Wonkhe's higher education postcard series has turned its attention to the Arts Tower at the University of Sheffield, using a vintage, unposted postcard as a starting point to explore the building's architectural and historical significance. Written by Hugh Jones, the piece traces the tower's origins to its official opening by the Queen Mother on 23 June 1966, alongside the nearby Hyde Park flats, and situates it within the broader story of British university architecture of that era.

The 19-storey modernist tower originally housed all 18 of the university's arts departments and was, for four decades, the tallest building in Sheffield; Jones describes it as once "the most elegant university tower block in Britain of its period", standing at roughly half the height of Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building in New York. Refurbished between 2009 and 2011 with double glazing and updated plumbing, the tower is also notable for retaining a paternoster lift, a continuous-loop system requiring passengers to step on and off moving platforms, whose name derives from the Latin opening of the Lord's Prayer. Details in the postcard itself, including blue-and-white buses, suggest it dates from the late 1960s to 1974, before Sheffield's buses were repainted coffee and cream following local government reorganisation.
