The Old Town Hall was designed by Charles Watson and built in 1807–08. It was superseded by a better and bigger town hall that still stands on Pinstone Street and was opened by Queen Victoria in 1897. Currently, in the neighbourhood of The Old Town Hall significant city centre regeneration and remodelling is underway - hence the panelling to the right of this picture - hiding ongoing works on the site of Sheffield's lost medieval castle.
