Sheffield, England

a great view of the Town Hall and Peace Gardens in Sheffield, from my Spanish postcard fairy ^_^

Sheffield's superb Town Hall is a Grade 1 listed building which was opened by Queen Victoria in 1897. Its 64 m. high tower is topped with a bronze figure of Vulcan, God of Fire. In front are the Peace Gardens which complement perfectly the old building, whilst also providing a striking and contemporary focal point to the city centre.

the sender of the card was writing it while having the same view in front of him...the only difference - the grass was actually crowded, it wasn't just the few people you can actually see here on the card :)

one of those inevitable people on stamps....though this is a nice one, unlike those usual definitives. Issued in 2013 in a set of 6 stamps, commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
Is it just my impression or the sender has overpaid here? Well, pardon my ignorance, but I have no idea what the current rate is....but this just seems kinda way too much for a postcard....

well either way big hug to the sender :)

Sheffield, England

I love the bright tone of this postcard

It shows the Edgar Allen Building, at the University of Sheffield in South Yorkshire - England

The University of Sheffield's magnificent turreted Edgar Allen Building, viewed from Weston Park. Designed by the architect Mitchell Gibbs, it was opened by the Prince of Wales (later King George v) in 1909. The cost was some £10,000, generously paid for by the local steelmaker Edgar Allen.

heh, and i actually initially thought it may be somehow related to Edgar Allan Poe....
