smartya Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Old manpower building = depressing Meadowhall = tacky. O2 Roxy complex = ugly, sinister Park hill =industrial monolith Grovener hotel = Loppy, Bates motel. Wolsey road mosque = poor design, out of place. Whitbread brewery apartments = boring, unimaginative. Elm tree Manor top = House on the hill. Arena = Wasred opportunity Ponds forge design = ? Any more?

crookedspire Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Park Hill here to stay and listed, worst eyesore for me is the old Niche nightclub and the buildings behide it. Elm Tree at Manor Top do you mean the pub or has that been demolished and replaced an uninspiring design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Parkhill flats! What a hideous welcome to any visitor to Sheffield as they crawl down the Parkway in the traffic jam. The Crucible still looks like it hasn't been finished, and the new market looks like it was built by apprentices (in their first year). Oh yeah ... the Manpower Services building, all of the Moor, all of the university buildings on the corner of Upper Hanover street and Broad Lane, including/especially the new plastic spiders web looking monstrosity. The verdigris beridden university building opposite looks fairly okay, apart from poor build quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vague_Boy Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Parkhill flats! What a hideous welcome to any visitor to Sheffield as they crawl down the Parkway in the traffic jam. The similarly monolithic Hyde Park flats do look a whole lot better with their white cladding. A shame that if we must have Park Hill, they can't look as nice.

nannyogg Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I love the Park Hill development and know lots of others that do too. Admittedly, most of them are not Sheffield people. To outsiders they were a brave new experiment and I a, very glad they have a preservation area. If we'd continued to put so much energy into creating affordable homes for working people we wouldn't have the housing crisis we have now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
