Built at a cost of £2.5 million by city entrepreneur John Fleetham, and unveiled in 1988, in its heyday Sheffield’s Ski Village attracted 180,000 visitors a year.
The country’s top skiers would gravitate to the city just to use the state-of-the-art site.
A national training centre was developed for the British Ski Federation, with a 30-degree ramp and a 60ft pool for skiers to practise twists, turns and somersaults into water.
Facilities grew to include a bowling alley and space for children’s birthday parties and even weddings.
Today the news the ski village will likely never re-open and now vandels have wrecked the place and torched most of the buildings
.
Hope you enjoy...
The gates into the ski village and are surprisingley undamaged.
Cctv camera i wonder if it was smashed before or after the arson attacks????oliceman:
A view of the slopes yes i admit i had a slide down on an old sledge and ended up on my arse!:embarrassed:
Adventure park
Ice cream fridge and someone had eaten the lot!!:no:
an abandoned jcb totally wrecked
A burnt out hut
[/url][/IMG]
The remains of an old kiddies slide.
was gonna have a quick drink but alas it was empty.
1 of the signs still in situ.
]
looks like someone forgot to put there foot back in and left it behind.
if someone is trying to clean the place up they will have a long long job.
And finally the cafe menu, i waited 20 minutes for someone to take my order but gave up and went to KFC.
Thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed them all comments welcome.
