Do you have anything to back this up?

I can only see plans to renovate the café in local news.

Sorry Tbolt i don't ; it was just a small snippet i spotted on the web; i was kind of hoping some on here may have had a better idea; the wifes mothers old Sheffield tram is in there; it would be sad to see it closed down.

On a similar subject ish ---- Me and Janet went to the Kelham Island Museum near centre of Sheffield.
What a lovely way to spend 3 or more hrs.
There is a mahooosive 1905 steam powered beam engine (used in Titanic film)
Its fired up every wed thurs fri sat and sunday at 1200 and 1400 the 60 ton flywheel is spun @ 120RPM clockwise then in a matter of 3 seconds
stops and revolves counter clockwise.
Truly impressive. There is loads of parking for bikes and cars around back of museum and its FREE entrance = chuck a bit in box for the gas if yer like

And its warm and there is a cafe bar adjacent to it !!!!!

Then you can post it there Shirley as there were only 3 new threads posted in the Peak District section in 2022 and none so far in 2023!

The East Midlands includes the historic and geographic counties of Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and Rutland.
