Experience the Architecture of Flockton Walk 2 (11-09-22 13:00)

We would love if you could join us on our second guided walk to discover some more of the buildings designed by the Flockton group of architects. The walk starts at the Dog and Partridge on Trippet Lane, and ends at the Riverside, Kelham Island.

Flockton were a series of architectural practices that were based in Sheffield in the 19th and 20th centuries. The firms were responsible for a number of significant buildings in the Sheffield area, many of which are still in use and some subject to recent refurbishment/alteration. In 2015, Sheffield Society of Architects (SSA), a branch of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), purchased an archive of Flockton drawings and, following archival work, have put together walking tours which take in key buildings by Flockton across the city.

This walk is the second in our series, and begins in the centre of town, and follows a route through the city centre and the Wicker, concluding at the Riverside pub - where no doubt several of us will require a refreshing drink. The walk takes around 2-2.5 hours, and whilst not particularly strenuous we would recommend good shoes and an umbrella!
