Talk:Brutalism in Sheffield

Regent Court

I have doubts concerning Regent Court's presence in Brutalist apartment blocks in Sheffield. Brutalist architecture is said to have flourished from the 1950s to 1970s and it featuring raw concrete, Regent Court falls fowl of a few key elements. I see no references pertaining to Regent Court (neither are there on Regent Court). Could you shed some lights on your sources [George Griffiths]?

Although the coining of the name doesn't precede the style, the fact that the term brutalist was not coined until 1953 means that we shouldn't use the term to describe a building constructed in 1936 unless a reliable source does so first. All the buildings in this article should really only be included if there are reliable sources that cite them as examples of brutalism, but in the case of Regent Court I agree with CS that it should be removed—it is independently notable anyway, and is covered in its own article.—Jeremy (talk) 01:19, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Oh, OK. I do see your point now. Removed. GeorgeGriffiths (talk) 17:10, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Netherthorpe complex

Just noticed a slight inconsistency about the number of apartments listed. All blocks are listed as having 4 flats per floor (either 48 over 12 floors or 56 over 14 floors) but for Robertshaw and Crawshaw these are listed as being entirely 2-bedroom flats, whereas the other two are composed entirely of 1-bedroom flats. The blocks do not appear noticeably different in ground area so is there a mistake here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.31.202.145 (talk) 17:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Queen Anne Court

Afraid Queen Anne Court is still not the 'absolute highest point in Sheffield' even with an aerial on top!

Here's Herdings on Streetmap: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=437459&Y=383088&A=Y&Z=115 . There is a spot height of 218m right next to QAC. If the tower is 55m high that makes 273m. Pretty damn high admittedly.

Now here's Lodge Moor - still a bona fide residential part of Sheffield: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=429829&Y=386038&A=Y&Z=115 . Three spot heights in excess of 273m can easily be seen - one at 295 - and remember this does not include the heights of any buildings... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.31.202.145 (talk) 17:40, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
