fk5orYou call urine infested streets an investment? The air is poisoned with cigarette smoke, vomit, and weed. Kelham also had a gun DRUG gang battle a few years ago and the city shops sell crap that nobody wants. Think of this another way. Who goes Sheffield city town centre unless they pass through for hospital appointments or travel via Midland station.
My City is being diversified into a s hole landscape, I regularly get to watch what I can only describe as immigrant bum fights in the city while waiting for a bus. It has changed beyond recognition. So sad for us Natives.
Immigrant what? The crackheads are all white. I’ve yet to see immigrants fighting in the city centre, the ones stealing, begging, being a nuisance and cracked out of their minds are all native Brits. I live in Sheffield. We can meet up and we can do a tally of all of them and compare how many are white Brits and how many are immigrants

True
Er...had industry ya mean...all gone...shameful!!
Ok ok! I’ll add Sheffield to my list of awesome places to visit!
Thanks for all the inspo, guys :)))
You’d absolutely love it.

Such an interesting, fun video. Sheffield is right on my doorstep and I never think of visiting as a tourist.
Hopefully we have inspired you to do so now Tony, it’s a very underrated city.
I do enjoy my Sunday mornings with you guys on your fun adventures. You’re great guides and are making the planning of a trip to Britain more difficult to map out (in a good way 😊).

You always manage to find the creepy dolls 😂 Nice to see John's hometown from another perspective 👍
Or do the creepy dolls find us?… *shudders* 😂

Glad you enjoyed it!

We will happily accept the award for pun of the year 😂 Sheffield is amazing, an absolute gem!
@@JJExtra I'm still chuckling at "We always sniff out a toilet wherever we go!" (Salisbury). Comedy gold, you two xx
Funny because it’s true… look at the outhouses we found at the museum in Sheffield 😂
In the 19th century, this pit housed a fully grown black bear for the entertainment.
Some bits are nice and some bits are very deprived and run down, nice hills and views around Sheffield, people are friendly in the shops and restaurants, supertram is good but downtown is a building site full of dodgy people!!
Thank goodness, someone telling it like it is. These two Muppets haven't got a clue.

Sheffield is a shadow of its former self.
I live here and it really isn't.

Thanks for the info, we will remember that on our next visit!
Born and bred sheffielder here. Take a trip down page hall, spital hill, firvale firth Park,haymarket. What shit holes. And not to forget the moor now thats full of gangs and looks like beiruit.
All cities have deprived and run down areas. Why would a tourist visit them though?
👍🏻
The ☕ look like a soup
It definitely didn’t taste like it 😂
I live in Sheffield .The city centre is a dump .Graffiti .Litter .Shops closed .Run down.
And junkies. Can’t forget the junkies
Absolutely not
The city centre is nothing more than a housing estate with no retail and no reason to visit
yes it is now go somewhere else we like how cheap it is here hahahaha

Nope

I visited Sheffield for the last time 30 years ago.
It was a ghost town!
It used to be fantastic but they ruined it!
We enjoy the city but granted we don’t know how fantastic it used to be previously. Shame to hear you feel it’s been ruined.
Fun video as usual but didn’t quite understand you. It was ranked 2nd best city break in Europe? What is a city break?
A city break is a term used to describe a short trip to a city, like a long weekend.
It's quite a common thing to have a long weekend away in Europe because everything is so accessible. A couple of hours on a plane/train and you're in a totally different country.
Fantastic video and thank you for covering my home town of Sheffield!
I want to visit your town.
Who nominated the secoond city in europe by british😊😊😊😅
I was born here 60 yrs ago...no longer can call it my home,lost its vibe losing its history thanks to clowncil.
Looks a surprisingly interesting place to visit 👍 apart from the lack of cakes😁 🍻
It’s a great city to visit and although we didn’t have cake (we didn’t have room after that dinner) there was plenty of cake around so don’t worry 😂
We have LOADS of cake, stunned they didn't find any. Can't shift for cake.
@@Pilot.0101 We have plenty of breadcakes😂
Sheffield is indeed a great city. Unfortunately it also has a high percentage of drug users. I got threatened with a machete before having my wallet grabbed.
Maybe they wanted to grab something else??
Yeah it’s a shame the city centre is infested with junkies
@@tumslucks9781 Like What lol
Love Sheffield ❤
We would be a great city if not for the worst city council in England, next time come see suburban Sheffield it shows it’s worth as the greenest but when it comes to the city centre, it’s far behind other city’s
Anywhere in particular you would recommend we visit next time?
Best city in the UK easy
No, it's still Nottingham - and I wasn't born there.
😂🤣 love Nottingham 👍🏻

then had pictures in the winter gardens

Luckily it doesn't have too many racists (like you) though. And they mostly stick to social media.
