This detailed and comprehensive guide provides an unrivalled account of Sheffield’s architecture from medieval to modern. Walks, exploring both city centre and suburbs,
reveal not only the city's renowned industrial heritage and its handsome Victorian buildings, including the Town Hall, but also surprising survivals of the medieval town and
the lesser-known architecture of Georgian Sheffield. Majestic surroundings provide the setting for memorable mansions and villas, home to the city's industrial magnates,
and some of the most innovative public housing of post-war England, while the prize-winning Peace Gardens, magnificent Millennium Galleries, Winter Garden and the
outstanding Persistence Works represent the city’s twenty first century renaissance. A lively introduction, colour illustrations, maps and plans make this guide an invaluable
companion.
