Cole Brothers: 10 new photos showing ideas for John Lewis in Sheffield

Developers are urging people to have their say on the future of Cole Brothers as they gear up to transform the building.

Urban Splash has issued a batch of photos showing ideas for the Barker’s Pool building.

We have gathered them here - along with a selection from yesteryear when it was an attraction that lit up Sheffield city centre.

Urban Splash’s exhibition is in Cole Brothers on Tuesday and Wednesday October 1-2, all welcome, no need to book.
