35-37 Suffolk Road, Sheffield
A melancholy ruin. Mid C19th, stuccoed with various trimmings so somebody wanted to show off.
W.W. Laycock & Sons Ltd was unsurprisingly engaged in metalwork industries - cutlery or silversmithery perhaps. Further along, another former occupant, Hill Bros (Silversmiths), is painted on the wall (Image]).
A sign optimistically proclaims a redevelopment opportunity, underneath which a rather more serious, and lithe, photographer than me was contorting himself to get the best angle.

Columbia Place, Suffolk Road
Built c1836 and looking like an important public building with the royal coat of arms over the entrance which dates from the time it was the premises of William Wuigfall & Sons brush manufacturers 1868/71 and known as Columbia Works with workshop range to rear, now converted into flats.

Columbia Place, Sheffield
The grand classical facade of this building, with its royal coat of arms, suggests a courthouse or town hall. In fact it was built as a cutlery factory by Thomas Tillotson in 1849, who was succeeded by other industrial occupants - steel and file manufacturers, brush makers, pipe organ builders and automotive engineers. During this time it has acquired a stucco finish and lost its top storey; the coat of arms may have been added around 1870 by William Wigfall & Sons, brushmakers by Royal Appointment. In 2004 it was converted into housing, offices and workshops. A plaque explaining its history is reproduced here: https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/6334-columbia-place/

Co-op, Suffolk Road, Sheffield
An intriguing building, owing quite a lot to Le Corbusier but not its extraordinary pitched "roof". The use of brick is rather Scandinavian. One would like to know more about it. Early 1960s perhaps.
It's a branch of Co-operative Funeral Care.
