Sheffield Children's Hospital

The Sheffield Children's Hospital is a healthcare facility for children in Broomhill, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It is managed by the Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust. History The hospital first opened on 15 November 1876 as a children's infirmary in Brightmore House, on Brook Hill in Sheffield. Two years later it moved to its current site on Western Bank where it was accommodated in a pair of semi-detached houses. By the mid-1890s it was decided that the two old house were inadequate and should be pulled down and replaced. A new building on Brook Hill was opened in 1903, designed by the architect John Dodsley Webster. The first X-ray machine and electric lights arrived in 1907 and a new operating theatre and electric radiators were installed in the 1920s. Two new wards were completed in 1927, a baby ward was opened in the 1930s and a second operating theatre was built in the 1950s. The accident and emergency department was extended in the 1970s and services were transferred from the Northern General Hospital in the 1990s. During the 1990s it was featured in the BBC Television series Children's Hospital. Local football club Sheffield Wednesday donated their shirt sponsorship to Sheffield Children's Hospital and the associated Children's Hospital Charity for the 2009 – 10 and 2010–11 seasons. A new wing, built at a cost of £40 million, was completed in 2018. The new wing provides a new hospital main entrance, outpatients consulting suites, specialist diagnostic and treatment areas, and three new wards. The new wing was officially opened by Prince Harry in July 2019. Research The Sheffield Children's Clinical Research Facility (CCRF) opened in 2008 as the first dedicated CCRF in the UK. Research at Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust spans a range of specialities including bone disease, genetics, respiratory disease, neurology, radiology, cancer and blood diseases, endocrinology and mental health. In 2012 the hospital received over £1 million in grants for research into the treatment of bronchiolitis, the use of vibration plate therapy to prevent fractures in children, and the development of bone scanning to replace X-rays in the study of bones in children. Public transport connections The hospital is served by University of Sheffield tram stop which is situated a short walk away on the South Yorkshire Supertram network. The stop was opened in 1995 and is served by the Blue and Yellow routes. Local bus services stop on the main road, Western Bank, in front of the hospital. Additionally, a bus stop within the grounds of the adjacent Royal Hallamshire Hospital acts as the terminus of the H1 bus service which runs across the city to the Northern General Hospital, providing free transport for NHS staff between the hospitals of Sheffield.

Sheffield City Hall

El Sheffield City Hall és un monument classificat de Grau II* de la ciutat de Sheffield, Anglaterra, que domina la Barker's Pool, una de les places centrals de la ciutat. Va ser construït i és propietat del Sheffield City Council però actualment està gestionat pel Sheffield City Trust, en una cessió de 99 anys, i l'opera la Sheffield International Venues com a sala de concerts i altres esdeveniments en les seves diverses sales. Història L'edifici va ser dissenyat l'any 1920 per E. Vincent Harris però la construcció es va endarrerir 8 anys degut al clima econòmic de principis dels anys 20. Amb el temps la construcció va començar amb la col·locació de la primera pedra el 27 de juny 1929 i l'Ajuntament va ser inaugurat oficialment el 22 de setembre de 1932. Es va proposat originalment el 1916 com un Centre per commemorar els morts de la Gran Guerra però en el moment de finalització del nom havia canviat a Sheffield City Hall, després d'alguns anys de controvèrsia. Durant la Segona Guerra Mundial una bomba va explotar al Barker's Pool, resultant-ne danyats els pilars de l'edifici. Les marques de l'explosió encara són visibles actualment. El 2005, el City Hall i els seus voltants han estat reconstruïts i re-desenvolupats amb un cost de £12,5 milions de lliures. Arquitectura i funcionalitats És un edifici neoclàssic amb un gran pòrtic. L'Oval Hall és la sala més gran de l'edifici, amb una capacitat per a 2.271 persones assegudes. L'orgue Grand Willis III és el més gran de Sheffield amb més de 4.000 tubs i quatre manuals. L'orgue està situat a la cambra ubicada al costat de les grans reixes decoratives de cara al públic. També hi ha una sala Memorial amb capacitat de 500 persones assegudes, i una sala de ball.

The facility is served by buses operating across the Sheffield region, as well as National Express coaches that connect Sheffield with destinations across the United Kingdom. The Interchange is located on the eastern side of Sheffield City Centre on Pond Street. The majority of bus stands at the Interchange are inside the dedicated Interchange building, although there are five additional bus stands located at the roadside on Flat Street opposite the Interchange building.

Built into the Interchange is a building known as the Archway Centre, which contains a Travel South Yorkshire Customer Service Desk, WHSmith, DJ's Cafe, Ticket Kiosks, Public Toilets and Waiting Facilities. History Sheffield Interchange was opened in 1936 as Pond Street bus station. Covered accommodation was built in 1956, replacing the collection of open-air bus stops. From 8 October 1960, the bus station ceased to share its accommodation with the Sheffield Tramway as the light rail network was closed. Work began on the reconstruction of the bus station in the early 1990s, and it was renamed Sheffield Interchange.

Sheffield Legends

Sheffield Legends is a Walk of Fame located outside Sheffield Town Hall honouring famous people from or connected to Sheffield. As in the Hollywood version, there are plaques with famous people's names on them and why they are famous. The idea was first suggested in 2005 when the people of Sheffield were asked who should be honoured after a local resident suggested honouring the footballer Gordon Banks, who grew up in Sheffield. To date, the inductees are: References External links Sheffield Legends
Sheffield Park cricket ground

Sheffield Park is a cricket ground at the Sheffield Park estate, located near Uckfield, East Sussex, England. From 1881 to 1896 it was the home ground of Lord Sheffield's XI, organised by Henry Holroyd, 3rd Earl of Sheffield, who in 1891 donated £150 to the New South Wales Cricket Association which was used to purchase a plate and establish the competition known as the Sheffield Shield. Cricket had been played at the ground for the previous 30 years before 1881, but these matches were unrecorded. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1881, when Lord Sheffield's XI played Alfred Shaw's XI, which was also the first first-class match on the ground. From 1881 to 1896, Lord Sheffield's XI played 9 first-class matches, the last of which came against the touring Australians. During this match, 25,000 people were allowed to watch the match for free; Lord Sheffield never charged for people to come and watch matches at the ground. Lord Sheffield had an octagonal pavilion constructed during 1881–1882, and later a separate ladies pavilion was built. Following Lord Sheffield's death in 1909, with him cricket largely died out at the estate. During World War I the ground was requisitioned for farming, wiping out the cricket ground. Subsequently, trees were planted on the site, but most were blown down in the 1987 hurricane. In 2009, a new square was laid, a pavilion was built, and the outfield was restored in its parkland setting. The reopening of the ground was celebrated with a match between an Old England XI and a Lord Sheffield Australian XI. Today, the restored ground is the home of the Armadillos Cricket Club.

Sheffield Park Academy

Sheffield Park Academy is a high performing 11–18 secondary school in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, with almost 1,200 pupils, including 150 in a dedicated Sixth Form. The academy is part of United Learning, a national group of schools whose motto is 'the best in everyone'. It opened in 2006 on the site of the predecessor school, Waltheof, moving into a £30 million, purpose-built facility in 2008. Since then, the academy's sustained academic success has seen it placed in the top 5% of schools in the country according to the Progress 8 measure. This is the government's new measure that records pupil progress from the end of the primary school to the end of secondary school. Admissions The academy is a co-educational school, catering for pupils aged 11 to 18, of all faiths and none. It has a dedicated Sixth Form, which maintains an excellent record of students going on to university or employment and apprenticeships. Academic achievements After a visit from Ofsted in October 2017, the academy maintained its 'Good' grading in all aspects of the inspection framework. Inspectors also noted how the academy had "taken action to respond to the areas for improvement identified in the last inspection report". Key findings of the inspection report were as follows: "There are a wide range of different cultures in the school and it is a tribute to the efforts of leaders that there is such a harmonious atmosphere in the school and that tolerance and the acceptance of diversity are at its very heart." "The academy has worked hard to raise aspirations of the most able pupils. As a result, the most able pupils can see opportunities for education and careers beyond their local community. In discussions that inspectors held with some of your most able Year 11 pupils, it was clear that many had clear, precise plans to study A levels and then go to university." "Teachers described staff morale as high. There is a real emphasis on working together as a team and this has resulted in a coherent and happy staff. They feel well supported by leaders." "There is a strong, well-established system of professional development in the school. Working with United Learning and local schools and teaching alliances, the school has developed a wide range of training packages. This bespoke model of training is important in developing the considerable number of new teachers, recruited to cater for the increased number of pupils."

Sheffield Springs Academy

Sheffield Springs Academy is an 11–16 secondary school serving the Park, Manor and Castle wards of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The academy is part of United Learning, a national group of schools whose motto is "the best in everyone". It opened in September 2006 on the site of the predecessor school, moving into a £30 million, purpose-built facility in 2008. Over the past three years, the academy has emerged from an Ofsted category. The most recent Ofsted inspection judged the school as a good provider and agreed that the school has benefited directly from a secure, highly experienced senior leadership team alongside the support of United Learning. As part of this, the school has innovated its curriculum offer, as well as improving areas such as pupils' transition from primary to secondary. For instance, its "Early Risers" initiative, run in conjunction with Sheffield Park Academy, has set a trail for other schools to follow. Academic achievements In 2017, Sheffield Springs Academy achieved its best ever GCSE results, with a number of pupils scoring the top grade 9 in English and mathematics. The academy's Progress 8 score was +0.68, placing it in the top 10% nationally. That year was the first that English and mathematics grades were awarded a numeric value, with 9 being the new top grade, representing the best performance. Standards Following a visit from Ofsted in October 2016, inspectors noted how "the principal's appointment in January 2016 and the executive headteacher's arrival in April have strengthened leadership. Leaders and governors have left no stone unturned in identifying and then tackling weaknesses. Pupils and most staff welcome the changes and tangible improvements." The key findings of the inspection report were: "Improved teaching and better use of funding for disadvantaged pupils are helping to tackle differences between their rates of progress and those of other pupils effectively." "Recent strategies to support pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are hastening their rates of progress well." "Leaders are tackling robustly historic negative attitudes of some pupils and families where school is not valued and absence is condoned. Consequently, attendance rates, although below average, are improving rapidly this term." "High-quality transition work with primary schools ensures that pupils now settle quickly into school life." "Pupils are safe. Partnership working between the school's safeguarding team and the local authority's multi-agency support team (MAST) is strong. This ensures that pupils at risk or facing challenges in their lives are identified and supported as soon as concerns arise and before things can take a turn for the worse."

Vita Student Sheffield

Vita Student Sheffield (known as Telephone House prior to 2014) is a high-rise building on Wellington Street, near Charter Row in Sheffield city centre. It is 56 metres tall and has sixteen floors. When completed in 1972, it was Sheffield's third-tallest building; as of May 2020, it is now the ninth-tallest. History Completed in 1972, it was until 2012 utilised by BT in order to manage Sheffield's phone networks. It was built on the site of council housing towards the end of the 1960s/1970s regeneration of Sheffield. Part of the lower stories of the building now form a large multi-storey car park. In January 2012, a business consortium comprising companies Ace Liberty and Stone purchased the building, and BT fully vacated in October later that year. Around 400 BT workers and agency staff were made redundant due to the move, although some employees were offered the chance to take up work at Plusnet's Sheffield offices, as the company is a division of BT. Student accommodation In March 2014, the vacant Telephone House was purchased by developer Vita Student, with the intention of converting the building into 366 'high-standard' apartments for students attending Sheffield's two universities (Hallam and Sheffield). The building was renamed to Vita Student Sheffield at this time. The value of the project is estimated at around £35 million and the redevelopment of the building involved a complete refurbishment of the interior and a facelift for the exterior, with all the windows being replaced, while retaining the original look of the building. A sixteenth floor was added containing luxury penthouses and suites. The ground and basement floors, originally used as a car park, are now used for communal facilities such as a gym, cinema, games room, laundry room and reception area. Refurbishment work began in July 2014 and was completed in August 2015 in time for the 2015–2016 academic year. References
Sheffield Winter Garden

Sheffield Winter Garden is a large temperate glasshouse located in the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. It is one of the largest temperate glasshouses to be built in the UK during the last hundred years, and the largest urban glasshouse anywhere in Europe. It is home to more than 2,000 plants from all around the world. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 22 May 2003. Design and construction Part of the £120 million Heart of the City regeneration project that has created the Peace Gardens and the £15 million Millennium Galleries, the Winter Garden was designed by Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects and Buro Happold and is some 70 metres (77 yd) long and 21 metres (23 yd) high. The building has background frost protection to a minimum of 4 degrees Celsius and it is one of the largest Glued Laminated Timber or "Glulam" buildings in the UK (Glulam is made by forming and gluing strips of timber into specific shapes). The wood used is Larch, a durable timber which will, over time, turn a light silvery grey colour. The larch, derived from sustainable forests, requires no preservatives or coatings. This reduces the use of solvents and also avoids the use of chemicals that could harm the plants. The building has an intelligent Building Management System which controls fans and vents to make sure the plants are cooled in summer and kept warm in winter. The system will "learn" year by year. The bedding plants are changed five times a year, to give a seasonal change, and all the plants are watered by hose or by watering can, as it is the only way to ensure that all the plants get the correct amount of water.
