Wurlitzer Jukebox News An Insight In to the Jukeboxes World

Goodbye? To a Sheffield Landmark

Following on from earlier publicity, on the 7th October the landmark jukebox adverts in the Sheaf Street railway arches were finally removed as a result of the previously descibed and controversial Sheffield City Council decision,  later upheld by the planning appeals inspector.  
Paddy Murphy, boss of  National Wurlitzer Distributors, Jukeboxes Direct, say’s” It is a very sad day caused by bumbledom.  Be interesting to see what the general public think when they see the “before and after” photographs and the planning inspectors “poetic”  comments below”.

 He went on to say,”These environmental “experts” are the people who 300 meters along Sheaf St obscured from general view an attractive and expensively restored Victorian Midland Railway Station frontage by building in front of it what Sheffielders popularly call “the worlds largest gents toilet wall”.  Read on.

  

Appeals Inspector “I consider the brightly coloured signs detract from the simple

dignity of the tunnel wall”……….. All comments welcomed below.
