No public works building department, any more,  genuine council run department. not private firms out to make profits  only firms I know besides pwd was gleesons acroyd and abbots  and vic Hallam , those firms built council houses  I should think employed  by Sheffield council , but don’t know much about  that part off it  

I worked for Ackroyd and Abbots on the masonic lodge. at Shore lane.
