More about this scene
The heart of the city changed almost continuously throughout the 20th century as new public buildings, office buildings and department stores were constructed and road building and widening schemes took place. Almost every decade saw the construction of a new city landmark: the Methodists' Victoria Hall in Norfolk Street in 1908, Sheffield Newspapers' Kemsley House in High Street in 1916, the City Hall between 1928 and 1932; the Central Library and Graves Art Gallery in 1933; the College of Technology buildings at Pond Street (now the city campus of Sheffield Hallam University) built between 1953 and 1968; the Cole Brothers department store in 1965, the Crucible Theatre in 1971 and Orchard Square in 1987.
