Following our Tea & Street Art post we thought we’d show you some of the street art you can find around Sheffield, so you get the picture 🙂
These are just a handful of the hundreds of superb pieces adorning the Sheffield landscape, from just a few of the many amazing artists out there. Sorry if we’ve not featured your work – it’s not personal. Give us a shout and we will!
A couple of the snaps are old, so the art isn’t around anymore, some snaps are new, some snaps are borrowed, courtesy of the wonderful Street Art Sheffield website. There’s even a blue one. Colour. Not, like, porn.
Enjoy.

- This has been there as long as Marc’s been alive. Bang in the centre of town, things have changed since this was created!
-
- Kid Acne Unemployed Gods at Parkhill Flats – the original “Streets in the Sky” and protected by their listed status. Parkill is generally disliked as a blight on the skyline but is being redeveloped in a gentrification process currently.

-
- More Phlegm adorning the glass doors onto a balcony at the Millennium Gallery
-
- This Phlegm piece is round the back of the now closed Rare & Racy shop. The best book & record store ever.
