EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the breathtaking entrance hall of Sheffield Town Hall, a Victorian architectural masterpiece located on Pinstone Street in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Designed by E.W. Mountford, the town hall was completed in 1897 and this image, taken by renowned photographer H. Bedford Lemere, provides a glimpse into the grandeur and intricacy of its interior. The photograph focuses on the impressive grand staircase, adorned with decorative planting supplied by Fisher, Son and Sibray, a local nursery. The lush greenery adds a touch of natural beauty to the ornate architecture, creating a harmonious blend of nature and artifice. The intricate details of the staircase, from the delicate balustrades to the ornate newels, are showcased in this image, highlighting the exceptional craftsmanship that went into the design and construction of the town hall. The entrance hall serves as a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the Victorian era, with its high ceilings, ornate columns, and intricate decorative details. The use of natural light, as seen in this photograph, further accentuates the beauty of the space, casting a warm and inviting glow over the grand staircase and the surrounding area. This photograph is a valuable historical record of the town hall's opening, with Queen Victoria scheduled to attend the event on May 21st, 1897.
