Hi,

 

All Saints Church was certainly an imposing building and well-positioned. i was a land mark that could be seen from most parts of Sheffield.

 

When it was built in the mid nineteenth century, I believe Sir John Brown paid most, if not all, of the cost.

 

Regards

Hi Glen

 

Just thought you might be interested to know:

 

The bells that were in the tower of All Saints Brightside were not destroyed or lost when the church was demolished, they were transferred to St Anne's, Worksop.
