Sheffield Architecture

Sheffield, England — 2025

My home town, like 99% British cities, is a mixture of the very old, 60’s concrete, and the new. The old that survived the blitz to which many UK industrial cities were subected tends to 100s of years, the concrete brutalism that filled in the gaps in the yers of recovery, and the new that is replacing that as cities try to modernise. I love the way they all sit together.
