Old Town Hall, Sheffield
Yorkshire
A distinctive landmark with huge potential to contribute to the redevelopment of its surrounding area, Sheffield's Old Town Hall has stood empty for ten years.
It was built in three stages: begun by Charles Watson in 1807-8, it was extended and remodelled by Flockton & Abbott in 1866, when its distinctive clock tower was added, and finally given substantial additions, including a Police Court, by Flockton, Gibbs & Flockton in 1896-7 when the new Town Hall was built.
It is essential that a new use be found for this prominent and historically significant building before it falls into serious disrepair.
