Demolished

This lists buildings and structures in the Sheffield City Region that were at least 50 metres tall and have since been demolished or dismantled.
An equals sign following a rank indicates the same height between two or more buildings.

Rank	Name	Image	Height m	Floors	Year Built	Year Demolished	Primary Use	Location	Notes
1=	Tinsley Cooling Towers A & B			—	1938	2008	Industrial	Rotherham	Twin cooling towers of the former Blackburn Meadows Power Station that remained standing for 27 years after it was decommissioned in 1980, due to the difficulty in demolishing them with their proximity to the M1 motorway's Tinsley Viaduct. During this time they became an iconic symbol of Sheffield, and there was a campaign to save them and turn them into a giant art installation. However, they were ultimately demolished via controlled explosion on 27 August 2008.
3	Bernard Road Incinerator			—	1938	2002	Industrial	East End	The chimney of the original city incinerator, which was demolished and subsequently replaced by the Sheffield Energy Recovery Facility on the same site.
4	The Wheel of Sheffield			—	2009	2010	Tourism	Sheffield City Centre	Temporary observation wheel that was erected on Fargate in Sheffield city centre during the summer of 2009. Never intended to be a permanent installation, however its success saw its length of stay increased into the winter of 2010 before it was finally dismantled. Following the success of this initiative, smaller temporary ferris wheels are now erected at the same location during Sheffield's Christmas markets every winter.
5	Hyde Park Flats Block B			19	1965	1993	Residential	East End	Monolithic streets in the sky residential block, the largest of its kind ever to be constructed in Sheffield. Following a period of decline for the entire Hyde Park estate, the smaller two blocks were refurbished in the late 1980s to provide accommodation for the 1991 Summer Universiade held in Sheffield while the much larger Block B was demolished in 1993 as refurbishment was deemed economically unviable.
