  • They mark the gateway to Yorkshire and represent Sheffield's industrial heritage in the most dramatic way. It is inconceivable that Sheffield City Council could allow their demolition. SAVE OUR TOWERS!

  • So few industrial heritage structures remain in Sheffield and these towers symbolise the true wealth makers of the city, namely the people who laboured in the steel industry and their employers

  • This is a unique icon, it's proximity to the M1 makes it a very memorable and industrial scenario, should it be on your conscience that future generations will not be able to enjoy it too?

  • These towers represent our industrial heritage; the hard work and ingeniuty of ordinary people that the city is founded on. So so short sighted.

  • To take these down would be a disgrace , what if someone had decided the same about the Eiffel tower or Tower of Pisa in past decades. They are part of Sheffield's heritage and should be kept and listed.

  • The Towers should be turned into Artwork with Steel Cutlery displayed from the top of one, and twirling Steel Flowers from the other. Some similar Towers in France have colourful paintings on them.

  • This is a more important landmark for the region than 'The Angel of the North'. This is the type of cultural vandalism that nearly demolished St Pancras station in the 60's!

  • Big Business should not have the power to demolish 'cultural heritage'. This is primarily a 'national' asset, not primarily a 'corporate' interest.
