Hallam Tower Hotel, Sheffield. Feb '12.

[yorkietommo]

Visited with Royalbob and a non member.

Opened in 1965 ready for Sheffield to host group matches in the 1966 World Cup and in time for the Swiss team to be based there. It later became the Forte Posthouse and then a Holiday Inn.
Died in '04, but still hasn't been put to rest.

This place has had some serious hammer and is trashed to bits. Still some nice little touches to be seen - particularly all the art. Some spectacular views from the roof too!
