This fine looking building at the corner of the A6178 Attercliffe Road, Baltic Road and Shortridge Street was designed by Sheffield architects Frank Chapman and John Jenkinson, and was completed in 1933. The store closed in 1979. The building is now occupied by a firm of solicitors. Could anyone tell me the correct term for the ornaments lining top of the building, please.
