You asked foreigners not people from Sheffield, and Sheffield isn’t small it’s in the top 5 biggest in England
Very interesting! A real hidden treasure.
Just found your channel ❤I liked and subscribed ❤ great video ❤
Reminds me on "Fail-Safe", 1964.
Do you have a email address or a way of contacting you thanks
Such a shame. I stayed on in Sheffield after leaving university in the mid 80s. Loved the unique feel of the city and this particular place was amazing. For a start I had 6 hours of beginner lessons and bypassed all that going straight to intermediate on day 1 of my first ski holiday. But the place genuinely had an air of a resort in its own right - the buildings all set up as lodges with bars, food, ski shop, equipment hire, T bar lift, coach parties and a special atmosphere under floodlights of the array of slopes of varying difficulty. Loads of fun had. Unbelievable that today when there are more paid for experience type entertainments than ever before that this is no longer available.
what is she doing in a cave?
I love Sheffield...beautiful
I must admit to cycling down the road in my schooldays , there was a hairpin bend halfway down , that i always overshot, luckily there was a farmers track to go down .
Hi "Elise"Yes mate I indeed felt it all *
Try asking the Sheffielders , not students.
If you are alone and stuck and if no one knows where you are, how do you get out?
amazing actress!!!!😍
I don’t consider these ppl brave, it’s more like they are being naive and assuming they can get out of whatever situation they end up in.
Don’t cave if you’re prone to claustrophobia or are slightly overweight.
I have never heard of weaseling...I like it!
It was NEVER called the hole of Sheffield...It was called 'The Hole In the Road'.. The concete construction and methods used to build it were ingenious. The slant made it even better. Then they filled it in and built....Nothing...Awful shame.
You ladies are amazing and very very hot be safe
Has any one ever looked on a map? Sheffield isn't small.
I came to Sheffield as a student and never left. Why? The people are warm and friendly, kind and generous. The city centre is not full of chain stores( go to Meadowhall for that). So many trees and Parks. Endcliffe Park, Hillsborough, Bolehill, Graves, Meersbrook, Firth Park, Concord, many more. So many green areas around. Independent businesses setting up. Foodhalls for small businesses. Cutlery works, Kommune, Sheffield plate. There's a make do and mend spirit that I love ❤️
Sheffield is quite small? There's 4-5 different drinking areas btw, West Street is mainly students and early 20s people.
Amazing!
Not all strictly true though. The gas light was powered by the mains gas supply, they lamps did not burn the sewer gas. The heat generated by the gas mantle caused the sewer gas to be drawn up the lamp post by convection so ventilating the sewers, and the 700 Fahrenheit temperature destroyed a lot of the noxious gases. Still connected to the same sewers in use today, although now not needed due to more modern methods of sewer ventilation
It had definitely seen better days by the end, and the Tram that goes over it has been enormously convenient for the city (did you know that the Council initially drew up plans for an elevated monorail, which would have allowed the Hole to stay?) but still...I sort of miss it. It was our own little subterranean shopping precinct, with a huge fish tank built into the wall. It had character and I was sad to see it go.
I remember it from 1993 and it being filled in in 1994
It wasn't that crime ridden, there was some anti social behaviour, the drunks used to gather on the benches sometimes to keep out of the rain as it was under shelter but generally they were no bother. It was generally an ok place during the daytime, sometimes there was the smell of pee in places after a Friday or Saturday night. I rarely went through there late at night l, maybe a couple of times but I don't remember it being that threatening of a place.
In reality it isn't a pothole, it is an aven that has been dug into from the surface. Not natural just another Derbyshire mud hole.
This has to do with the Flower of Life
Great video thanks
Sheffield is the Metropolis the only place to live
Its a shame that any evidence of similar sites is likely ploughed out of the ground... Maybe an intention of a conquering religion
It's been a while! Hope you're enjoying life and creating something rad. Party Hearty good soul! 💜
thank you! that's really sweet. I am currently creating a mini series that I'm really excited about :) hope you're having a fab day!
@@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard . Just came looking for you as it's been so long. Thought that there may have been some fresh info on your website but it's down :(
Very interesting!

@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard still there, missing your video's
I'll be back ! :) I'm making a mini-series right now. Hope you're having a great day!

Do one at night on West Street or front of City Hall maybe in Summer time. Be fun to watch. After a few jars people will be friendly.
I WOULD NEVER DO THAT 😱😱😭😭 What if someone suddenly has a claustrophobic panic attack, leading to a heart attack??
As a born and bred Sheffielder, the city centre is a shithole! Inappropriate developments over the last 70 years or so has seen what was once probably the most impressive Victorian city in the U.K. turned into a mish mash of inhuman ad hoc buildings serviced by roads that go nowhere. The city centre seems to be no more than an experimental place for university architecture students to have their ridiculous designs brought to fruition and to give university so called ‘art’ students the brutalist blank canvasses for them to scrawl their graffiti on. Of course it’s not all bad; the Peace Gardens and Winter Gardens are a triumph, the Midland Station concourse is a pleasant space and the recent Grey to Green planting is an absolute joy to walk through but you really have to get out to the hilly suburbs, parks and countryside to appreciate the best of the city and what the city centre needs to aspire to to reach its full potential!
There’s more than just west street, Ecclesall road, kelham island, and it’s the 4th biggest city in the country
I really enjoyed this video, well done. A Sheffield Bloke
It's a great place of you want your road closed off without proper consultation or ignoring the wishes of the residents.Its a great place if you don't want to get to Wisewood Estate or Bradfield because there is no bus service.Its never been a proper city like Manchester.The trams are great but very restricted in destination.LTNs are laughably called interactive neighborhoods.
Loved the video, there is no better place than Sheffield to strike up a coversation with a total stranger. Please, do it more often and before long you will get over your apprehension. It's great that you are purposefully going outside of your comfort zone to talk to people, it is essential if you want to work in journalism. Good Luck and thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video , I spent 3 years of my life studying and working there. I miss the city and watched this video to go down the memory lane. Great people!
seeing some comments and also the ones from similar videos i get the impression that people from Sheffield are quite racist and white proud. Is this true?
Just read your comment and wondering what in this particular video made you think this. What do you mean by 'white proud'? Are you suggesting people should be ashamed or indeed not proud of being white? Have you ever visited Sheffield? You should - it's worth a weekend break.
@@PabloGarcia-hc8xq At its core, "white pride" centers around the belief that white people are superior to other races. This ideology is inherently racist and fuels discrimination and prejudice against people of color. It often ignores the historical and ongoing struggles faced by marginalized communities due to systemic racism and oppression.
Proud maybe but racist nah
If I could change Sheffield I bring a John Lewis and put it opposite the city hall
Next time find some Sheffield'ers🙄
Because I've seen this kind of comment quite a lot, I might pin it and leave my response here. I like to do this for fun, I try to go out and brave my own anxiety. I HATE going outside and speaking to people. But I do it for my own personal development. It hurts a little when I see comments like this, but maybe you can show me your vox popping and maybe I can learn from you! Feel free to send a link to your work ! I'm always looking to improve. I speak to double the amount of people that I put in the video, since most people don't want to be filmed, but I have a nice chat with them anyway. The people that are okay with being filmed are put on camera. A lot of those people who didn't want to talk were from Sheffield. I cannot help the fact that some of the individuals are from other places visiting Sheffield on the particular day I chose to do this. However, I still wanted to find out what they thought about Sheffield. Their opinions are very VERY valuable to me. Outsider perspectives can be so useful and interesting. I wanted their voice to be heard, especially when they seemed to love Sheffield as much as I do. I really hoped this cleared a few things up. If you want to write a comment like this, please PLEASE ! Get in touch! YOU could be on the next show ! I want Sheffield perspectives, and if you like this content enough to leave a constructive criticism like this, then it's important to you. That's so so good and that voice needs to be heard, and your face on the screen! Hope this helps Elise x
It wasn't really a criticism as such more like an observation. I always appreciate hearing what people from outside the city think of it so I enjoyed the video but as someone who's spent many years living here and seen a lot of change I would be interested to see what some of the locals think about it. As for having me on the next show I'm not sure that it would do much for your likes and subscribes🤔. @@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard
