    Sheffield Conservation Advisory Group SHEFFIELD RETAIL QUARTER Observations on the outline planning application 1. SCAG considered the proposals for the Sheffield Retail Quarter at a special meeting on 29 September 2015. 2. The question that the Group has considered is whether the scheme would preserve and enhance the character and appearance of the City Centre Conservation Area, in which much of the scheme lies, and its impact on listed buildings in, and immediately adjacent to, the area, one of which is Grade I (Town Hall). 3. The Group considers that the proposals are an improvement on the previous schemes produced by Hammersons, although has reservations about aspects of the scheme as it currently appears. These are set out below. The Group is also conscious that the success of the scheme will depend in large measure on the detailed realisation of the individual blocks. But they take the view that it is essential that the overall form and massing of the development is subject to critical analysis at this stage, given that an outline permission will constrain the way in which the scheme can be integrated into the fabric of the city. 4. The Group’s major concern is about the views of the development from key locations within the city centre and the relationship of new buildings to their immediate surroundings. The scheme proposals make much play of the view along Fargate and the proposed New Fargate from Marks & Spencers store to the new anchor department store to the north of the present Charter Square. The Group expressed concern over the views from the Peace Gardens and the Town Hall steps and the way in which the proposed height of buildings would dominate the frontages in Pinstone Street, including Town Hall Chambers.
  • Stephen Mallinder. “Sheffield Is Not Sexy.”

    Stephen Mallinder. “Sheffield Is Not Sexy.”

    Nebula 4.3 , September 2007 Sheffield is not Sexy. By Stephen Mallinder Abstract The city of Sheffield’s attempts, during the early 1980s, at promoting economic regeneration through popular cultural production were unconsciously suggestive of later creative industries strategies. Post-work economic policies, which became significant to the Blair government a decade later, were evident in urban centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield in nascent form. The specificity of Sheffield’s socio-economic configuration gave context, not merely to its industrial narrative but also to the city’s auditory culture, which was to frame well intended though subsequently flawed strategies for regeneration. Unlike other cities, most notably Manchester, the city’s mono-cultural characteristics failed to provide an effective entrepreneurial infrastructure on which to build immediate economic response to economic rationalisation and regional decline. Top-down municipal policies, which embraced the city’s popular music, gave centrality to cultural production in response to a deflated regional economy unable, at the time, to sustain rejuvenation through cultural consumption. Such embryonic strategies would subsequently become formalised though creative industry policies developing relationships with local economies as opposed to urban engineering through regional government. Building upon the readings of industrial cities such as Liverpool, New Orleans and Chicago, the post-work leisure economy has increasingly addressed the significance of the auditory effect in cities such as Manchester and Sheffield. However the failure of the talismanic National Centre for Popular Music signifies the inherent problems of institutionalizing popular cultural forms and resistance of sound to be anchored and contained. The city’s sonic narrative became contained in its distinctive patterns of cultural production and consumption that ultimately resisted attempts at compartmentalization and representation through what became colloquially known as ‘the museum of popular music’.

    Data Journeys As an Approach for Exploring the Socio-Cultural Shaping of (Big) Data: the Case of Climate Science in the United Kingdom

    Data Journeys as an approach for exploring the socio-cultural shaping of (big) data: the case of climate science in the United Kingdom Jo Bates, University of Sheffield Paula Goodale, University of Sheffield Yuwei Lin, University for the Creative Arts Abstract The paper reports on a pilot study aimed at developing, and assessing the utility of, a data journeys approach for critically exploring the socio-cultural shaping of interconnected data infrastructures. At various points along the journey of a (metaphorical) datum - from production through processing, re-use and intersection with other data journeys - selected organisations and projects are brought into focus and empirical data about the socio-cultural values and practices shaping the life of data within that particular space are collected using a variety of qualitative data collection methods. These empirical data are then critically and thematically analysed in relation to the broader social context. This paper outlines the rationale for the data journeys approach prior to presenting initial findings from The Secret Life of a Weather Datum research project which applies the approach to explore the socio-cultural values and practices interacting with weather and climate data as they move through a variety of data infrastructures. The initial findings presented in this paper focus specifically on weather data production and climate science at Weston Park Museum Weather Station in Sheffield, UK; the Met Office (the UK’s national meteorological organisation); the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, UK (a world leading climate research institute); and the Old Weather Project (a citizen science project involved in historical weather data recovery and rescue).

Apart from a few dozen houses across the River Dun at Bridgehouses and in the Wicker, and a similar number at Parkhill, the whole of the built-up area was within a 600 yard radius centred on the Old Church.1 Within that brief radius the most northerly development was that at Bower Lane (Gibraltar), and only a limited incursion had been made hitherto into Colson Crofts (the fields between West Bar and the river). On the western and north-western edges there had been development along Hollis Croft and White Croft, and to a lesser degree along Pea Croft and Lambert Knoll (Scotland). To the south-west the building on the western side of Coalpit Lane was over the boundary in Ecclesall, but still a recognisable part of the town.2 To the south the gardens and any buildings were largely confined by the Park wall which kept Alsop Fields free of dwellings except for the ingress along the northern part of Pond Lane. The Rivers Dun and Sheaf formed a natural barrier on the east and north-east, and the low-lying Ponds area to the south-east was not ideal for house construction.
