  • Queen Ann Court is a tower block in Herdings area of Sheffield, England. It is 13 storeys tall, built in 1959, and was originally one of a group of 3, called Morland, Leighton and Raeburn, of which Raeburn has since being demolished in 1995/6.

They were all one bedroomed flats. It sits on top of a ridge on the southern edge of the city and is visible from miles around. It was reclad in 1998 with modern rainscreen cladding, and fitted with new windows. This was to deal with damp and heat loss due to cold bridging, as the concrete floors were exposed, and external walls were un-insulated. The work was carried out by local contractor Henry Boot. When refurbished, the 2 remaining blocks were renamed. This tower has a green strip up each side the other now call Queen Elizabeth Court has a blue strip. They sit at the end of the Gleadless (Herdings) spur of the Sheffield Supertram route.
