As an extra treat for March we have organised a guided tour of Sheffield’s 1897 Town Hall. Built between 1890 & 1897, designed by London architect EW Mountford in what is termed the Renaissance revival style, similar to the now demolished St. Paul’s church which stood adjacent. (now the Peace Gardens) The Town Hall is an expression of the civic pride of the city in the Victorian era and is richly decorated by friezes, sculpture and a figure of Vulcan adorns the tower.
As well as the tour of the building we will have the privilege of Tea with the Lord Mayor in the Lord Mayor’s Parlour, where many of the treasures of the city are on display. A special morning all round.
