Park Hill, South Street Park, Sheffield (2)
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.

Park Hill flats
City in the sky, a grade II listed complex. The section in the foreground is empty, as are most of the others. The north west corner has been rejuvenated and extensively refurbished for sale by Urban Splash. Whether all of the blocks get similar treatment we'll have to wait and see. Not all have views enjoyed by those now on sale.

Park Hill Flats
Viewed here from the side of the tramway, the high-rise council housing estate, Park Hill, was built between 1957 and 1961. In 1998, it was given Grade II* listed building status, the largest listed building in Europe. The estate is currently being renovated by developers Urban Splash, following a long period of decline.
