Adelphi Hotel, Sheffield
The Adelphi Hotel was a hotel in the centre of the city of Sheffield, England.
It was connected with the founding of three major sports teams: Yorkshire County Cricket Club (1863), Sheffield Wednesday (1867) and Sheffield United (1889). The Sheffield Football Association was also formed at the hotel.
In 1854 a public meeting was held at the hotel where it was announced that a cricket ground would be built on Bramall Lane. This ground was later used to host Sheffield Wednesday matches and eventually became the permanent home of Sheffield United.
The hotel was demolished in 1969 to make way for the Crucible Theatre.

Crucible Theatre
The Crucible Theatre, or simply The Crucible, is a theatre in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, which opened in 1971. Its name refers to crucible steel, which was developed in Sheffield in 1740 and drove the industrialisation of the city.
In addition to regular theatrical performances, the theatre also serves as a sports venue, having hosted the World Snooker Championship annually since 1977. The Guardian newspaper has called the Crucible the "spiritual home of snooker". The World Women's Snooker Championship and the World Seniors Championship have also been staged at the venue.
In May 2022, proposed plans were unveiled to build a new 3,000-seat venue nearby with a bridge connecting the two buildings.
