This is Broomhall, Sheffield, UK! A Critical, Class & Qualitative Community Profiling to Analyse Community Information Needs, and Providers “But ever since the dawn of civilization, people have not been content to see events as unconnected and inexplicable. They have craved an understanding of the underlying order in the world. Today we still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from. Humanity’s deepest desire for knowledge is justification enough for our continuing quest. And our goal is nothing less than a complete description of the universe we live in.” — Stephen Hawking (1988: 13) “The library connects us with the insights and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all of our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. Public libraries depend on voluntary contributions. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.” –Carl Sagan, Cosmos (Sagan, 2001: 282) “Twenty-one months I had the opportunity to become acquainted with the English proletariat, its strivings, its sorrows and its joys, to see them from near, from personal observation and personal intercourse, and at the same time to supplement my observations by recourse to the requisite authentic sources. What I have seen, heard and read has been worked up in the present book. I am prepared to see not only my standpoint attacked in many quarters but also the facts I have cited, particularly when the book gets into the hands of the English. I know equally well that here and there I may be proved wrong in some particular of no importance, something that in view of the comprehensive nature of the subject and its far-reaching assumptions even an Englishman might be unable to avoid; so much the more so since even in England there exists as yet not a single piece of writing which, like mine, takes up all the workers. But without a moment's hesitation I challenge the English bourgeoisie to prove that even in a single instance of any consequence for the exposition of my point of view as a whole I have been guilty of any inaccuracy, and to prove it by data as authentic as mine. — Friedrich Engels The Condition of the Working Class in England (Engels, [1845], 2000) “Community / for Broomhall Poem by Shirley Cameron Community you and me a space / a time / where we live a type of living a timeless yearning for unity from indifference to love of your difference as you sense mine so we can be known here feel at home here see and be seen and somehow be a community” (Broomspring Writers Group, 2002: 158) "Wickerman" “Just behind the station before you reach the traffic island a river runs though a concrete channel I took you there once; I think it was after the Leadmill v Zapopan Muela The water was dirty and it smelt of industrialisation Little mesters coughing their lungs up And globules the colour of tomato ketchup But it flows Yeah, it flows Yeah, underneath the city through dirty brickwork conduits connecting white witches on the Moor with Pre-Raphaelites down in Broomhall Beneath the old Trebor factory that burnt down in the early seventies Leaving an antiquated sweet-shop smell and caverns of nougat and caramel Nougat Yeah, nougat and caramel And the river flows on…” The Wickerman, — The Pulp (Cocker, 2012) vi This is Broomhall, Sheffield, UK!

At the time, Germany’s leader was Adolf Hitler. He was the leader of the Nazi party, and he believed that there was a superior race of people: the Aryan race. He was so intolerant of people that were not part of the Aryan race that the Nazis began to kill people. He particularly targeted the Jewish community in Europe. The war began because the Allies knew the Nazis needed to be stopped. Over 75 million people were killed in total, which is the most deaths from any war in history. Try it at home 1. 1.

  • 9 October 1944
    The Star, 9th October 1944 Fire Fighting Heroes of the Blitz By T. H. CRAMB, “STAR” REPORTER There are several details of the Sheffield blitz, December 1940 which have never come to light. Some never will, but one service which had many heroes during the rain of fire and destruction on the city was the Fire Service. Some of the work which the Auxiliary Fire Service - as it was then known - performed that night can now be told. Heroism, devotion to duty, service under difficulties, undaunted spirits, and hard work all rolled into one aptly describes those firemen’s night way back in 1940. They were called and not found wanting. They answered the call of the sirens, they stood their ground, and they did their best. Appliances got stuck in bomb craters. In some cases the crews managed to get them out; others had to be left as they were damaged. One pump received a direct hit as it was working and three of the crew were killed and another injured, while another pump was wrecked by the blast of a nearby bomb. Five Men Killed During the night five members of the Service were killed and 56 injured, 12 of them seriously - a very small number considering the total number of personnel actively engaged during the raid. Page 1 of 4 Researched by John Hague, and re-typed and formatted from the original material by Edward Mullins Information had been received earlier in the evening that Sheffield was likely to receive a strong visit from the Luftwaffe that night, with the result that as much preparedness as possible was made.

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.

  • Sheffield City Council’S Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’S Draft Recommendations on Warding Arrangements for Sheffield
    Sheffield City Council – response to Local Government Boundary Commission for England draft recommendations on warding arrangements for Sheffield 1. Introduction 1.1. This document contains Sheffield City Council’s response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s draft recommendations on warding arrangements for Sheffield. The Council submission represents the view of the majority group, and points of difference with the opposition groups are noted where relevant in the text. Responses from the Liberal Democrat and Green groups are included in full in appendices at Appendix A and Appendix B. The submission also appends the minutes of a specially convened meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Management Committee, and the submissions of community representatives who gave evidence to which have already been sent to you (see Appendix C and D). 1.2. All political groups are largely supportive of the majority of the Commission’s proposals, which largely replicate the proposals put forward by the Council in our response to the consultation on warding arrangements. We do, however, have a number of comments and alternative proposals to address some of the areas where we do not believe that the Commission’s recommendations are satisfactory. 1.3. This response starts by reiterating the Council’s approach to developing our boundary proposals and then addresses the Council’s main point of concern first, followed by the remaining points of difference. 2. Future-proofing Sheffield 2.1. As stated in our submission to the Commission in July 2014, in developing our proposal the Council adhered to the Commission’s statutory criteria, and at the same time sought to propose a scheme of wards which takes into account the potential for significant growth in certain areas of the city and minimises the risk of an early review.

    DORE to DOOR DORE VILLAGE SOCIETY No. 97 SPRING 2010 ISSN 0965-8912 Kings Croft Fence Shock A great deal of anger has been expressed by local residents about the new fence that has been suddenly erected on the Kings Croft Playing Field. The 2m high weldmesh fence has been erected by the Dore Primary School in the full knowledge that the Dore Village Society had applied to have the area registered as a new village green. The most shocking aspect of the new enclosure is the gate that has been erected across the footpath from Vicarage Lane which has been in public use for over 40years. The head teacher of the Primary School knew about the Village Green application and indeed went ahead with the fence after the Council had placed notices on the site informing everyone that an application had been made for the new Village Green. The Planning Department has decided that the 2m high gate onto Vicarage Lane is not “adjacent to the highway” and Dore children enjoying the Punch and Judy Show at the Victory Fete held on Dore therefore does not require planning cricket ground in 1945. Do you recognise any of these faces? Would we be allowed to permission. ( The remainder of the fence is take such a picture today? also considered to be “permitted development” ). Dore Voices - Bombs The statutory notice on all three new DORE & TOTLEY and bravery in wartime village greens expired on January 29th when the Council must decide if they are WARD FORUM to register the three new greens.
