Area summary
S1 covers the heart of Sheffield, including the city centre retail core, the Sheffield Cathedral, the Sheaf Square / Sheffield railway station, Sheffield Hallam University's city campus and parts of Walkley. Park Hill (the Grade II* listed 1960 brutalist housing estate, redeveloped by Urban Splash from 2007 onwards) is one of the most-discussed regeneration schemes in Britain. The Sheffield Cathedral (mostly 15th-century, with Norman foundations) sits on Church Street. Housing is dominated by post-2000 apartment blocks (around West One, the Quayside, Velocity Tower) plus historic stock above ground-floor commercial.
Sheffield station (East Midlands Railway, Northern, TransPennine Express, plus a Supertram interchange) is the principal transport hub. The Sheffield Supertram opened in 1994.
