The Three Merry Lads, Sheffield

Advantages: Lovely Food, Fantastic Views
Disadvantages: Quite Expensive

...The Three Merry Lads is a Public House that is situated approximately five miles to the West of Sheffield City Centre, beyond the more affluent Suburbs of Crosspool, Sandygate and Lodge Moor. It occupies an enviable location perched on top of a hillside, overlooking the Rivelin Valley. As a regular visitor to this area on my trips to the nearby Redmires Reservoirs and surrounding Moorlands this is a place that I have passed many times, yet I seldom ventured through its door. One such occasion when I did visit here recently I had a meal with a few friends and a thoroughly good day out was had by all. The Three Merry Lads is a Pub that has lots of charm and character. This stone built building began its life back in 1810 when it was a farm building, known as White Low. White Low was owned by the Marsden family, who had three sons...

Review of The Three Merry Lads, Sheffield

Merry Hill is heaven for shoppers

Advantages: lots of shops, good security,parking,food
Disadvantages: the centre is full with people at Christmas and it is hard to get a parking space.

...Merry Hill shopping centre (Brierly Hill in West Midlands) is a must for everybody that likes shopping! It has all the shops you could possibly desire under one roof, ranging from department stores ( Marks and Spencers , Debenhams,BHS) to supermarkets, clothes shops,health stores you name it it will have it! Shops are clearly signposted and there are maps located around the centre. There are many security guards around, so no need to worry about pick pocketing. For parents Merry Hill has a creche called Snappers, It looks really enticing from the outside with ball pits, slides and climbing frames. Parking at Merry Hill is free and the centre has electronic signs telling you if there are spaces in the car parks, which i find very helpful. There are also spaces for the disabled and designated areas for people with young children who...

Review of Merry Hill

Merry or not?

Advantages: Raucous comedy featuring Falstaff once again
Disadvantages: Some impenetrable scenes

...Shakespeare is one the greatest playwrights of our time, but that doesn?t mean that all his plays are great does it? I was privileged to see this play live last summer, privileged, as it is not often played in this country. I enjoyed it immensely. I do feel, however, that it is a play to be seen. I have read it and found the opening scene not only linguistically impenetrable at first but also, sorry to say, deadly boring. It does gain momentum as the plot wind in, but at first you simple wonder WHY? It is said that Elizabeth the first commissioned this play after her dismay at Falstaff?s demise in Henry V. She asked that he feature in his own play and it be about love ? so The Merry Wives of Windsor was born. The play centres around two families, the Pages and the Fords. Mr and Mistress Page have a beautiful young daughter...

Shoppers Paradise

Advantages: Great Shopping
Disadvantages: None for me

...Every year it is inevitable that I will visit Merry Hill at least ten times because me and my Mom especially love it there. It is basically a massive shopping centre which is indoors so you don't have to worry about rain and you can spend hours looking around although it never seems busy for some reason. We choose Merry Hill every year for us to do our January sales shop too because there is so much on offer. Let me tell you why I love it so much! Ok so where is it? Merry Hill Shopping Centre Brierley Hill West Midlands DY5 1QX Now to get there by car from where my parents live is easy because we can just go to Dudley and follow the signs from there. By motorway if you do get to the Walsall junctions and head towards Dudley you will find it. Merry Hill is signposted for miles away from where it is so you can't miss it...

Review of Merry Hill

Great day shopping

Advantages: Shops
Disadvantages: Parking

...On a rare occasion I like to go for a hardcore shop and the place I usually go to is Merry Hill in Dudley in the West Midlands. It is a massive shopping centre home to literally hundreds of brilliant shops where you can get anything from clothes to DVDs. Now if you are like me and literally cannot stand shopping on a regular basis, stay clear of this place, it will be your hell, however I must admit that it is a fantastic centre to go to in order to have a real shop. With me this is once a year, but I do come back with dozens of bags as the variety and quantity of shops is brilliant. To get there it is probably easier to get off the M6 at junction 10 near Walsall. From here get onto the Black Country Route, go right until the end and there are sign posts directing you all the way to Merry Hill which is about another fifteen minutes...

All Your Christmas Shopping Under One Roof

Advantages: everything under one roof
Disadvantages: not local

...Christmas Shopping can be a nightmare at the best of times, but when you have a 3-year-old toddler in a pushchair it becomes your worst nightmare. I can recommend a Shopping Centre that makes Christmas shopping more of a dream than a nightmare. First a bit of history… Merry Hill is located in Brierley Hill in the West Midlands. It was originally the site of an Iron and Steel works, started by the Earl of Dudley in the early 1850’s. Due to the recession it closed down in 1980. In the mid 1980’s the Merry Hill site was purchased by Black Country Developers Richardson Developments Ltd. It was due to them that the first two stages of the Merry Hill development opened in 1985. Since then there have been several more developments on the site including the Shopping Mall which opened in 1989. It was about this time...

Review of Merry Hill

A big attraction here UPDATED

Advantages: Under cover, good range of shops
Disadvantages: Gets very busy

...Merry Hill is a big out of town shopping complex, just outside Dudley in the West Midlands. It was built on the site of former derelict factories and is signposted for miles around so you can’t miss it. There is plenty of car parking space, unless you’re daft enough to go just before Christmas of course, and then it gets VERY crowded indeed. I haven’t been to see this for myself as it would freak me out completely, but it does get mentioned on local radio and television when the car parks are full and people are queuing to get in. It also tends to get crowded at weekends and on Saturdays at any time of the year Merry Hill is no place for you if you can't stand crowds! It is also a good idea to avoid the area completely if you're not actually visiting Merry Hill as the roads do get very congested when Merry Hill...
