Founded in 1943 by Prof. W.E.S. Turner, this is a significant collection of 19th- and 20th-century glass. It has pieces by all the major European and American glassmakers. There is even a glass wedding dress, worn by Turner's wife! Wheelchair access is limited.
An atmospheric deconsecrated churchyard complete with heavily-weathered gravestones and mature trees around the 1826 neo-gothic former church, now University of Sheffield lecture theatre and student accommodation. In spring and summer, a pair of peregrine falcons can usually be seen nesting and raising chicks high on the church tower. While you're there, you might as well look at some of the university buildings around it, most notably the grade-II listed Sir Frederick Mappin Building is an imposing example of Edwardian architecture, while the striking metallic Diamond is either a modern masterpiece or a hideous carbuncle, depending on whom you ask.
A large and grand old concert hall mixing neoclassical and art-deco styles, which hosts theatre, music, opera, dance and comedy gigs. Arrive early to take in the building, including its portico, semi-circular rear and two stone lions and impressive decorated ceilings in the foyer and corridors. Not to be confused with the Town Hall, which is the seat of Sheffield City Council.
'Fog' by Tellas / mural by Phlegm
Fog is grey, white and indistinct, just like the weather phenomenon. The Phlegm mural just up the street is an impressive representation of a city. On the other side of the street is the imposing façade of the former Mount Zion hospital chapel.
