THIS IS SHEFFIELD

We know there are lots of you out there who have never visited Sheffield and have no idea, other than the images conjured up in Jarvis' lyrics, what the city looks like. So we here at Pulp People thought we'd start a bit of a Sheffield scrapbook, illustrating some of the main landmarks of our fair city.

Sheffield has changed a lot over the last ten years, and if we were to put up photos of what it is like now, you'd think, what's that all about - it isn't a bit like the lyrics! So here are some images of what Sheffield looked like when Jarvis was writing some of the tunes that would start to make Pulp famous... Click on the headings to be transported to Pulpville UK.....

• Postcard
• Fargate
• The Hole In The Road
• Fitzalan Square
• Polytechnic
• Town Hall
• Mappin Art Gallery
• The fountain down the road.....(possibly)
• The Wicker
• Park Hill
• Kelvin Flats
• Forge Dam
• Stanhope Road

And for more recent photos of the city, click here:

• The Washington - Nick's pub
• Russell's old flat, out of which Jarvis hurled himself that fateful day in 1986
• The backyard of 130 Mansfield Road, where Jarvis lived for twenty years and the garage that Pulp first practiced in...(nice)
• City School, where it all began
• The Hall of the school, where the first incarnation of Pulp played in 1980
• The legendary Hallamshire pub, site of many early Pulp performances
• The Crucible, again, the site of early Pulp appearances, not to mention an historic performance of The Fruits Of Passion
• The National Centre For Popular Music - nothing to do with Pulp, just a fantastic looking building

And for Pulpy places elsewhere:

• 59 Lyndhurst Grove

We will be adding to this page all the time - if any one has any specific requests we will endeavour to take a photo!
