Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking from Granby Road on the hill to the east. The red car passing across the frame is on Barnsley Road (the A6135), behind that lies the Northern General Hospital. I can vaguely remember when the Northern General was formed by the amalgamation of the Northern Infirmary and City General in the mid-sixties.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The 'right wing' of the original hospital buildings was demolished in the early 1990's to make room for the building of the fantastic Chesterman Cardiothoracic Unit ... this is named after James Chesterman of 'Spring Steel Tape Measure' fame. On the right of this picture is part of the original Clock Tower building. [[1078477]] [[1078488]]

Dist:0.3km<br/>A superb and imposing building complete with 1878 carving above the door ... imagine being homeless and being sent to the Sheffield Union Workhouse as an inmate and seeing this building as you trudged up the drive ... welcoming or not? Anyway as an inmate you wouldn't have been allowed through this door! [[1078477]] [[1078483]]

Dist:0.3km<br/>Lots of departments are within the Huntsman Building ... Main Reception, Burns Unit, Endoscopy, Fracture Clinic, High Dependency Unit, Medical Assessment, Orthopaedics ... and most importantly the A&E Department. The building is named after Benjamin Huntsman who developed Crucible Steel in Sheffield.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This view shows the Clock Tower building and part of the 'wing' running off to its right. A similar 'wing' used to run off to its left when then the building was built (in 1878) and opened (in 1881) as the Sheffield Union Workhouse. The Clock Tower building was the main entrance - for staff and visitors, but (presumably) not for the inmates. The whole building was a quarter of a mile in length. The Clock Tower building is in use as offices and as an Art Gallery / Display Area and as such is open to the public. Other than part being a Staff Gymnasium ... I'm not sure what the 'wing' is used for ... probably offices. The Staff Car Park was mostly empty as it was a Sunday! [[1078477]] [[1078488]]
