I presume it's disused – its blinds are hardly an advert for business.

Park Hill Flats, Sheffield, redesigned
By Urbansplash, now looking, from the exterior much pleasanter than in the 1960s, when it was first built; it rapidly became dilapidated and somewhere people didn't want to live.The Grade 2* listing of the building in 1998 was opposed by many who wanted the Council to demolish the flats.

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.
