Many people think some of these iconic buildings in Sheffield should have never been demolished.

We have browsed through Sheffield Archives to list together 10 iconic buildings that once stood in Sheffield.

These pictures show just a few of the buildings that have disappeared over the years, including the Sheffield Town Hall Egg Box, Kelvin Flats and blocks at Norfolk Park and Hyde Park.

Many images are for sale on the archives website at Picture Sheffield (picturesheffield.com) – search using the reference number in the caption.
