We asked readers what they thought the ugliest buildings in Sheffield were, and they didn’t hold back!
Old or new, some structures simply don't appeal.
What do you think of this list? Comment below if you think we’ve missed any out.
Worth noting however, we decided not to add Bramall Lane or Hillsborough, as we didn’t quite trust the reasons behind people voting for them!
1. John Lewis
Controversially listed. This one is only loved by heritage nerds, architects - and Historic England which praised the Barker’s Pool building as ‘a rare surviving example of high modernism in a department store’. Photo: David Walsh
2. Moorfoot
Concrete brutalism at least has a few fans, but this red brick monster - Sheffield's biggest office block - apparently has none. Photo: Dean Atkins
3. Container Park
Is it just because they are new? Or do stacked former shipping containers, complete with original dents and painted dark grey, not add up to an architectural delight? On Fargate now. Photo: David Walsh
4. Moore Street sub station
In recent times there have been efforts to burnish this building’s image, but it’s brutally practical concrete form cannot be softened by a few coloured downlights. One for the trainspotter. Photo: Google
