Dave Pickersgill and I represented CAMRA Sheffield & District at Sheffield Town Hall (Silver Room) for one of many Heritage Days in September. We were joined by Paul Crofts and his wife, Tina. Our goal, like other heritage projects, is to campaign for the preservation of historic buildings and their features for future generations.
Stalls included a wide range of organizations such as the Sheffield Castle Project, The General Cemetery, and The Home of Football, along with relative newcomers like the University of Sheffield’s The Wave building.
A gathering of around 60 people heard a speech from the Right Worshipful Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Jayne Dunn, who launched the month-long programme of events. The launch was toasted with Prosecco or orange juice.
Our contribution to the Heritage Open Days programme is Dave Pickersgill’s ever-popular guided pub walks, where he shares insights into pub history and points out key heritage features.
