- We visit Sheffield City Centre for a walking tour around this Yorkshire city that's undergoing lots of changes around The Moor, Charter Square, Cambridge Street and Barkers Pool
Also watch our Sheffield City Centre tour - • SHEFFIELD | A full wal...
In this video our route was from The Moor to Charter Square, round to Cambridge Street and then down to Pinstone Street and Peace Gardens before heading up Cambridge Street to Barkers Pool and the John Lewis building.
The new buildings are coming on nicely and we see the old Chubbys Takeaway and Leahs Yard as well as the new places like The Light Cinema, Furnace Bar and Restaurant on Charter Square and the Citadel building which is still languishing waiting to be updated!
Some of these buildings and streets have been looking tired for some time so to replace them or redevelop them and make them brand new again is a great idea.
Sheffield will really benefit from all these additions and I can't wait to see it when it's finished!
I hope you enjoy this Sheffield tour.

Ignore the doom and gloom posts. Sheffield City centre is looking remarkable and very tidy. The new and higher rise buildings are a great asset and needed in an ever growing population.
I would recommend a Norfolk Park video, incredible views of the city, the park itself was opened by Queen Victoria? And also don't forget Queens Tower, a hidden 19th century castle, former residents include the Duke of Norfolk. Now converted Into housing inside and as a former tenant can say it's a beautiful building.
Development is always needed in all citys but i remember Sheffield in the mid 80s and this look is so alien to me i like to rekmember this place as it was back then all my memories are of that time and it had so much character.
Sheffield has seen it's days, it's ok if you want a pint or something from the cheapy pound shops but the days are long gone when Fridays and Saturdays it would be packed with shoppers going to rag and tag or sheaf markets to do the weekly shop.
People buy online now
Markets drag any city down
@@lindsaymcpupps2615rubbish your just anti small trader
i didnt realize sheffield was being redeveloped last time i was there it was like nothing was there but now its looking much more modern and up to date with the times. im moving to chesterfield in may 2023 so will go to sheffield once im settled in chesterfield. im so glad there is a waitrose in sheffield now its the only place i can get my seeded bread
I think that the John Lewis site should be flattened and turned in to a green square - it would open up great views of City Hall and the beautiful old buildings being redeveloped on Cambridge Street - would be epic in summer for people having picnics.
YES!! Agreed!
I agree i posted that mysrlf..
Build more affordable housing
A LOT different from the Sheffield I left behind in 1995. It was a lot rougher back then. But I loved it back then. Kinda just looks like anywhere else now I guess. But it's lovely to see it so modern & clean.
I lived in Sheffield for 7 years before I moved I love Sheffield ❤ but as gone down hill bit but but I go back evey year to city Hall it will twice this I will be there
Sheffield is more diverse with people of color. Love it
Seconded! ❤️
Def upgraded in Charter Square i like it, all this happened while i was hibernating in Sheffield 6 😀
Thanks for posting this. I must come and take a look for myself soon. The new buildings look great. And yes it's a shame some of the old icons are going. But the dawning of a new city is in your midst. I think it's exciting. And cheers to Chubbys. Such fond memories of walking miles from late night venues to get a cheese burger. They where amazing.
What day / time was this filmed? Where are all the people? I’m a child of the 70s, The Moor was packed in those days. ☹️
I love my Sheffield ❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
Sad to hear that Chubby's has gone. Hope Brenda's Fish and Chip shop is still there. Best cod chips and mushy peas ever!
Having spent my life in Leeds,I haven't ever explored Sheffield..I know like other places it suffered bombing during w w 2 and must have lost a good part of its architectural heritage..someone has done a really fine job in recreating the centre where the modern buildings are pleasing ,also the use of space to enhance the surroundings .. it's more expansive than Leeds,more open,and greener ...I should be proud of it..
Lost many great buildings during the war, but post war planning caused us to lose even more
I haven't seen or been I Sheffield in over 15 years. It looks much better now.
Did you know Sheffield is the only UK city to have the "Made in" lable recognised in Parliament. Every where else has to use "Made in United Kingdom, England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland etc!
I didn’t! Is that from the Steel?
@@SheffieldVideos Initially it was granted for the cutlery industry including penknives. Other companies later started using it and can still use it today. They must submit evidence that their products are actually made in Sheffield, once granted, the label is allowed to be displayed.
Amazing job, your video was amazing and Sheffield is such a beautiful City.
It really is!
I’ve not seen the Centre since Covid (moved away last year as well) I have to say it is coming along really well. The Debenhams building needs to be replaced with a new Central Library for the city, offering hot desks and meeting rooms for good prices. It will boost liveliness of the whole area.
Could be apartments
@@SheffieldVideos It has to be either Debenhams or Cole Brothers. The city deserves a better library. I know folks think I'm a filthy heathen when I say that, as the current building is much loved, but I am also a Librarian with 20 years experience that knows what a modern library can mean to a city.
Interesting, because you have 2 football clubs, a few shops will close down, it happens all over the Country
I live in the South UK
We had BHS & Debenhams closed down
Woolworths went about 10 years ago,
Not many people go into Libraries anymore.
It is a real shame that our local pubs seem to be closing down, but we have more charity shops & coffee shops
It doesn't make any sense.
@@empireman1077 People use libraries that are fit for purpose, in their droves. But across the country the library stock is comparable to Sheffield. Old, dark buildings, lovely architecture, but ill maintained and no longer capable of delivering on the mission of a modern library. They require investment and with the right investment will be crucial to regenerating city centres.
@@DrClumber v true, but in Wiltshire, the council's close them down, or, open 2/3 hours a day if they have any volunteers
I hope they make a garden.. where the John Lewis Building is it will look beautiful if they do.. and the Citadel would look great painted up and used as a Venue..
Yes! The Citadel would make an amazing venue.
What Sheffield needs now is a new multi-story railway station at Bridgehouses with trains from Lincoln, Retford and Worksop to Penistone, Huddersfield, Halifax and Bradford and a stopping service from Chesterfield, Killamarsh and Beighton to Wadsley Bridge, Oughtibridge, Deepcar and Stocksbridge
Just tram trains will do
They have been re-building Sheffield since WW2, it never really stops!
Im now 66...as a 17 yr old chelsea fan i met a swfc girl.....i used to visit sheffield often....this is all new to me but i have great memories of the old bus station and the pub there and the chippy on the first walkway there......
I agree..about the Citadel..
first place in the UK that looks moderately good, might just be the colour correction and good weather in the video that makes it look more pleasing.
Think anywhere/everywhere looks better in the sunshine (and with colour grading!) 👍🏻
I worked in Suggs Sport in the Ladies Dpt in the 1970's my boss was fab..
Sheffield city centre is dead now, it used to be much busier than this.
Its a mess.
Hi Gimbal, another great video from you , thank you for showing me around a city that I used to know. I find it quite sad, it looks like a city that I barely recognize now, not the place I grew up in. Any memories I had are all in my head now, they've taken the physical things away. I do appreciate that things change, but to me it looks like they've redesigned the heart out of it, change for change sake? Your video has done some good for me, showing me that I'd not be bothered going back, even to visit. Sheffield, where for art thou?
Where else would you like to see us film?
Norfolk park
A walk around Kelham Island & Neepsend would be great - it's changing so fast around there.
@@jonnyhaw Agreed - I"ll get on that!
New era square!
Wow so much has changed from the last video's! It's going to be beautiful come time for the holidays 😊
On a side note, everyone in the UK stay safe with the heat coming your way!!!
It’s dismal, so many foul, mega cheap looking building are being cobbled together. Dwarfing the lovely old buildings. especially up around Pinstone St
I think they should upgradecThe Facade of Debs it would look great..
Glad they are doing that on Pinstone St..
I am going to stay there with my dog next week in quays Hotel.
Im quite excited for walk there.
Good job! Very nice video.
Thank you
The way this is shot, it looks really smooth and great quality - do you mind me asking what equipment you use?
Thanks Jonny
Just my phone and a gimbal!
Fantastic as always 👑
Thank you
It looks deathly quiet,i havent been to the city centre for years,i think i could get lost,sad to see,chubbys,henrys bar and the wappentake gone,spent many happy saturday nights at those places in the eighties and nineties.Im a barnsley boy now,i say boy im nearly 60.😂
Sheffield City Council are an absolute disaster from start to finish.
Just got back from my first visit to Sheffield city centre and I have to say it was shit. Very disappointed as lots of shops now closed and also felt unsafe at times even in the daytime.
Hi could you please do a waking tour of then University of Sheffield and surrounding would help new students outs
Sure!
Quiz question, I think there was a small disused sub station and a brick wall either side of it.
All these new buildings are quite classy and are already the new face of Sheffield. But, where are the trees and greenery? Lots of ugly, bare pavements around. How is the Castlegate project going, now that the Government has given the green light to several million pounds to fund IT? Thank you for your great video
The castlegate green route is done
Just waiting for the next stage to be finished
Milton Street Sheffield.
sheffield it's my youth
This vid has encouraged me to go into the City Centre. Don't go very often these days
I have another channel where I film all over the UK (and other countries). I film in lots and lots of towns and cities.
Every single place I film the residents there slate the places, say how bad and dangerous and dirty and run down they are.
I just go anyway and make my own mind up and it's nothing at all like the residents of each place tell me
I'ts great you're going to the city centre to try it - you will find it totally fine!
@@SheffieldVideos yes, we're going on the bus on Weds, might have a couple of wines too 😉
I live Bunting Nook area, so not far from city centre 👍👍👍
My lovely city, i really missed it
👍👍👍👍
The first thing we see is a poundland lol. Thanks.
Which city doesn’t have a Poundland?
Milton Street. And food place s
👍👍👍
Ah the town hall, a lot has been spent on refurbish the registry offices but you can’t get near to drop wedding parties off the bride has to walk yards in the rain or snow.
You can drop right outside the front door
@@SheffieldVideos Thanks for you reply. What planet do you live on? There are ten tons on concrete blocks and barriers stopping us and the town hall says we can not have access, even though the leader of the council said they should be removed. As there was no consultation (that I know of), I believe this is an illegal obstruction of a public highway.
The nearest you can get is Surrey street and you have to turn round because of the new bus gate, august 2022. Pinstone Street hasn’t had traffic up it for a while. We have no end of people who are late for weddings because they can’t park anywhere near it. It’s a shame.
@@joannehowe7513 do you organise weddings?
Thanks meadowhall and Sheffield City Council things have turned to shite since them 2 and the hole in the road vanished.. I remember up til that point you could not walk 2 paces without bumping into somebody.. now you can ride your mountain bike blindfolded and wouldn't hit a flea
The Hole In The Road was a total no-go area towards the end
(and always stunk of urine)
@@SheffieldVideos thank goodness they filled it in and got rid.. it became am eyesore..
Absolutely, what a shit tip it was.
Can't stand people of this city, there so backward
Anything that replaces some God awful shithole is criticised
Meadowhall would obviously have looked better if we after demolishing all the steelworks left the bricks, stones, wood and metal to pile up for the last 30 years
Looks nice and clean but not particularly welcoming. Very little seating as though they want to discourage this.
There’s seating on the moor and charter square and outside all the new buildings going up
Sheff citeh
I live in Sheffield it's a miserable city centre
Maybe it's you
Worse thing they ever did bring back castle market
it looks deserted.
I recommend the hen and chickens public house city centre, full of middle class types students, warning keep away from fat cat working class types talking about Spain, police dogs and deep fat fryers
Charter Square as dead as ever. It will remain a quiet backwater while ever it’s cut in two by Charter Row which should have been taken underneath it.
Or until the other work has been completed behind it on Cambridge Street which will bring a much higher footfall between City Hall and The Moor
And be careful of the scores of homeless and druggies lining the streets in the town centre. Most ppl try avoid town now its so damn rough. But if the Mayor got off his rear end and did something about it, as he could, Sheffield centre would be a better place.
We don't do moaning about the council on this channel
There's plenty of facebook groups full of saddos doing that 🤣
All the history just wiped out, nothing saved these buildings will not last 30 years
Sheffield is ruined and has gone down hill fast shops and markets have all but disappeared trade is almost non existent its like a ghost town they should bring back the hole in the road that was iconic part of sheffield city centre people came from all over to visit sheffield, , if it ain't broke don't fix it .... people lost jobs because businesses went elsewhere....
Like so many British cities, ruined by boring 1960s and 1970s buildings.
Sheffield City centre is terrible full of spice addicts and massive wave of homeless from covid
Where were they in the video?
I live in Sheffield it shocking city centre , Doncaster , Barnsley, Rotherham chesterfield have a better centre ,
Yet ask anyone in those towns and cities what they think and they'd say that Sheffield has a better one
Ha Ha
Sheffield is better
Utterly dead. Hardly any people and nowhere to stop and pass the time of day or look at something interesting with the other people who aren't there. No fun being had, thank goodness.
I'm sorry Charter Square looks like a Ladybird book city of the future. What in Gods name were they thinking? Big glass and concrete boxes with a few weeds thrown in. Where's the character?
What would you have preferred Rosie?
