Opened in 1905 replacing an earlier Boots shop. Buff terracotta over modernised shop fronts. The architect, A N Bromley was Nottingham-based and carried out several commissions for Boots. This store bears a striking resemblance to its contemporary companion in Nottingham https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2798174 to the extent that it is likely that many of the same terracotta moulds were used for both. Despite the similarity, while the Nottingham building is Listed Grade II*, the Sheffield building is not even locally listed. The key difference is that the Nottingham store retains its original shop frontages.
