From old pubs and beautiful churches to venues like The Crucible Theatre and the City Hall, the majority of the locations given special status would come first on any roll call of Sheffield’s most precious places.
But less obvious spots have been listed too – ones that might not even catch the eye on a day-to-day basis. Here are some of the most unusual listed buildings in Sheffield.

8. Electric transformer, Fulwood
Hidden out of the way at the junction of Storth Lane and Belgrave Road, this is Grade II-listed as it is an early example of electricity distribution equipment. Dating from around 1900, it was made by the British Electric Transformer Co., of Hayes, Middlesex, and has two pairs of double doors on opposite sides. Photo: Google
