Along lanes that cross the River Don, it's these buildings that give the area its distinct charm, except now they house everything from indie shopping arcades and food halls to microbreweries and galleries, while striking street art intersperses the spaces in-between.

About Sheffield

Sheffield is a hilly South Yorkshire city that grew on steel and cutlery, with parkland and the edge of the Peak District reaching its western suburbs.

Sheffield spreads across hills where five rivers meet, and its name was made by steel and cutlery. That industrial past fills the Kelham Island museum, the old works along the Don, and the Cutlers' Hall. The centre has been reshaped around the Winter Garden, a large glasshouse of tropical plants, the Millennium Gallery, and the Peace Gardens, whose fountains play in front of the Victorian Gothic town hall.
