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.
5. Park Hill flats
Sheffield's Park Hill flats have been described as is a masterpiece of Brutalist architecture but Europe's largest Grade II-listed building, which is gaining fresh recognition thanks to the hit musical Standing at the Sky's Edge, continues to divide opinion Photo: Marisa Cashill
6. St Paul’s City Lofts
Sheffield's tallest building, St Paul's Tower or St Paul's City Lofts, has 32 storeys and rises to 101 metres. Some people love the addition to the city's skyline but others think the views looking out are much better than the views of the building. Photo: Google
7. The Diamond
This University of Sheffield building on Leavygreave Road was shortlisted in the Carbuncle Cup for ‘worst new building in the UK’ by the Building Design architecture magazine, but the striking facade has its fans. Photo: -
8. The Arts Tower
The 22-storey Grade II*-listed University of Sheffield's Arts Tower became the city's tallest building when it was completed in 1965, though it has since been surpassed by St Paul's Tower. It remains one of Sheffield's most iconic structure, looming over Weston Park, but as with most buildings it is not universally admired. Photo: David Kessen
