Description
This public hall was constructed in 1920-1934 by Emmanuel Vincent Harris. Built of Darley Dale stone, Sheffield City Hall opened on 22 September 1932. . During World War II a bomb exploded near the hall and damaged the pillars of the building. The scars of this explosion can still be seen to this day. A pair of four-foot high stone art deco lions, designed by John Hodge and each weighing 2.5 tonnes, stood at either side of the stage when the main hall first opened in 1932. They were removed in 1962 as part of a refurbishment of the City Hall.

Lisa Swift is a local artist from just north of Chesterfield. A couple of years ago she was introduced to drawing digitally on an iPad. Although she continues to love pencil drawing and painting, drawing digitally has also become one of her favourite mediums. Derbyshire with the Peak District are on her doorstep and a wonderful source of inspiration. She loves drawing landscapes, buildings and wildlife. Lisa hopes to build her collection of landscapes and beautiful buildings whilst visiting places such as Yorkshire, Kent and her favourite location in the UK, Devon.
