A view of the Grade II* listed glass pavilions on the northern edge of the municipally-owned botanical gardens with the Royal Hallamshire Hospital tower block on the horizon sandwiched between the spire of St Mark’s Church, Broomhill and The Arts Tower (of The University of Sheffield). The pavilions, that are heated greenhouses were restored and reopened in 2003. The gardens, designed by Robert Marnock, were opened in 1836 on 18 acres (73,000 m2) of south-facing farmland that had been purchased from the estate of local snuff manufacturer, Joseph Wilson. This picture was taken from Birch Hill, the highest point in the gardens.
