Memorial Ceremony with the Lord Mayor

A warm welcome was extended to the Right Worshipful Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Councillor Jayne Dunn.
In Lydgate Green, Crosspool, on Saturday, 29th March, the Lord Mayor came together with local councillors and the community in Lydgate Green, Crosspool, to officially unveil a memorial dedicated to Anne Marie Murphy. The stunning stonework, generously donated by Crosspool Forum and crafted by Andrew Vickers Art—Stoneface, was a testament to Anne’s cherished legacy.

Why the owl, you ask? Crossey wasn’t just any owl—he was the owl, loved by the entire community. Until last year, he made his home in a tree near the green by Lydgate School.

Anne Marie Murphy was an influential figure in the city of Sheffield, most notably serving as a councillor for the Crookes and Crosspool ward from 2014. Her commitment to public service and community engagement was evident throughout her time as a councillor, which culminated in her role as the Lord Mayor of Sheffield from 2017 to 2018. Anne’s passion for her community and her tireless work on various projects made her a deeply respected member of the local government and an admired figure among residents.

Anne’s legacy is defined by her unwavering commitment, her passion for service, and her inspiring community spirit. Her life serves as a poignant reminder of the immense impact one person can have. As we, the community, reflect on Anne’s remarkable contributions, it becomes evident that her efforts have left a lasting impression on Crosspool. The memorial stands as a powerful tribute to Anne’s memory, encouraging future generations to embrace her values of public service. It stands as a symbol of the ripple effect she created, inspiring stronger and more vibrant communities for years to come

When night falls, Valencia evolves into a vibrant hub of tapas, offering the ideal backdrop for memorable gatherings with family and friends. The excitement doesn’t end there! A unique addition is on the way—an exclusive cocktail bar upstairs, designed to host private events and take your evenings to extraordinary new levels.
