Sheffield - S10 (Western Bank)
When descending the Brook Hill dual-carriageway section of the A57 in a city-bound direction it is almost impossible not to be struck by the differing ages and architectural styles of the two wings of the Dainton Building. The older wing is named after Sir Frederick Dainton (1914-97), the Sheffield-born academic chemist and former Chancellor of the University of Sheffield and the newer east wing, after Sir Richard Roberts (born Derby, 1943), a biochemist and molecular biologist who was awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Phillip Allen Sharp. Note the damage to the paintwork and railings caused by the traffic-related chemical deposits in the atmosphere arising on this normally busy stretch of road; a somewhat poignant chemical reminder outside these buildings.
