A wedding ring was lost on Saturday 8 March 2014 between Hagg Lane and the city centre-bound 51 bus stop in the Sandygate Road shopping precinct.
The ring has sentimental value and there is a reward for its safe return. If you have found it or know anything please call 07769 722 450.

A broken down 51 bus caused minor delays to traffic in Crosspool shopping precinct this morning at around 11am.
The stationary 51 bus blocked Sandygate Road over the zebra crossing near Artisan restaurant, meaning there was only room for vehicles to pass in a single direction at any one time.
Police were on hand around to direct traffic around the bus until it was repaired later in the morning.
Heavy downpours caused flooding in Crosspool on Saturday with the drainage system unable to cope with the volume of rain that fell.
Over a period of just a few minutes, water collected in the area at the bottom of Benty Lane where it joins Sandygate Road.
It doesn’t seem that the flood caused any lasting damage, with most of the water appeared to have drained away by today.
Did the downpour cause flooding problems on your road in Crosspool yesterday?
Crosspool butcher Philip James had his legs waxed outside his shop this morning to raise money for children with type one diabetes.
Local residents queued up to sponsor Philip in return for the opportunity to remove a wax strip from his legs.
Over £8,000 has been raised so far with the help of the Crosspool community. You can donate money to the cause by visiting virginmoneygiving.com/team/supportingchildrenwithtype1diabetes.
No one is sure what causes type one diabetes, but a virus that mainly affects children is believed to be the most likely cause and Crosspool community has been very supportive in raising funds for Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
Find out more about type one diabetes and the ongoing fundraising at www.kidswithtod.blogspot.co.uk.
From fun runs to leg waxing, the Crosspool community is coming together to help raise money for children with type one diabetes.
On Sunday 27 May 2012, 33 children from Crosspool schools Lydgate Infant, Lydgate Junior and Tapton – along with children from Waterthorpe Primary and Sheffield High School – are running the 3K fun run in support of children with type one diabetes.
Further to the support received from the local schools, local butcher Philip James is having his legs waxed on Saturday 30 June 2012 at 12pm outside his shop on Sandygate Road – anyone wishing to pay for a wax strip is welcome to sponsor him!
In addition to this, Top to Toe Beauticians on Sandygate Road has raised £424 by organising a raffle. Gym Plus in Crookes and The Avenue Hair & Beauty Salon on Glossop Road are also supporting fundraising efforts.
No one is sure what causes type one diabetes, but a virus that mainly affects children is believed to be the most likely cause and Crosspool community has been immensely supportive in raising funds for Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
Local children taking part in the fun run have their own logo, ‘ToD’, which will be advertised on their running t-shirts, so look out for them on the day and give them a cheer.

Crosspool pub The Plough on Sandygate Road gets a mention in the May edition of Beer Matters magazine. Thanks to Sheffield CAMRA for letting us publish it here:
It is just over a year since Andy and Cheryl Clay came to The Plough on Sandygate Road and they have just overseen the refurbishment.
There is a main bar area and two raised levels, the surrounding woodwork has all been varnished and the bar has been polished and has a new set of hand pumps.
There is a pleasant mix of decor in the different areas and with a new lighting system mood and ambiance can be crated for different occasions.
Monday night is vintage TV with Julie, Thursday is quiz night with jackpot and there is also a quiz on Sunday night, both with free buffet. A pool table is tucked away to the rear of the pub.
Where possible all ingredients for the home made dishes are locally sourced, these include speciality dishes and deserts. Up to five beers are available, Tetley Bitter, Farmers Blonde and guest beers mainly from local breweries.
The magazine is available to pick up for free from Sheffield pubs.
From Tuesday to Friday this week a set of temporary traffic signals will operate on Sandygate Road near the junction of Coldwell Lane.
The lights are being installed to allow for gas works to take place.
