Line 33:

Many residential buildings were constructed at the turn of the 20th century, which led to the annexing of large parts of the current city. This was followed by a slump, and by 1917 house building had ceased. Construction of the [[Sheffield City Hall|city hall]] started in 1920.

The years following the [[Second World War]] saw one of the most intense periods of building in the city's history, referred to as the [[Slum clearance in the United Kingdom|slum clearance]]s. Slum housing was replaced with a number of large tower blocks, many of which have since been demolished and replaced with housing once more.
