‘What is your favourite place in Sheffield?’

Inspired by Peter Blundell Jones’ exhibition at the University of Sheffield, we want to know which part of the city holds a special place in your heart.

His design presents a detailed model of Sheffield in 1900, transporting you back in time.

One of the factories displays on the model, with a tall chimney and detailed windows included.

A close look at one of the buildings in the model, standing out above a raft of smaller structures around it.

A wide-shot of the design, with a full Sheffield from 1900 made from scaled white parts.

Looking down one of the roads in the design, with notable lampposts lining the street with buildings on both sides.
