Resembling a sort of biosphere or space station, the Sheffield Town Hall extension was certainly a futuristic building on a number of levels. Its molded window detail that wrapped around the entire building was stylistically at odds to the Victorian Town Hall it adjoined.
The interior space that these pods created can be seen in the 80s shock drama Threads, where notification of nuclear war is received in one of the offices overlooking the Peace Gardens. I imagine that had the film's predictions been played out, that this may have been the only building in Sheffield left standing.
