boginspro Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 It is on the 1938 extension of the Gas Offices on Commercial Street, presumably by Philip Lindsey Clark as is the figure on the other end of that building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield History Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 It is on Commercial Street yes! I noticed these sculpture things as I stood at the tram stop near Canada House You can see and learn so much from just looking UP in Sheffield! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmel House is actually on the corner of Norfolk Row, picture (c) Google Street View. I think it was originally built for the Y.M.C.A. and also had some nice plaster work inside and I think some stained glass windows, I wonder if any of that is still there?

Why I put St James Row I'll never know as I know perfectly well it's Norfolk Row, sack cloth and ashes for a week !!. The creation of the world carvings are over the first floor windows.

Certainly a fine and interesting building, I would like to see more control of the the design of frontages of the ground floor shops, as is often said on here "you have to look up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
