The building is Sheffield Town Hall the working offices of the City Council looks better from the front has a beautiful stair case inside and it also has the Registry office inside which is a great wedding venue some great rooms inside.

Nicely captured.  I love buildings with tall chimney stack (yes I know I'm odd).  We have a similar styled building in Preston overlooking one of the parks, originally a hotel  and subsequently all sorts, that is about to be renovated back to its hotel status.  It lost its chimneys somewhere along the way.  I was pleased to see that the  published renovation plans show the original tall chimneys being re-instated.
