Facts and practical information

The Herdings Twin Towers are twin towers located on Raeburn Place in the Herdings residential suburb of southern Sheffield, England. Although not the tallest buildings in Sheffield, their location atop a hill makes their rooftops the highest manmade location in the city. By virtue of its rooftop radio antenna, Queen Anne Court is the tenth-tallest building in Sheffield; it was the second-tallest upon completion in 1959, behind only Sheffield Town Hall. ()
