Campaigners fighting to save an Edwardian hospital wing have won an injunction banning its demolition until a possible judicial review is ordered.
Save Britain's Heritage and The Victorian Society want to protect part of Sheffield's former Jessop Hospital.
The University of Sheffield wants to knock it down and build on the site.
A hearing to decide whether to order a review of Sheffield City Council's decision to permit the demolition will be held on Thursday.
Details of the injunction, granted on 17 June, have just been released.
Valerie Bayliss, from the Victorian Society, said: "We continue to hope Sheffield University will consider seriously the options for a more sensitive use of the site that would respect the Grade-II listed building, which is a national asset.
Nick Roscoe of the Save Jessop Hospital Campaign described the injunction as a "positive step".
The University of Sheffield, which owns the site, wants to knock down the wing to build a new 81m engineering department expected to open in 2016.
It was granted permission to demolish the building by the city council last year.

Injunction bans hospital demolition
Workers with Hayden Wrecking Company demolish the old Kmart building in Fairview Heights. The structure was originally built in the 1960's, making it one of the oldest commercial buildings that was still standing in the area near St. Clair Square mall and the other shopping centers which have grown up in the city. The Petco business on the north side of the old Kmart will remain, and is open during the demolition, as is the Office Max business on the south side of the old store. Sports Authority will have a new store built on the Kmart site and relocate from their current location. There will also be a few other tenants when the shopping center work is fully completed. The machinery operator navigates through the growing pile of debris in this photo taken from the Petco parking lot.

The demolition has begin at former Kmart shopping center in Fairview Heights to clear space for a new retail center.
Plans for the new Fairview City Centre to be built near the northwest corner of North Illinois Street and Lincoln Trail include building six new store spaces ranging in size from 13,000 square feet to 45,000 square feet. Both Petco and Office Max would remain as tenants.
For the time being, Office Max remains open at the shopping center, but that space is set for demolition sometime this fall or by the new year. The office supply store will then relocate to a new store to be built next to Petco.
King's Beauty has left the shopping center and moved to Market Plaza, also in Fairview Heights. Sporting goods retailer Sports Authority, which is operating in Fairview Heights Plaza, will relocate to the new shopping center. Remaining spaces are being marketed.
Fairview Heights Economic Development Director Mike Malloy said the city may find out more details from shopping center owner Kimco Realty Corp. later this week.
Last September, Kmart announced that it would not renew its lease at the shopping center and closed its doors in December.
The retail center was one of the oldest in the city. It was built in the late 1960s and pre-dates the St. Clair Square mall. The 113,127-square-foot store that had housed Kmart for the past 14 years initially was built for Venture, a St. Louis-based retail chain that went out of business and left the shopping center in 1998.

HALLSVILLE A towering reminder of this towns history was removed Tuesday, but many longtime residents say the memories will remain.
Traci Morgan, who works at Hallsville Florist, spent the morning at her stores back door, thinking of the times she played on the First Baptist Church playground at the base of the downtown water tower, which was built in 1939.
I know its just a tower, but its history, Morgan said.
Morgan, a life-long Hallsville resident, arrived downtown at 8 a.m., about two hours after the dismantling began, to watch the familiar edifice being dissected by professional cutting torches and removed by crane, piece-by-piece.
I would have liked to have seen it stay there, but it has not been maintained, Morgan said. It has gone too far to be restored.
The Hallsville City Council in February approved the demolition of the downtown landmark to sell the land it sits on to First Baptist Church of Hallsville. The churchs campus surrounds the 35-foot-by-40 foot property.
First Baptist Church agreed to pay $12,700 to remove the water tower from the property.
It is a very small piece of property, but it has value to us in that it is downtown and connects to what we already have, Monty Pierce, associate pastor of education and administration, said in February.
Hallsville ISD spokeswoman Carol Greer arrived early Tuesday to snap photos as the towers lid was slowly lowered like a descending UFO to the ground. She said she remembered playing under the water tower as it overflowed its tank, spilling water on excited children.
Growing up by the only water tower in town was very special as a young child. There are many fond memories playing around the tower, but we always knew it was unlawful to climb it and never did, she said. I was very proud that Hallsville Home of the Bobcats was written on the tower. Its sad to see it go. Its been a part of downtown Hallsville for a long time. It is just part of growing up in Hallsville.

Hallsville tower demolition stirs memories, questions of preservation mind set

The mayor appeared to back away from his previous insistence on demolishing the aging inverted pyramid this summer, possibly before an Aug. 27th referendum on whether to cancel the controversial Lens project.
Permits city officials are seeking for demolition could be complicated if voters opt to scrap the Lens design. The city has applied for a single permit for demolition and construction of a new pier, Foster said.
"Quite candidly, it's helpful to know what you're replacing it with while you're getting your demolition permit," he said.
Foster spoke at a press conference in City Hall surrounded by six members of a new task force that will work to unify city residents if the Lens prevails and develop a process for planning a new pier if voters reject it.
That group, called the 828 Alliance, includes members of the Stop the Lens campaign, Lens supporters and community leaders.
Foster said he stands by his opinion that the current inverted pyramid cannot be salvaged within the city's $50-million budget for a new pier but said the task force is "free to consider" keeping it.
"We're still seeking a permit, but, again, this committee is wide open to making recommendations to me," he said.
City officials must obtain permits from the Southwest Florida Water Management District, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Pinellas County before the City Council gives final approval to demolish The Pier, city development coordinator Chris Ballestra said.

Workers begin the demolition of St James Catholic Church, 2942 S. Wabash Ave., by cutting a large hole in it's roof, on Wednesday June 26, 2013. | Chandler West ~ For Sun-Times Media

Despite a vigorous fight by parishioners, they were forced to watch their beloved 133-year-old St. James Catholic Church in Bronzeville start to be demolished Wednesday.
Instead of a wrecking ball, demolition crews used a firemans ax and sledgehammer to start removing slate from one of the roofs at 11 a.m. By 3 p.m., they had sawed through some of the roof framing and decking below the slate, so that a hole about 5-by-6 feet could be seen. But they appeared to be winding up for the day after that.
A handful of St. James parishioners watching outside the church at 2942 S. Wabash started saying shame on you when the demolition started.
Its sad to see this church go, said Regina Wright, 45, who had grown up in the area and had started going to St. James 34 years ago. She glanced at the church as she spoke. Its been a pillar in this community for so long, and theyve helped so many people through the years. . . . Its heartbreaking.
Last weekend, the parishioners were read a letter from Cardinal Francis George, letting them know that the canonical requirements have been met to take [St. James] down.
George, in the letter, wrote that the future of St. James Parish has been under much discussion since the City of Chicago decided four years ago that the church building that you used for worship is unsafe.
