Park Hill British Sign Language Tour – Walk the Streets in the Sky

Park Hill has been a visible landmark on the Sheffield skyline for over 60 years. It is considered of international importance as the first built example of external access decks (known as Streets in the Sky) and was awarded Grade II* listed status in 1998.

There followed a regeneration scheme, twice shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize for architecture in 2013 and 2024, which continues today. It is also culturally prominent, having featured in film, TV, music, artworks and on stage.

Park Hill Residents’ Association and Urban Splash invite you on this special 90 minute British Sign Language (BSL) tour to walk the Streets in the Sky.

You will learn the history of Park Hill, explore the inspirations and people behind its design as well as its architectural concepts and distinctive details. There will also be an opportunity to visit the interior of a flat.

The tour will be led by architect and experienced BSL guide Martin Glover, and accompanied by a resident guide.
