History of Sheffield’s Old Town Hall and Crown Courts
Sheffield Old Town Hall was commissioned to replace Sheffield’s first town hall, which had opened in 1700 to a design by William Renny. The initial building, built in 1807–8, was a five-bay structure but was extended in 1833 and again in 1866. The most prominent feature was the new central clock tower over a new main entrance. At the same time, the building’s courtrooms were linked by underground passages to the neighbouring Sheffield Police Offices.
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 1896–97. In the 1990s, these courts moved to new premises, and since at least 1997 to present, the building remains disused.
In 2007, it was named by the Victorian Society as one of their top ten buildings most at-risk.
