Quick one..

The building on the right in the centre with the white columns - looks v important - anyone know what it is/was?

It's number 18, Paradise Square

Was this Fanum House where the AA had its Sheffield base? (The traffic people!)

Years ago ,I went to a re creation of John Wesley’s preaching in Paradise Square and I think it was from that building he gave his sermon.

From a history talk I attended recently, Paradise Row was built first, and the houses were very prestigious. It initially kept the original name of Workhouse (Rd?) but seeing as the road name didn't reflect how prestigious the houses were, it was renamed Paradise Row. The remainder of the  square appeared later.
