Park Hill
The vast streets-in-the-sky housing estate above the station — Europe's largest listed building.
Completed in 1961, Park Hill is the best-known piece of post-war architecture in Britain outside London: a concrete frame stepping along the hillside with wide deck access 'streets in the sky' and brightly coloured infill panels from its ongoing restoration.
It is Grade II* listed and still largely residential, so this is an outside visit — but the walk up from the station and the view back over the city are worth it, and there are cafes and galleries in the restored blocks.
Highlights
- Grade II* listed
- Streets in the sky
