Thanks for your kind comments @steelcitysnaps glad you enjoyed the tour!!
The redevelopment of the Sheffield Castle site is really exciting, and also includes removing the Victorian culverting that has hidden the River Sheaf from view in this area for over hundred years! It will be great when finished š #Sheffield
