Designed by John Jenkinson in the 1970s, this concrete fronted church is the Trinity United Reformed Church, Ecclesall Road. Is this truly a Neo-Brutalist architectural structure, because there seems to be an older building attached to it behind? The facade was stark white when first opened in 1971. Critics of the neo-brutalist style have found it unappealing due to its cold appearance that is said to project an atmosphere of totalitarianism. Such creations were also seen as mirroring other evidence of urban decay, especially as construction materials often seemed to weather poorly in certain climates and their surfaces prone to being used for graffiti. The suburb of Hunter's Bar lies to its left and that of Banner Cross to the right.
