Carbrook Hall

Carbrook Hall is a Grade II* listed stone building in Sheffield featuring a surviving wing from the 1620s. The structure retains original plaster mouldings and wood panelling characteristic of its construction period.

The building dates to the early 1600s and became a strategic meeting point for Parliamentarian forces during England's Civil War. Most of the original structure was demolished in the 1800s, though one wing survives today.

The name derives from the River Carr that once ran nearby. Visitors can observe how the space blends old architectural details with everyday contemporary use.

The site now operates as a Starbucks with drive-through service while maintaining its protected architectural features. Visitors can view the exterior and examine the listed building details from street level.

Despite extensive demolition in the 1800s, the remaining stone wing retained its Grade II* status because of its architectural merit. The pairing of historical heritage with a working coffeehouse creates an unusual example of how listed buildings adapt to contemporary urban life.
