The Bath Hotel is a pub in Broomhall district of Sheffield, in England. The building was built in about 1868, as a grocers' shop at the end of a terrace of houses, on Victoria Street. The grocery also operated as a beerhouse, and it was sold to Ind Coope in 1914. Around this date, it became a dedicated pub, named after the nearby Glossop Road Baths. In 1931, the brewery extended it into the neighbouring house and remodelled the entire pub. It retains almost all of its fittings from this period. It was Grade II listed in 1999, and also appears on the Campaign for Real Ale's (CAMRA) National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. It was restored in 2001, the work winning the national Pub Conservation Award. The building is three storeys high at the front, and two at the back, the two fronts meeting at a sharp corner. The lowest part of the walls are tiled, and the original leaded windows survive, some with stained glass. There is a toilet block at the rear, added in 1931. Inside, there are two bars, a lounge snug in the corner with a serving hatch, and a main bar, linked by corridor, which also has access to the serving area, designed to allow stand up drinking.Features from the 1931 remodelling include the tiled floor, counter with tiled front, fixed seating and internal doors. Historic England describes it as "an unusually complete example of a Sheffield corner public house".

St George's Church, Portobello
St George's Church, Portobello

St George's Church, Portobello, is a former Church of England parish church in the City of Sheffield, England. It is now part of the University of Sheffield and is a lecture theatre and student housing. St George's is the first of three Commissioners' churches to have been built in Sheffield under the Church Building Act 1818. The other two are St Mary's Church, Bramall Lane and St Philip's Church, Netherthorpe (demolished 1951). St George's is a Gothic Revival building designed by the architects Woodhead and Hurst in a Perpendicular Gothic style. It was built at a cost of £15,181 (equivalent to £1,330,000 in 2021), the whole cost being met by the Church Building Commission.The building is 122 feet (37 m) long and 67 feet (20 m) wide, and consisted of a flat-ceilinged nave with six bays, a single-bay chancel, and a 140 feet (43 m)-high tower. Galleries extended the length of the north and south walls, and there was a two-tiered gallery on the west wall. In total the church could seat 380 people. The foundation stone was laid on 19 July 1821, and the church was consecrated by Archbishop Vernon Harcourt on 29 June 1825. The church was declared redundant and closed in 1981. It stood unused for a number of years until the University of Sheffield acquired it and in 1994 had it converted into a lecture theatre and student accommodation. Prior to this it had been the last of the Commissioners' churches in Sheffield to retain its original form. It is a Grade II listed building.In 2010 a nest-box was placed on the church rooftop, which is now home to a breeding pair of peregrine falcons that can be seen via live stream webcam.

Information Commons, Sheffield

The Information Commons (also known as the IC) is a library and computing building in Sheffield, England, and is part of the University of Sheffield. The architects were the Edinburgh-based RMJM. The IC is located on Leavygreave Road, close to the University tram stop. It opened on 10 April 2007 to staff and students of the University, although it was officially opened on 26 September 2007 by Harsh Srivastav, a graduate of the University and former President of the Students Union. The project was conceived and is jointly operated by the University Library and the Corporate Information and Computing Services (CiCS). Soon after opening, satirical British magazine, Private Eye questioned the appropriateness of the building's name as a "commons", pointing out that ordinary residents of Sheffield, temporary staff and visiting researchers from other universities are forbidden access.The IC has over 1,300 study spaces, 500 computers, and carries 100,000 texts. There is an information desk and a café on the ground floor, toilets and water fountains on all levels and shower facilities on the first level. The building is open to University of Sheffield staff and students 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. On Thursday 2 February 2017, the IC hosted the University of Sheffield #1lib1ref event. As of 2016, the Information Commons hosts the University's Digital Commons, a collaborative space to develop innovations in Digital Learning. The Information Commons was temporary closed during the summer vacation of 2017 due to the interior refurbishment. The IC was reopened in September 2017 with alterations to interior design and layout.
