Cornhill

From UK Housing Wiki

Cornhill is a 14 storey Tower block built in 1962 located in the Netherthorpe district of Sheffield, England. it contains 48 single bedroomed flats. It is one of a group of 4 blocks located on a hillside below the University of Sheffield campus, which is dominated by the Arts Tower. The other blockss are Adamfield, Crowshaw, and Robertshaw.

The blocks were refurbished in 1994/5 by fitting external insulation and overcladding with modern rainscreen system cladding, and internally refitted, with new kitchens. The old balconies were closed off and the space used to enlarge the living rooms. This work was carried out by local contractors Henry Boot.
