Modernist Churches of Sheffield


“Breaking with the 19th century's gothic and decorative traditions, Sheffield's period of post-war development saw modernism adopted by churches that were established to serve the growing communities of new-build estates. 

These striking. bold and unexpectedly beautiful new churches focused on democratising their halls, emphasising open-ness, natural light and unique angles, and demystifying previously rarefied spaces.

Modernist Churches of Sheffield maps out nine such churches.”

Sheffield Ale Trail

“Sheffield is as much a city of ale as it is a city of
steel.

Like the river winding its way through Shalesmoor
and Kelham Island, this tour meanders along
stopping off at many of our favourite taverns and
drinking holes for a sup. Or two. Starting at Sheffield
Station, the trail takes us from modern 'world beer'
pubs through traditional establishments and into the
post-industrial end of the city, where the true ale
gems lie.”
