Monumental Archway, Norfolk Park, Sheffield
The monumental arch is all that remains of the original refreshment pavilion that served the parks visitors. The pavilion was built around 1910 and survived until it had to be demolished following an arson attack in 1995. The top of the arch contains the coats of arms of the Duke of Norfolk (who donated the park to the city) and of the city itself. In the centre is a relief of the Duke of Norfolk. the text in the panel beneath reads:
THIS BUILDING IS SET UP

PARK TO THE CITIZENS OF SHEFFIELD
BY HENRY DUKE OF NORFOLK K.G.
AUGUST MDCCCCX
As a result of a lottery funded project a new modern building was built nearby to serve the local community and visitors as part of an overall scheme to restore the park.
