This photo is of a group of buildings that every Sheffielder will know, but may not recognise from this viewpoint.
I happened to notice this collection of interesting chimneys, turrets and roofs on my way up Vicar Lane past the end of St. James’s Street. At the back is the top of Kemsley House (the distinctive building that houses Bradford & Bingley on High Street) and then in front is the top of the building on the corner of East Parade that houses a branch of Lloyds TSB, the offices of Natural England and a few other organisations.
I had to take this photo several times as I had to zoom in so far to get in all of the features that I wanted the camera shake was terrible. Fortunately I managed to get one good shot, but unfortunately this was the one photo that didn’t include the edge of Sheffield Cathedral that should be on the left of the photo.




Very nice - a variety in the sky - in a lovely city.
