Park Hill has been a visible landmark on the Sheffield skyline for over 60 years.
It is considered of international importance due to being the first built example of external access decks (known as Streets in the Sky) and was awarded Grade II* listing in 1998.
There followed a regeneration scheme, the first phase being shortlisted for the Stirling prize for architecture in 2013, which continues today.
It is also culturally prominent, having featured in film, tv, music, artworks and on stage.
Park Hill Residents’ Association invite you on this 90 minute resident-led tour to walk along the Streets in the Sky where you will learn about the history of Park Hill, its celebrated (and lesser known) architectural details and gain an insight into life here today. The tour will also take in a visit to a refurbished flat.
Tickets are free and go on sale at 10:00 on Saturday 24th August (note the booking page will not be accessible until then).
The tour on 7 September is part of the Sheffield Showcase 2024 programme. This tour also forms part of Heritage Open Days 2024.
