Sheffield Sunday school with permission for food hall disappoints at auction
The property has now been withdrawn from the market
A former Sunday School on one of Sheffield’s most popular streets - with planning permission to be turned into a food hall - got no bids at auction.
Endcliffe Sunday School was listed in the BTG Eddisons July auction with a guide price of £750,000.
Auctioneer Adrian Little said the property has now been withdrawn from the market while the owner considers whether to take on the project themselves.
The building has two planning permissions.
One gives permission for the building to be turned into a food hall and the other is for residential purposes, with permission for nine apartments in the main building and four new town houses.
The building has been on sale since February 2025 after Revolution Bars pulled out of plans to turn it into a food hall.
Built in 1927 as a Sunday School, in later years it was sold to the University of Sheffield and, in 1985, became the Traditional Heritage Museum.
The museum closed in 2011 and the building was last used by the university in 2016.
