The 'New' Town Hall was opened by Queen Victoria. She was elderly by then and never got out of her carriage which stopped by the main steps, the opening was by electric switch in her carriage from which a wire ran into the building. If you get the photos up on 'Picture Sheffield' ( type in " Queen Victoria opening Town Hall." ) you will see the wire running at 45 degrees to the right of the carriage.
