Sheffield Royal Infirmary, Former hospital and Grade II* listed building in Upperthorpe, Sheffield, England.
The Sheffield Royal Infirmary features a main entrance adorned with statues of Hope and Charity sculpted by Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey.
Opening in 1792 as Sheffield General Infirmary, the hospital received its royal designation in 1897 and operated until closure in 1980.
The original hospital block, designed by John Rawsthorne, demonstrates late 18th-century medical architecture with its symmetrical wings and classical elements.
After serving patients for nearly two centuries, the building now functions as Heritage House, containing offices for various organizations.
The octagonal outpatients department, added in 1884, incorporated a distinctive cupola and wrought iron lattice girders in its construction.
