janice844 0 Posted February 10, 2008 I'm amazed to be first and don't know the answer to the next question ! <Buffoon> The little lane up the side is called Bethel Walk, from there you can see that the art deco frontage has been added onto the front of an older building which someone told me used to be a chapel. I'm working on the top floor at the moment, on a short term contract, I don't think the date on the front is 1930's, (I'll have to have a look) but the inside is really deco.

syrup 27 Posted February 11, 2008 I'm amazed to be first and don't know the answer to the next question ! <Buffoon> Hi RichardB, Sorry if i mislead with the question but if you look closely at the stone engraving the initials are GB and not CB as in George Binns ( outfitters ) Who had the shop before Cole Brothers. PS What happens to such stonework do they save them for prosperity ( for lack of a better word ) or do they just destroy them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HughW 13 Posted February 15, 2008 From Coles Restaurant you can see the pediment of the Bethel Chapel above the old Coles sports/toy frontage. Looks like an impressive building in its day: Picture Sheffield link The Sunday School to the left is also still there, but not for long. Hugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichardB 18 Posted February 26, 2008 I am Mexican, I am taking an MA in Fine Art in Psalter Lane. Does any one know anything about the history of the building? How built it etc? Do you have an address for the building, I can't place it. Psalter Lane I can place, just not any educational establishments. Mind you, it's been a while .... Welcome to the Site, Enjoy, post lots, I hope you find some good answers ... and, if you've got a stinker of a question about Public Houses ... ask Tsavo !

HughW 13 Posted February 27, 2008 The oldest part of the Psalter Lane Campus (of Sheffield Hallam) was built as the Blue Coat School when it moved from East Parade in 1911. In WW2 it was taken over by the army and after the war was soon taken over by the Sheffield Education Committe as an Art School. - interesting detail about its history in the war on the BBC People's War site The 1903 OS map (Alan Godfrey reprint) shows the site as quarry/fields.
