Heritage
Lecture: In-person and
Online Streamed
Tickets Available
"Down Fair Cambridge
Street That Was Once
Coalpit Lane": an
account of certain
events in an ancient
Sheffield street, with
musical illustrations.
Presented by Robin
Hughes
Wednesday
28 JULY 2021 from 7
– 8pm
Note: this is a 'hybrid'
event. A limited number
of in person tickets are
available for the
Makerspace and in
addition tickets for the
simultaneous online
streaming.
Our speaker tells us:
"The denizens of
dreary Coalpit Lane
wanted to move it
upmarket, so they
named it after a duke
- or was it a
monumental error?
There's a tale that
begins with a man
walking into a bar,
but he goes home in an
ambulance, and you may
not see the punchline
coming. We'll examine
some mysterious stones
and learn what cutlers
get up to on Mondays.
We'll hear how a
footsore missionary
brought "back to
basics" religion to
Sheffield. There'll be
a nod to one of the
city's great lost
theatres, and a moving
account of the tragedy
of Leah's Yard. Every
building tells a
story, but not all are
true, and are some
better forgotten? For
tales of mayhem,
murder, misfortune and
Methodism, join us on
a virtual, largely
unsuccessful, but at
any rate tuneful pub
crawl "Down Fair
Cambridge Street That
Was Once Coalpit
Lane". All human life,
and death, is here."
There will be an
opportunity for the in
person audience to ask
questions at the end of
the lecture. The live
stream audience can also
submit a question at the
end.
About our
speaker:
Robin Hughes is our
guest speaker. He was
born in Sheffield in the
1960s and growing up in
the city saw how its
appearance was
constantly changing.
Initially excited by new
developments, he has
become increasingly
concerned at the loss of
heritage, especially
historic buildings, and
with them character and
sense of place. Now
retired after a career
in Information
Technology, he is a
trustee of Joined Up
Heritage Sheffield and a
committee member of
Hallamshire Historic
Buildings, campaigning
for a more positive
attitude to heritage and
researching the stories
that give the historic
environment meaning and
value. In private life
he is also a singer,
pianist, and occasional
composer.
