First of all big thanks to converse1 for the knowledge. Visited with KR98 so expect to see her efforts in 6 months or so.. Place is well trashed but holds some nice surprises, mainly THOSE stairs.

Borrowed History -
Sheffield's Head Post Office operated in the square for almost ninety years. Built in 1910 as an addition to the 1897 post office building on Flat Street, it closed in 1999, with the main post office moving to new premises within the Co-op store on Angel Street. The Grade II listed Post Office building was up for sale for a considerable time before finally being sold for development in early 2006.

Pics (look mum NO HDR!)
