Description

Park Hill Sheffield is a photographic study of a modernist social-housing scheme in ruins. Completed in 1961, the building was designed to provide affordable flats for rent during a period of near full employment in Sheffield. Today, it stands as a testament to the transformation of the national housing scene.

The book features photographs by Keith Collie, capturing the cliff-like grandeur and formal beauty of Park Hill's concrete frame. David Levitt provides background information on the current renovation project, while Jeremy Till's essay places the Park Hill story within the wider context of architecture and the welfare state.
