Found this magic place in the city. Under the Sharrow Vale road in Sheffield, UK !

Mann’s salmon fishcake

AT Sheffield University in the Eighties urban geographers detected an invisible line which ran through the then Hole in the Road. Below it, past C&A down to The Wicker, taking in the Castle, Sheaf and Rag and Tag markets – and the courts – was territory occupied by what sociologists called rough working class.

Above it, from Rackham’s to High Street, Fargate and the Moor was the domain of the respectable working class and the city’s relatively small  middle class.

Modern sensibilities being what they are, we no longer use these terms but some may raise a wry smile that there is now a bridgehead of gastro-gentrification in what was the old Brightside & Carbook Co-Op in Castle House, now the Kommune Food Hall. Here they sell lobster thermidor for £30 a go, Korean spicy pork, vegan salads and sourdough loaves not 30 yards from the Poundland opposite.

Kommune sounds a bit beardy and trendy with tattoos optional and indeed it is, on both sides of the counter. But in the opening weeks this enterprise with 10 different food options has had a real vibe and exciting atmosphere. Sit at the communal tables, bar stools or booths and you get just a hint of Lisbon’s Time Out food hall, although not the sophistication.

Part of the seating area

On our first two visits it was packed and difficult to find a table, on our third, a Tuesday, it was quieter but still busy. And certainly livelier than when you went to get your divi at the old B&C.

At lunchtimes you order from each kiosk, pay and are given a buzzer when your food is ready. Evenings are more relaxed: pagers are dumped and food is brought to your table.

Kommune is still being developed. On the non-food side there is a splendid  bar curving around the well of the building’s impressive spiral staircase, an art gallery and arty magazine shop but the building still has acres of empty space.

Spicy pork from Yoki

I’ve eaten or bought from seven of the independent businesses here. There is a ubiquitous burger and a pizza place, which I have yet to try, but the star of the show has to be Mann’s fish bar, the offshoot of the wet fish business at Sharrow Vale (where owner chef Christian Szurko already cooks up lunchtime fish ordered from the slab).

Kommune is all about street food and you might say Mann’s is hardly that. Here we had an excellent, if slightly small salmon fish cake (£10, to a Savoy Hotel recipe) on a dazzlingly good dill sauce and a ‘fish finger sandwich’ of battered goujons inside a squid ink-coloured bun. Chef Scott Mills, Christian’s partner, is enthusiastic about things so far.

The menu looks tempting: there is also dressed crab, clam chowder, steamed  mussels and stuffed squid but did he really sell many thermidors? “They fly out,” he said, perhaps a little over-dramatically. “We don’t make anything on them but it gets us known.” He covers the breakfast and brunch market with dishes like kippers and haddock frittata with more expensive and sophisticated offerings at night.

We have yet to go at night. A trip to the Chaat Cart, a South Indian street food joint, produced an excellently flavoured chicken kati roll (£8), spiced-up poultry with vegetables on  a roti. It was chicken for me from Shoot The Bull, a rotisserie and grill. I enjoyed my quarter chicken (£7.50) which was hardly more than a leg. This had been first brined then basted with maple syrup so there was plenty of flavour in the flesh and skin. The price included top quality chips fried in beef dripping. One thought: I never saw more than two birds on the rotisserie so the stall lacks kerb appeal.

Pager buzzes when food is ready

Mann’s fish finger sandwich

Pom Kitchen is an Australian-inspired vegan and veggie option. The salad bowl (£7) was lively salad with decent focaccia let down by boringly bland hummus. A trip to Yoki, a Korean enterprise, offered an interesting spiced pork (slices stir-fried with chilli) which combined heat with a touch of sweetness. It came with a timbale of rice and salad garnish.

Kiwi coffee from local enterprise Tamper is stronger and richer than your average cup (each shot uses 42g of beans instead of the usual 36g) so you might not be safe drinking it after 2pm!

So far, so good. Kommune could do with a desserts offering, perhaps to justify lingering in the evening.  It’s so refreshing to see something good, locally owned and independent in the city centre as a change from all those dreary old chain eateries.

Kommune is at Castle House, Angel Street, Sheffield S3. It opens Tues to Sat 9am to 11pm, Sun 9am to 9pm. Web: http://www.kommune.co.uk

#Castle House,  a Grade II listed building has a lot of history and a story of delay caused by two world wars. Land was originally bought by the B&C on Angel Street in 1914 just before war broke out so building was delayed until 1927. It was slowed by discovery of the Sheffield Castle site and not completed until 1938. The building was destroyed in the Sheffield Blitz of 1940. The new building, designed by G S Hay, took as its inspiration Irving Park’s Sears Roebuck department store in Chicago, with its two blind walls on the first and second sales floors. The splendid interiors, including a mural, are by Stanley Layland.

Project brings rare black poplar tree back to Sheffield

A project is underway to bring one of the UK’s rarest native trees back to Sheffield. The black poplar is a declining species and, according to the Forestry Commission, is the country’s most endangered timber tree.

There are fewer than 1,000 mature trees in the wild, in the UK, and they are most prevalent in areas such as Cheshire, Somerset and East Anglia. As there are so few black poplars left, it is unlikely they will pollinate each other and therefore unlikely that more trees will grow naturally. The species is also prone to fungal diseases.

But now, a community forestry officer at Sheffield City Council has been working on a project to bring this rare tree back to the city. Angus Hunter has planted black poplars each year, for the past four years, in Sheffield’s river valleys. He said: “Black Poplar is generally a tree of Southern river valleys but, with the planet warming, its distribution will move northward with the rising temperatures.

“By planting trees with a more southerly distribution, Sheffield City Council is future- proofing its tree stock for global warming, whilst helping preserve this rare native tree.”

So far, 11 black poplar trees have been planted, at sites including the Shire Brook valley, Waterslacks Road, Liberty Hill, Dyke Vale Road, Lynwood Gardens and Totley Brook. In the long term, Angus hopes to create groups of both male and female trees, from different genetic sources, in various river valleys across the city.

The overall aim is establishing a viable breeding population of these rare trees in Sheffield. The black poplar project is part of Sheffield City Council’s overall strategy to plant more trees across the city. In the 2016-17 planting season, which ran from October 2016 to March 2017, a total of 8,658 trees were planted, including heavy standards, whips, and fruit trees.

Councillor Mary Lea, cabinet member for culture, parks and leisure at Sheffield City Council, said: “Our community forestry team are experts in their field, and I’m really impressed that Angus is driving forward this innovative and exciting project to return the rare black poplar to Sheffield.

“I’m also proud that, across the city, we have been creating the next generation of woodlands and community gardens for future generations of Sheffielders to enjoy. This is especially important at a time when we are increasingly cementing our reputation as the UK’s Outdoor City and demonstrating that Sheffield is a city where people of all ages, in all of our diverse communities, can enjoy an array of fabulous green open spaces.”

The city council is also calling for people who think their local housing estate needs some trees to get in touch. Call the Parks and Countryside service on 0114 250050 to suggest where next year’s plantings should take place, during the tree planting season.

Major plantings during the last tree planting season included creating three new urban woodlands in the south-east of the city; at Kenninghall Bank, Fox Lane Recreation Ground and at Pipworth Recreation Ground. Trees planted there included a mix of native woodland species such as English Oak, Hazel, Field Maple, Spindle, Hawthorn and Blackthorn.

In Darnall, a mix of oak, lime, silver birch, Turkish hazel and amalanchier trees were planted at Ouseburn Road Open Space, as part of a wider project also including wildflower and bulb planting, new seating, fencing, and the provision of goal ends and synthetic surfacing to provide a kick-about area for football.

In Sharrow, trees were planted in partnership with trading co-operative Regather, while in Beighton, new trees were planted on a spot of green space between Rosemary Road and Cairns Road with help from Reignhead Primary School pupils.

A pear tree was also planted at Fox Hill Primary School, where the nursery class are helping to look after the tree and watch the pears develop. There are plans to plant more trees in the grounds of the school, which is new and currently has mainly hard landscaping.

The aim of the community forestry team is to plant around 7,000 new trees each year in communities across Sheffield.

This is in addition to Streets Ahead’s tree replacement scheme on the city’s highways. As well as the replacement trees, 600 additional street trees will be planted over the duration of the Streets Ahead contract.

Sharrow Vale Road, Sheffield

Students chattering outside Rhythm and Booze, no sign of Disco Tramp but others are sitting on his bench.

Next door playing the jazz flute, or perhaps it's just the recorder again. Over and over.

The passage door slamming shut because the boys from the restaurant are playing musical chairs again, endlessly moving and stacking them.

Four girls and a boy are repainting the empty shop over the road in a turquoise blue, posing for a 'before' photo with their arms linked all around each other, looking happy and excited. One of their dads holds the ladder while they paint the top of the sign and they keep laughing. Wonder what kind of shop it will be?

The house is filled with warm clean smells of drying white sheets and weekday clothes and pea and mint soup on the hob, fresh air blowing through because the heating is on.

Waiting for my love to finish work for kisses and sleeping. Sunday night feeling, clean pyjamas, clean sheets and newly painted fingers and toenails.
