We asked our readers on the streets and on social media to name ‘most beautiful’ building in Sheffield, and we received many suggestions.
It follows on from a survey commissioned by Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland that set out to find the country’s top 30 stunning buildings – and Sheffield received a mention at number 29.
