I have just objected.

 

At this rate Sheffield will be like a mid-western US city with all its heritage gone, replaced by concrete boxes.

 

I am ashamed of my overseas relatives coming to Sheffield centre because of what it has turned into.

Hi all, a planning application has gone in to demolish Hambleton House (Former SYPTE)on Exchange Street. This is such a great building and it would be a crime to see it demolished. I'm currently trying to get it listed I just need some historical and architectural info on the building then so I can submit it for a possible listing.

 

Here is a pic of it, although it's a old pic.

I'm usually all for saving Sheffield's pre-war buildings (esp the Old Post Office Building on Fitzalan Square and the old Town Hall on Waingate).

 

However, not in this case - because the reason for demolishing it is to uncover Sheffield's oldest building (its castle), to turn that into a tourist attraction and green space. So therefore its a sacrifice well worth making.

Not many old buildings remain in Sheffield City Centre after the war the good ones need to be saved. I remember after the last great rebuild the city centre looked so sterile and clinicle with no character.
