Many buildings in the vicinity of the Castle Square Market Place in Sheffield, England were damaged or destroyed on the night of 12 December, 1940 when German aircraft bombed Sheffield. The bomb sites were cleared but most remained empty for many years. In 1968, many old streets were cleared to make way for the new Arundel Gate, a dual carriageway road that terminated at a large roundabout built on the former market place. Underneath the roundabout a network of underpasses and shops was built (with a central area open to the sky), this formed a complex that was officially designated Castle Square but became affectionately known locally as "Hole in t' Road" or Hole in the Road. Although considered by many to be a major city landmark, like many constructions of its time, it did not age well and was very dilapidated by the early 1990s. It lasted from 1967 until 1994, allegedly being filled in with the rubble from the recently demolished Hyde Park Flats.
Unfortunately, the “Hole in t’ Road” you will find here is not nearly so historic... It is simple a hole in the road. In fact, I really have no idea what it might have been used for, other than possibly a water pipe or electrical access for the nearby canal.
Please make sure to leave the site relatively like you found it to preserve the hiding spot of this cache, and hopefully keep it from prying muggle eyes.
This cache was initially stocked with a geocoin to move around, a travel bug picked up from the Sather VBC Meet & Greet, a MAGC pathtag, a deck of cards, some hand sanitizer, a book of sudoku puzzles, and of course my ‘unique to the cache’ FTF prize.
Good Hunting!
