A R Heathcote Sheffield demoed

[HughieD]

One of the easiest access sites in Sheffield is no more along with a few Phlegm paintings. Got demoed this week except for the central tower. Here's what it looked like before the demolition...

Gutted about the Phlegms, but "what's born on the streets, dies on the streets"
Cheers for the update.

We may even see the Phlegms for sale! There is always hope.

Was about to post regarding the demolition of Heathcotes but got beaten to it, reason for the demolition is the old office section had a tree growing from it making the already unsafe building much worse. I got talking to one of lads doing the demolition he said the site was covered in used needles. Was a interesting site but in the end it was better to flatten it. I'm guessing Niche nightclub will be next.

I believe the tower section is listed,curious to know what's planned for the site I'm guessing more apartments.

I'm guessing it must be and I think you are probably right. Quite a nice vaulted ceiling in there
