Location
The Moor
Description
A truely monolithic brutalist office building sitting at the end of The Moor in Sheffield's city centre.  A spectacular building featuring red brick bands between rows of windows separated by concrete panels.

It was apparently once known as the Manpoweer Services Commission building and was occupied by:  The Department for Children, Schools and Families; the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills; the Department for Work and Pensions; and the Home Office.  It was expected that the building would be demolished to make way for a new financial district, but after the central government departments moved out, several departments of the Sheffield Town Hall moved in.
