Bedste tid at besøge

Visit on a sunny afternoon when the colored concrete panels pop against the sky and you can see all the way to the Peak District. Weekday mornings are quieter if you want to photograph without people in the frame.

Budgettips

The exterior and elevated walkways are completely free to explore at any time. No tickets or passes needed, just show up and wander.

Om

Hurtige fakta: Det enorme brutalistiske boligkompleks strækker sig over 32 acres og rummer 995 lejligheder arrangeret i slående vandrette bånd af farvet beton. Dets berømte koncept med "gader i himlen" var revolutionerende i 1960'erne og skabte hele forhøjede gangbroer, hvor beboerne kunne socialisere ligesom på en traditionel gade.

Højdepunkter: Et samarbejde med Yorkshire Artspace-kollektivet bragte kæmpe neonbogstaver, der dannede legende slogans, på kompleksets facade om natten, herunder én der lyder "I Love You Will U Marry Me." Betonen blev malet i dristige lyserøde, gule, lilla og blå paneler for at ryste af sig sit grå rygte, hvilket får det til at ligne et kæmpe Mondrian-maleri mod Sheffields skyline.

Insidertips

  • Enter from the Park Hill roundabout side to see the famous neon art installation up close after dark.
  • Wear comfortable shoes because the ramps and walkways are deceptively long and mostly concrete.
  • Skip the interior areas marked private; residents still live here and the best views are from the public walkways.
  • Bring a wide-angle lens if you're into photography, the repeating geometric patterns are best captured from below.
