[edit] Category:Buildings and structures in Sheffield

Transfered from WP:Sheff

I think the following buildings deserve an article:

  • Howden House (part of Sheffield Town Hall)
  • Sheffield Central Fire Station (including the new one on Carver St - due to be demolished to make way for the new John Lewis)
  • Communication House (British Telecom) - photos not yet uploaded.
  • Grosvenor Hotel, Sheffield (to be demolished) - photos not yet uploaded.
    • They really going to knock this one down? Wow! JeremyA 14:14, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
JeremyA's additions to Captain scarlets list:
I think that all Grade I and Grade II* listed buildings should have articles (except in cases like Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet where there is a group of listed buildings that are better covered by a single article). I think that Grade II listed buildings should be treated on a case-by-case basis, as there are a number of these that are things like telephone boxes or milestones. Notable listed buildings currently missing articles include:
There are quite a few of new buildings proposed or under construction that might be worthy of article at some stage:
    • City Lofts Tower - Apparently aproved--construction starting soon? If/when completed will be Sheffield's tallest (101 m)
    • Spital Tower - Would be ever taller than the above (130 m) if it goes ahead JeremyA 16:11, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

There was a Velocity Living article which has now been deleted, sadly. I started the article as I thought the bloack was a landmark structure in Sheffield. Shame. L.J.Skinner, talk to me 13:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

The New Retail Quarter (NRQ) is the biggest building project in the pipeline. It will occupy the area around John Lewis, which is moving to where the fire station is. It is also why Grosvenor Hotel is being demolished. josh (talk) 19:04, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Maybe the NRQ should have its own article. It would be good if someone could get some photos of the buildings that will be demolished (this area). In particular I notice that some listed buildings may be demolished (e.g. this one) and Leah's yard is to be extensively renovated. We have a category at the commons that could hold the resulting photographs. JeremyA 16:18, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Already started - New Retail Quarter. Unfortunately, the image I had (this one) is copyrighted and was removed. L.J.Skinner, talk to me 13:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Here's a list I drew up a little while ago of buildings which probably merit an article: Upper Chapel - Sheffield Central Library - Moorfoot Building - Persistence Works - Showroom Cinema - Victoria Hall (Sheffield) - Sheffield Central Schools - Old Bank House - St Matthew's Church, Sheffield - west.one - Glossop Road Baths - Moore Street Electricity Substation - Butcher's Wheel - Gatecrasher One - Castle House - Sheffield Head Post Office - Royal Exchange Buildings - Kelham Island - Green Lane Works - Cornish Place Works - Burngreave Cemetery - Woodside Estate - Northern General Hospital - River Don Works - Shrewsbury Hospital - Mount Pleasant (Sheffield) - Landsdowne Cinema - Sharrow Snuff Mills - Sheffield Royal Infirmary - Hillsborough Barracks

I generated by flicking through the Pevsner guide and selecting buildings with interesting details without current articles on Wikipedia. Warofdreams talk 11:15, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
a few more of which I am quite proud of:
The Bear Pit (botanical gardens)
Cholera Monument Grounds
Shrewsbury Road Hospital
Birley Spa

I've created Buildings and structures in Sheffield. Feel free to butcher it. josh (talk) 23:46, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Nice one. I've left a note about Sheffield Cathedral though--most of it isn't as old as people think. JeremyA 00:08, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Any chance of a template or category which can go at the bottom of all articles in the series? Or would there bee too many/too few of them for this? L.J.Skinner, talk to me 14:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
