Couple of trips to Sheffield and was able to do lot of walk around by the city center. Sheffield is a historic, old city in Yorkshire. The city is formed around River Sheaf. Sheffield is an industrial town located in 1 hour distance from the popular Manchester. Sheffield is also very popular for Football and cricket.
Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul
Nice architectural Cathedral. We visited in the evening on a sunny day and it was excellent to see the painted glass windows in the Cathedral. The model of the Cathedral shows in which centuries the Church has been constructed - in parts. Overall, a nice visit and authentic feel of history.
Cathedral Church of St Marie
Nice architecture and buildings of Church in the town. This is just a block away from Town Hall on one side and opposite to Crucible Theatre. This is a Roman Catholic cathedral in a lane in the heart of Sheffield.
Crucible Theatre
Crucible theatre is just in the centre of city. It is a minute walk from Peace gardens and couple of minutes walk from the Sheffield station.
Sheffield Winter Garden
A place for gathering - and getting warm during winter. This place hosts a bunch of exhibits and useful for people to get around and spend time. There are some shops selling Sheffield souvenirs as well. No entrance ticket - however there are donation boxes anywhere and everywhere.
Millennium Gallery
Nice Exhibits at the Millennium Gallery - this is inside the Sheffield Winter Garden. There is no entrance tickets ; however we can see donation boxes all around. The exhibits are quite interesting, artistic and creative. The gallery is worth a visit.
The Peace Gardens
Gathering place in heart of Sheffield town - just a place where people can get to gather and have a pleasant time - especially on a sunny day. Very popular landmark for people to meet. The fountains are an important attraction here.
Sheffield train station is situated on a old building and looks good at any point of time. Walk around the city center and by the river, one can see lots of historic building and arches.
