Park Hill, South Street Park, Sheffield (1)
Park Hill is the only building to put Sheffield on the world map of architecture. Its slabs overlook the city like a C20th fortified wall. It embodies the idea of 'streets in the sky', an attempt to recapture the community spirit of the slums it replaced, its deck access famously wide enough to accommodate a milk float. As well as 994 flats, the estate included a shopping centre, laundry, police station, four pubs, and, later, a primary school with playground. Park Hill was built in 1957-61 and designed by Jack Lynn and Ivor Smith. Grade II* listed.

The architecture has taken the rap for the usual neglect and social problems which have since beset the estate. Trendy developers Urban Splash were commissioned to renovate it, including partial privatisation. The obligatory brightly-coloured panels delineate those areas that have been 'splashed'. The bare concrete sections can only watch and await their fate.

Sheffield: renovated Park Hill flats
This large development of block of flats, seen as a monstrous eyesore or 60s heritage depending on your standpoint, was given Grade II Listed status in 1998 but only now has the foreseen modernisation begun to see fruition. Here we see the north face of the building, which has been given a tidy-up and a splash of colour.

Sheffield: Park Hill flats
This distinctive landmark on the Sheffield skyline has recently become unoccupied and they will shortly start undergoing a lengthy revamp. At least for the time being, a large piece of advertising space!
