Sheffield points of interest: questions and answers
Based on OpenStreetMap (Nominatim search) (OpenStreetMap contributors, live map data) and one other source. Checked .
Points of Interest is one of the five sections of Sheffield's knowledge test. You get 10 questions and need at least 80% (8 out of 10). The Council says every question in this section shows a picture of the place and asks which road it is on, or which road its main entrance is on.
We cannot show the Council's pictures, so our questions name the place instead. The Council does not publish its list of places, so we chose places passengers often ask for. Every answer was checked on OpenStreetMap. Learn what else is close to each place too: the real test may show a building you know but by its look, not its name.
41 questions in 4 sets. Answer one set at a time and you'll see the right answer straight away. Every question and answer is also listed below and in a free PDF.

Questions people ask
Are these the places in the real test?
We do not know. The Council's examples are a hospital, the main entrance of a building, and the square in front of the Crucible (Tudor Square). Learn the main places across the whole city, not only these.
Why do some answers say 'according to its map entry'?
Some buildings have entrances on more than one street. Where that is true we give the road OpenStreetMap uses for the building. Check the main entrance on a map or in person.
