The travellers site at the ski village in Sheffield was evicted some time ago. Here are a few pictures to show the empty space left.

What was once a vibrant community is now broken up as they were in the way of progress ??!! This community was composed of travellers, activists, romanies and others who sought to live outside the mainstream.

There was no coverage of this event which I would have thought of as a major happening in sheffield subversive subcultures. Can anyone say what happened? Where have the people gone? What is their story of events?
