More about this scene
Some important public buildings also appeared outside the central area. These included the workhouses for Ecclesall Union (in Nether Edge) and for Sheffield Union (at Fir Vale), eventually to become Nether Edge Hospital and the Northern General Hospital respectively. School buildings also made their appearance to the west of the central area: the Collegiate School on Ecclesall Road, built in a number of stages between 1835 and 1911, and the Wesley College (now King Edward VII School) on Glossop Road built between 1837 and 1840 by the Sheffield architect William Flockton. Perhaps most beautiful of all these buildings is the Mappin Art Gallery, built in 1885-87 to a design by Flockton and Gibbs from money left in his will by a wealthy brewer, John Newton Mappin. Mappin also left 150 pictures for the gallery.
