SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Castle Market, 30 July 2010 Castle Market closed in 2013 and demolition began in 2015. The indoor market has relocated to The Moor, on the other side of #Sheffield city centre. (In reality, #Sheffield doesn't have a centre).

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Netherthorpe #Sheffield 15.03.17 I don’t know how many dwellings can be found on each of the twelve floors of these Lego like tower blocks. It looks like there should be four flats per floor, but I’m sure that the council wouldn’t have been that generous in allocating space.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Kelham Island #Sheffield 10.03.08 I have no idea what this sign means. It seems to be forbidding something, but what it’s against, I don’t know. Entry into the otherworld? Consideration of the void?

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Sharrow Cemetery #Sheffield 16.05.04 Twilight... nightfall approaching... no-one around... The stupid star is an empty gesture, and the ridiculous symbols scattered about the outer circle are merely confirmation of the designer’s deep rooted halfwittery.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Marlborough Road #Sheffield 25.09.04 An act of violence presented as a work of art by someone who has no love for art. It’s fundamentally derivative, a meaningless gesture presented as an act of rebellion. Seen in a van parked outside the former home of Adela Pankhurst.

This Heat were a good group. I think this could be my favourite This Heat number: youtu.be/zG-q9Jozp4o?... I particularly like the change that comes in about 2 minutes in. Looks like all of their work is available on Bandcamp thisheat.bandcamp.com/music They put me in mind of Van der Graaf Generator

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Lodge Moor Bus Terminus #Sheffield 08.09.12 The pattern formed by countless buses setting off on their journeys reminds me of the rings of Saturn, surrounding the island-planet of grass & wildflowers that has probably reached its greatest height, following the end of summer.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED From Nursery Street, 8 April 2010 Neepsend gasworks was developed in 1852 but it became a disused industrial artefact that went the way of most of Sheffield’s industrial heritage & was finally cleared in 2015 & 2016 to make way for the expansion of Arthur’s Skips. #Sheffield

The citadel opened in 1894, and its main hall seated 1,800 people. It underwent major renovations in the late 1950s, but was abandoned in 1999 when the Salvation Army corps moved to new premises on Psalter Lane. The anti-capitalist Occupy Sheffield movement briefly took it over in 2012.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Salvation Army Citadel, 18/06/13 - 31/03/24 - 19/09/26 Spot the difference. It’s sad to witness the decline of this building. It’s an impressive space, right in the city centre, and it’s easy to imagine how it might be repurposed for the public good.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Acropolis Hair Design, Langsett Road, 9 July 2016 There seem to be a lot of hairdressing salons in the English-speaking world that refer to the Acropolis in their business names. Langsett Road in #Sheffield seems to have little in common with Athens.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Heavygate Road, 7 September 2016 This isn’t the kind of graffiti you’d expect to see on Heavygate Road, particularly on this part of the street, which leads down past well kept lawns, spacious bungalows, and a form of gated mansion en route to the main road. #Sheffield

Indeed he was - and more than once. Jailed for FIVE YEARS in 1996 (although the sentence was reduced to 21 months on appeal following a campaign to Free Fista) and sentenced to 18 months in August 2014, which is when the poster in the window dates from.
