I had to go to Broomhill a couple of times during the lockdown and was astonished at how quiet it was. Its normally packed. The RBS and the NatWest both closed down a few years ago. The RBS only opened two days a week before it closed.
It's a nice area Broomhill. Some houses are student accomadation. There are still private residences, some of them split into apartments. Often wondered what areas like this and Ranmoor was like when they were first built. When they were just one family homes. Quiet, leafy and very affluent area!
Can't see it being student round there, very expensive. Big houses converted to flats but not student! Yes, it's still leafy and affluent. Montgomery lived there and Sir Mark Firth moved to Ranmoor from Page Hall circa I880.
Going back 40 yrs, my first job was in a family owned insurance brokers, just about opposite the General Accident Insurance building on Glossop Road. I used to take the cash takings for the day to that big bank on the corner. I thought it was NatWest Bank.... well, unless it changed to RBS later, I might be going senile, lol! Oh yes, Tim, there was a parking lot behind Costa.
The big bank on the corner just before you get to Morrisons was Nat west and RBS was further down the road past the traffic lights and opposite the two bus stops.
Noticed a chin slinger there 🤦♀️yes was RBS , library further up I used to spend hours in there before internet , I never recall Broomhill being busy like this only during ‘rush hour’ Too many beauty shops and coffee shops all based for students Where broomhill tavern is it was thriving with lovely shops and a proper butchers , all similar to Crookes just up the road , nice video thanks xxxx
It used to be similar to Crooks, local shops for local people, now it's student land. Fancy removing the diagonal parking bays from in front of the shops? They presume everyone is a student on foot.
@@timawells I was shocked when I saw how they had took over Walkley, South rd was full of them and their cafes yesterday, it used to be all working class pubs and cafes. The pie cafe at the top of Palm street used to be a meet up for local Sheffielders, down to earth cheap grub. That's had the liberal treatment now, I looked in, they were all sat in it, you could just see who they were. All the Crooks, Walkley and Upperthorpe locals were all interconnected, not with the internet, but with local pubs and clubs. There used to be a cafe on South Rd called Big Irene's, it was an old school greasy spoon, she used to do meals on wheels for the needy and infirm on a Sunday, one of the Bathfield regulars, a community woman. Cafes been yuppiefied and the Bathfield is student flats now. Above it the Star and Garter pub knocked down, now a massive student tower block.
@@timawells Walkley will be pro European university set, immigration suits them and Arbourthorne will be Brexit, they've seen immigration lower wages and put pressure on council housing and hospital waiting times. The reality of Tony Blair.
Wow. It looks like Record Collector is still there (approx 8:54). I've still got at least one record I bought there around 1984. Seem to remember there was another good one on or near Division St.
they got rid of trams to force people onto buses. Imagine the scrap value of the tram fleet and rails. Qué buono, who benefits🤔 Yes, trams would have gone up there because the old trams network was citywide. At 45 seconds in, they are not student it is private residential, very expensive properties.

There is still a good on on Division st.
Prime example of a much needed area for supertram!
Supertram seems poor value to trams stripped out in 1960.
Won't happen it destroyed business on Infirmary Road in the nineties when the tracks were laid.

Yes, house prices and rent here is silly money.
