Sheffield (2)

Here are four pictures from yesterday's visit to Sheffield. The primary reason for travelling to Sheffield was to view the student accommodation for one of my cousins; most pictures I took were of the accommodation.

This is Sheffield Hallam University, as viewed from the entrance to Sheffield's train station. The other university in the city is the University of Sheffield.

This is a Tesco Extra; Tesco is the largest retailer in the United Kingdom. Prior to visiting Sheffield, I had never been inside a Tesco Extra before; Tesco Extras are massive - way larger than the regular superstores. The above store also had a built-in parking garage and the shopping area was above it.

This is a bricked back street near the centre of Sheffield. I took this in the evening when we were walking to a pub for our dinner.

This is a street that is located in the centre of the city. Like the centres of other British cities, there is an abundance of commerce in the middle of Sheffield.

I think my cousin is going to have a great time in Sheffield during their stay at university. They have decent accommodation, are attending a respected educational institution and have easy access to local amenities.
