So while the extension has long since gone and now the Winter Gardens stand proudly next to the Town Hall can you still remember what it used to look like?
We have dug out some pictures from our archive to show you just what it used to look like and the last pictures taken before it became rubble and dust.
It was demolished in 2002 after just 25 years to make way for the Sheffield Winter Gardens, St Paul's Hotel and an office block, and replaced with a new office block called Howden House to the south of the site on Charles Street. Photo: Stuart Hastings (Staff)
