Sheffield’s historic Upper Chapel complex sits in a quiet location in the city centre. It comprises two large, Grade II listed buildings. The grand galleried Unitarian Chapel is approached through a landscaped graveyard. Whilst the seemingly unrelated Italianate building housing Channing Hall faces onto a different street. Joining the backs of these two buildings is the Hollis Building. This houses the congregation’s social spaces and the back-of-house facilities to the listed building. This building had become run down but the refurbishment and extension have created a legible plan which links the whole complex together.
