Making The Most of Sheffield's History

Sheffield has a great history and there are many organisations preserving it. Here are a few:

  • Friends of the Old Town Hall a campaigning group, set up in 2014 to press for the rescue of the Sheffield Old Town Hall, a beautiful and historic former town hall and courthouse. This Grade 2 listed building has been empty since the Crown Court was relocated to West Bar in 1996.
  • www.hhbs.org.uk Hallamshire Historic Buildings has been campaigning to protect Sheffield's architectural heritage since 1970. There have been some serious losses, but you may be surprised at some of our successes

A broad range of organisations and individuals representing the Sheffield area’s very diverse heritage sector have come together to explore ways to develop a better resourced, better connected and better communicated heritage offer for a wide range of audiences.
