Shirle Hill is a mansion and former health facility on Cherry Tree Road, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.
The house was completed in 1809.[1] It became the home of Sir John Brown, the industrialist, from around 1853 and Brown entertained Lord Palmerston there in 1862.[2] From 1865 it was occupied by William Bragge, Managing Director of John Brown & Company, who commissioned a large additional wing, designed by Frith Brothers and Jenkinson in the Italianate style, for the house.[1] During the First World War, it was known as St Vincent's and served as a home for Belgian refugees.[3] It later became a school and mental health facility for children with special needs[4] before being converted for residential use in 2012.[5]
