Home / Photographs of the old Hoyland Fox site on Valley Road (scroll the page for the latest photos)

Sadly, due to the lack of imagination of the developers and architects involved, this beautiful structure has been demolished :(
The complex was mentioned (albeit briefly) in the 2004 book "Pevsner Architectural Guides: Sheffield"
A modern complex of flats/apartments is being constructed on the same site during spring/summer of 2006.
- ... just what Sheffield needs ...
For some of the comments from the City Council's planning department report, read on...
