The third coolest car park in the world


Known by the locals as either the Cheese Grater or simply the Borg (Star Trek, anyone? If you know you know), the Charles Street Carpark in Sheffield, just opposite the train station, is a pretty stylish building. So much so that it was voted the third coolest carpark in the world. The photos I took of it last Friday are raw: nary a filter or an app. was used on either of them. And here's the thing - it will look different every time it's photographed; always cool, but different. If you ever find yourself in S1 I strongly recommend you seek it out.
