As with any city, there are also buildings which divide opinion and are loved by some but despised by others. This photo gallery shows 10 such structures across Sheffield which prove the old adage that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
They include some of the city's most famous and celebrated – by some – buildings, including the Arts Tower, Sheffield Hallam Students’ Union building, Park Hill flats and the Crucible theatre. We’d love to hear your thoughts on these buildings and any others which you feel deserve a place on the list.

3. Sheffield Hallam Students' Union building
The Sheffield Hallam Students' Union building on Paternoster Row in the city centre is officially known as The Hubs but has various nicknames, including the kettles, the drums and the curling stones, due to its unique appearance. The steel-clad building began life in 1999 as the short-lived National Centre for Popular Music museum. In 2011, it was declared the world's ugliest building but some have loved it from the start and others would say it has aged well. Photo: Brian Eyre
