Hi everyone,

I was in town yesterday, walking down Church street and I walked passed this building and realised how beautiful the architecture of it was.

Was this a court house?Image result for buildings on church street sheffield

I would love to have any information on this.

Thanks in advance.

No.
Roughly speaking, the  only Court Buildings were/are:

The now derelict,OLD Town Hall building at the junction with Castle St a combined Magistrates, Quarter Sessions and Assize Courts building served until the opening of the present, modern,  Combined  Court Centre in West Bar.

The Magistrates Court had already been relocated into its own large building next to Castle St, Police HQ.

The OLD Coroners Court Nursery St served until the opening of the Medico Legal Centre on Watery St in the 1970s

The old County Court was housed in a building on Queen St until the opening of the Combined Courts Centre(above)

A Tribunal Centre was situated on East Parade (about a quarter of a mile further down Church St - as the name suggests on the East side of The Cathedral. At this time Im unsure whether it is still located there.
