TWO CHARMING STORIES FROM IRELAND, BY REV. DESMOND PORTER
My Dad had upwards of 30 Clydesdale horses, used for pulling his coal carts.
In size they were absolutely giganticus! Extremely strong, yet by nature, very gentle and docile creatures. However; I was ever so slightly afraid of them. I hasten to say, this was not their fault. It was just that I was young, and smallicus!
MAINTAINING THE FABRIC OF OUR PREMISES
Much work has taken place over recent years, under the stewardship of the Trustees, to improve and enhance the Upper Chapel complex of buildings. The largest project was the installation of the lift, providing alternative and disabled access from the Chapel and Hollis Building (ground floor level) to the Surrey Street level, the first floor of the Hollis Building and up to Channing Hall - with the associated ease of access for equipment and other large items.
MUSIC IN THE GARDENS
How fortunate we are in Sheffield to have the wonderful Botanical Gardens situated so near to the city centre - an oasis of tranquility in a modern, vibrant city.
