The Moor is approximately 0.3 mi (0.5 km) in length and is located in the southern part of Sheffield City Centre.

Along its length lie some of the most popular British and international high street names leading it to become the main focal point for retail in the city centre in recent years.

In July 2011, SWIP submitted a planning application for a 55,000 sq ft retail block at the north end of the street, which will feature a large digital screen and space for two shops and a department store.

After years of planning and construction the new flagship Primark store opened on The Moor in October 2016 as part of Phase Two of the regeneration.

The second part of phase one includes The Light cinema and a variety of restaurants, in March 2017 it was announced that the new complex would open on 14 April the same year.
