Sheffield Town Hall Clock and Peace Gardens

A look at the beautiful town hall clock and peace gardens in Sheffield on Tuesday 18th November 2014.
Sheffield's fourth town hall, is located on Pinstone Street. It was designed by the London-based architect E. W. Mountford and constructed over a seven-year period from 1890 to 1897, opening on 21 May 1897. An extension designed by F. E. P. Edwards was completed in 1923. Bells were never installed in the clock-tower, but in 2002 an electronic bell sound system was added to provide hourly strikes and Westminster-style quarter chimes which you can hear at the end of this video.
The beautiful peace gardens were created in 1998 as part of the Sheffield Council's 'Heart of the City' project.

[@aspiecomputergeek9870]

Sheffield was interestingly enough home to a masterpiece organ by Aristide Cavaille-Coll which was in the Albert Hall however the organ burned in the fire. Interestingly enough a copy was made of the organ for Baron Albert L'Espee for his French Chateau in Ilbarritz and that organ is now in Sacre Couer.
