- Adelphi Hotel (Sheffield)
The Adelphi Hotel was an hotel based in the city centre of Sheffield, England. It was notable for the founding of three major sports teams; Yorkshire County Cricket Club (1863), Sheffield Wednesday (1867) and Sheffield United (1887).[cite book|first=Percy|last=Young|title=Football in Sheffield|year=1964|publisher=Stanley Paul & Co Ltd] The Sheffield Football Association was also formed at the hotel.][cite book|first=Adrian|last=Harvey|title=Football, the First Hundred Years|year=2005|publisher=Routledge|isbn=0415350190|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=TxoZ0S-GC7MC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Football,+the+First+Hundred+Years&sig=zXwMJCXCG3A06tTxi8-gapAd8eo] ]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.
