Line 1:

'''Buildings and structures in Sheffield''' have been constructed over a time-span ranging from the 13th century to the present day. However, the majority of [[Sheffield]]'s older buildings were built during the [[Industrial Revolution]]. Many of Sheffield's medieval buildings were demolished in the 19th century, and some older buildings were also lost during the [[Sheffield Blitz]]. Sheffield has only five Grade I [[listed buildings]], two of which are in the city centre.

The oldest structure is [[Beauchief Abbey]] which is now a [[ruin]] and dates back to the 12th century. The oldest complete structure is [[Sheffield Cathedral]], parts of which date back to the 13th century. The 78 metre [[Arts Tower]] is currentlywas the tallest completed building in the city, tilluntil the St Pauls tower (City Lofts) project iswas finished at the start of 2011.
