My day in court (urbex)

**peterc4** · 26th March 2013

Waingate in 1857: the Old Town Hall with its first clock tower on the leftThe first Town Council was elected in 1843 and took over the lease of the Town Trustees' hall in 1866. The following year, the building was extensively renovated, with a clock tower designed by Flockton & Abbott being added.
By the 1890s, the building had again become too small, and the current Sheffield Town Hall was built further south. The Old Town Hall was again extended in 1896-7, by the renamed Flockton, Gibbs & Flockton, and became Sheffield Crown Court and Sheffield High Court. In the 1990s, these courts moved to new premises, and since at least 1997 to present, the building remains disused.

I very much look forward to your urbex stuff son

Plus the fact that you take the time to study the places you shoot and post the info makes for great reading.
