Harry, Amy and Paul from Look North are taking a sofa on tour. They’re visiting 50 locations around Yorkshire over eight days to raise money for Sport Relief.
On Tuesday 20 March they’re passing through Crosspool. Spectators are most welcome to cheer them along the way! They’re expected at Sandygate around 10.30am.
Amey have confirmed that any Manchester Road verges that are damaged as part of the Streets Ahead project will be repaired.
Spokesperson Claire Tideswell said: “I have been speaking with our site team and they have advised me that when doing the pavement resurfacing work there may well be some minimal verge damage as a result of the work we’re doing. This will be likely from week commencing 27 February as we move closer towards Crosspool.
“Once the work has been completed we will then re-soil and re-seed any areas which have been damaged as a result of the works. We will take as much care as possible but some damage will unfortunately be inevitable.
“The contractor is aware of the bulbs which are planted in the verges and have bought their concerns to our attention.”

It was due to take place the week commencing 14 July but inspections have revealed that a number of trees need to be removed because they are causing damage to the road.
This work has been rescheduled for the week commencing 29 September. Residents will be written to nearer the time to confirm dates.
Amey have confirmed that any trees removed from Cairns Road will be replaced.

Crosspool as it was 160 years ago has been revealed on a set historic maps.
The Sheffield maps were drawn at various dates since 1850 and are available for viewing on the National Library of Scotland website.
The 1850 Crosspool map (PNG, 3.3MB) shows just a handful of dwellings around the Lydgate junction and Stephen Hill. You can also see landmark buildings that have since been knocked down including Lydgate Hall and The Kings Head pub.
