Most iconic Sheffield Buildings?

[area 51]

I don't think it is. It's further away from the Parkway, I'm looking through my pictures, as I think I have a similar one.

 

Could be Park goods yard instead.I am pretty sure the photo is taken from victoria station road.https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3862967,-1.4599447,3a,49.9y,102.25h,68.78t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sxhe3OzdA6XBpr70t_0d7eA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

No I can't find it. It's in my photos at my Mums house. I don't have it on the computer. This picture is taken from about here I think looking at them in comparison, perhaps a bit further down but there are trees there now

Yeah it looks a bit close for the City one.

The Town Hall. If you spend the time to walk around it and look inside you'll understand why it's Grade 1 listed. Yes, you can go inside any time it's open, but not upstairs except on one of the regular free tours.

 

Previously Hyde Park flats were THE Sheffield building, but they demolished the central block and reclad the other blocks so it's nothing special now. Back in the day it looked monumental and towered over Park Hill -

Wow great photo, that is a dominating skyline. Where is the viewpoint?

ps as kids we climbed up through the rotating spiked bars onto the top of the the flats. Still remember the awesome "top of the world" feeling. Makes me feel dizzy looking back!!

That photo looks like it could have been stretched horizontally just a little but that would make it look better.

Station approach going to Victoria Station Hotel. At a guess, somewhere round here:

Must be

The arches at the front are still built in and integrated with the Hilton on the canal side.

It says a lot that we're kind of struggling for a singular truly Sheffield Icon building. My vote would have been the cooling towers, - a special example of a particular building type, and probably at this point completely individual compared to any other example of the type anywhere in the world. The proportions, curves, the consideration of decoration at the top. They were literally unique to Sheffield, and at 70ish years old probably some of the oldest examples of such structures in the world.

Yes, they were, so it's a shame that they were demolished on perhaps-dubious "safety" grounds.

I'll second that.
