GabrielC Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I recently brought a copy of ' Demolished Sheffield ' by Mick Higginbottom a very interesting book about some of Sheffield's lost buildings. Over the years many fine buildings have been lost to redevelopment.some were close to be saved. Which buildings or landmarks do you think should have been saved that could have enhanced the city landscape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
