Sheaf Square

Plans include further development of the Sheffield Digital Campus, and an addition to the Transport Interchange on the site of Sheaf House.

Work began in 2006 to simplify the road system and create a primarily pedestrianised space with a water cascade and a steel sculpture, leading people from the station, up Howard Street and into the city centre to the side of the Square.

The gateway to Sheffield city centre situated to the side of Sheaf Square opened on 22 December 2006 with street performances and a fireworks display.

The gateway contains seating, trees, effective lighting and two large water features, one of which includes The Cutting Edge steel sculpture.

[2] The new construction now acts as a 21st-century gateway to the city and aims to give a good first impression of Sheffield to those arriving by train.
