| Title | Hollis Croft/Broad Lane, Sheffield: Historic Building Recording |
| Description | York Archaeology was commissioned by Bricks Group to undertake historic building recording for two properties located at the junction of Hollis Croft and Broad Lane, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, in advance of their demolition. The work was undertaken between February and March 2023. The historic building recording established that no.2 Broad Lane was constructed as a three-storey house that could date to the late 18th or early 19th century, although the latest form was the result of alterations that had occurred by the late 19th and in the 20th century. Parts of the cellar may relate to a building shown on a plan dated 1778, but the overlying structure seems to have been rebuilt after that date. It has served several functions, including as a beer house and a post office, and most recently a ground floor sandwich shop with solicitors’ offices above. Internally, all the fixtures and fittings were modern replacements, although the historic layout of rooms was still largely legible. The Sytner garage and car showroom at no.18 Broad Lane was constructed by 1937 and featured a curving facade wall around the Broad Lane frontage with a parapet extending above the level of the pitched, corrugated roofs. Seven of the bays had wide window openings on the first floor and ground floor, while the western bay was slightly taller with an arched vehicular entrance with a flagpole over. The entire facade had been rendered and painted white in the 1990s when it became part of the Sytner BMW car dealership. It was built for the Hallamshire Tyre and Motor Company Ltd, later trading as Hallamshire Motor Company Ltd, the names formerly being displayed in large letters affixed along the parapet above the ground floor windows. |
