Sheffield United Kingdom

"Sheffield is a city and metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire, England. With some of its southern suburbs annexed from Derbyshire, the city has grown from its largely industrial roots to encompass a wider economic base. Sheffield city centre has undergone a programme of regeneration in the past twenty years or so, and has plenty to offer for the visitor. Home to the largest theatre complex in the country outside of the capital, there is lots to be seen of the city's cultural achievements. Some the most important places to visit are: • Millennium Galleries. The Craft and Design Gallery shows the work of past and present craftsmen and designers. The Metalwork Gallery showcases Sheffield's metal industries. • Winter Garden. A glass and timber temperate conservatory in the city centre, home to exotic ferns, trees, cacti and other plants from around the world. A coffee bar makes it a nice place to sit, particularly if the weather outside is not so nice. • Peace Gardens. Located next to the Town Hall in the centre of the city and near the Winter Garden. The rising and falling fountains and grassed areas make this small piece of open space a popular place in summer. • Bank Street Arts. Located on Bank Street, housing some of the best new art, writing and culture from across the region and throughout the UK. • The Norfolk Heritage Trail. A signed route linking a range of historical buildings and open spaces with connections to the Dukes of Norfolk. "
