Rampant façadism

Sheffield has some fine old buildings from its industrial past. In an attempt to prevent them being knocked down, but without stifling development, the council seems to be allowing a lot of new buildings to be 'hidden' behind the façade of the old one. This is Walter Trickett's Anglo Works, once a cutlers and silversmith, now with a massive great apartment block glued on the back. Meanwhile the façade of Morton's Cutlers is on the opposite side of the apartment building.
