Jamie 1 Posted January 23, 2015 If you're easily bored I'd leave this thread now, if you are of an inquisitive mind then read on... If you go along the A61 past Sheffield Wednesdays ground on your right, towards the town, past the Bassett factory on the left and Pizza Hut on your right, just down there on the right on the side of a hill are a load of what look like derelict beach huts - anyone know what they are? I've been driving down that bit of road for years but only noticed them on Tuesday and it's doing my head in what they're there for... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie 1 Posted January 23, 2015 I didnt even know Sheffield had a beach !?! Haha you serious? Sheffield beach is one of the most famous in the country! It's absolutely stunning mate. Honestly I wouldn't bother with Tenerife etc this year - get yourself down to Thomas Cook and tell them you want a fortnight in the Sheffield Beach Front Aurora. It does get quite expensive in August though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wullie 1 Posted January 27, 2015 Has anyone found out about these huts yet? Can't sleep at night and turning towards alcohol in frustration at not knowing. It gnaws at my mind day and night, a little voice repeating over and over again. "What are those huts????" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZpog 10 Posted January 27, 2015 Just google street viewed my way down there and can't see owt. How far after the Pizza Hut are they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted January 28, 2015 Right something really spooky happened up there yesterday - I drove past the spot where they were and they'd disappeared! I stopped at a set of lights and there was an old man waiting to cross the road. I called out to him "Hey old timer - do you know anything about some huts that used to be over there?" He cackled maniacally before looking me straight in the eye and saying "There haven't been any huts there since 1948 me old duck. They were POW huts during the war and one night one of the inmates went berserk and slaughtered every poor soul in there then disappeared. Three years later they burnt down mysteriously" "B...but they w...were there just last week" I stammered looking at the spot. As I turned round the old man had vanished!!!! 50 yards down the road I spotted them, realised I was in the wrong place previously and saw the senile old twat on the other side of the road. The above may or may not be a true account. They are actually derelict pigeon huts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The above may or may not be a true account. They are actually derelict pigeon huts. So relieved to hear this, I can now rest easy. Wait though, this means the prisoner of war pigeons are now roaming freely in the skies above us. What if they......?? OMG. I will have to add anti pigeon defences to my already extensive ant precautions. Where's the single malt to help me sleep. No. I can't sleep just now. Must plan defences. what will I?? Must go now.
