The Gold RouteSheffield’s ‘Gold Route’ is a series of spectacular spaces

and streets, centred on the Heart of the City project, which

has come to symbolise the city’s economic and cultural

renaissance. It is a network that takes a visitor arriving at

the station to the University of Sheffield Campus. These

include Sheaf Square, Howard Street, Hallam Gardens and

Hallam Square, the Millennium Galleries, Winter Garden,

Millennium Square and then on through the Peace Gardens

to Barkers Pool and the proposed new retail quarter.

Each space in the Gold Route has its own distinctive character

and elements such as water features, lighting, and public art;

but all the spaces belong to a family with common themes and

materials – flowing water, highly crafted metal and Pennine

sandstone, the fundamentals of Sheffield’s history and character

planned in the City Centre Masterplan.

This important axis links the two universities and was first

identified in the 1994 City Centre Strategy. Much new

development is taking place along its length and where it

crosses Sheffield’s main shopping spine defines the ‘Heart of

the City’.

1. Sheaf Square

Sheaf Square is the station gateway to Sheffield, and is set in

the Sheaf Valley, close to the Cultural Industries Quarter, the new

Digital Campus, Sheffield Bus Interchange and Sheffield Hallam

University.

Following a decision to invest £13 million in the refurbishment of

the railway station, Sheffield City Council and Sheffield One

appointed EDAW consultants and the Council’s Regeneration

Projects Design Team (RPDT) to carry out a masterplan for

development and public realm in the area surrounding the

station, known as Sheaf Square, then dominated by a large

traffic roundabout on the Inner Relief Road. The aim was to

reconnect the station to the City Centre, make an impressive

gateway space for visitors and ensure a clear and unobstructed

pedestrian route.

The Master Plan sets out an ambitious design that required the

acquisition and demolition of several buildings, paving the way

for a ‘World Class’ gateway to the city and creating four new

development sites for which proposals have been put forward.

Detailed design work was carried out by the City Council’s in-

house Landscaping and Engineering design team and extended

to include the pedestrianisation of Howard Street which would

provide a clear and attractive route to the Heart of the City via

Sheffield Hallam University and the Cultural Industries Quarter.

Si Applied and Keiko Mukaide designed and collaborated in the

development of the Cutting Edge’ sculpture, an 81 metre long

blade of polished stainless steel and art glass.

Jeremy Asquith assisted in the re-design of the Heart of the City

street furniture so that it could be fabricated in stainless steel

instead of the original cast bronze created by his father Brian

Asquith.

The Design Team also included lighting consultants Sutton Vane

Associates, who designed the Station façade lighting and

amenity lighting in the Square together with feature lighting on

the Cutting Edge sculpture and Howard Street Rill. Many of the

luminaires in the water features and street furniture incorporate

low energy / long lifespan light emitting diodes, which also have

the added safety benefits of running on low voltages.

All of the new pavements and walling are crafted in natural

stone, the most common is the Crosland Hill Yorkstone used in

highway paving and throughout the whole cascade water

feature, designed by RPDT. Each of the 426 cascades run over

carved weir stones that have been hand finished by Yorkshire

Craftsmen from Johnsons Wellfield quarries of Huddersfield,

each carefully bedded and levelled by Vetter UK stonemasons

to maintain water flow symmetry.

The Cutting Edge sculpture, weighing approximately 80 tonnes

is one of the largest stainless steel sculptures in the UK and was

fabricated by Jordan Engineering using Sheffield steel. Water is

pumped from a large plant room under the main water feature to

the crest of the sculpture from where it flows over a very

accurately levelled weir and down the polished face of the

sculpture. As well as creating an attractive shimmering effect the

filtered and sterilised water has the added advantage of keeping

one face of the sculpture clean and graffiti free. The sculpture is

cantilevered over a dished channel that collects the feature

water and reflects light from dozens of blue LED lights set into

the underside of the sculpture. The channel runs into a shallow

pool at the ‘sharp’ end of Cutting Edge simulating the

quenching of a hot steel blade.

2. Howard Street and Hallam Gardens

The Howard Street project provides a vastly improved traffic-free

route to the city centre by re-arranging the university service

access and pedestrianising Howard Street including the

acquisition of land for a new public garden at Sheffield Hallam

University’s entrance on Hallam Square.

The university, as partners in the Project, reconstructed their

main entrance at the top of Howard Street and incorporated a

new bookshop on land between Howard Street and Arundel

Gate to create a terraced amphitheatre and focal point for the

campus. A large development site was also created on Howard

Street as shown on the route map.

Regeneration Projects Design Team developed the design for a

simple terraced garden closing the top of Surrey Lane, which

has now become a service road to the University’s main delivery

area. The garden consists of 6 terraced lawns enclosed by a

stainless steel railing based on a crucible tong profile and

edged by a curved and ramped stone sitting wall containing a

small water feature.

Water runs from a low fountain at the ‘source’ though a mosaic-

lined channel to a concave sink at the bottom of the garden. The

feature represents the teeming of molten metal and is side lit by

an innovative fibre optic ‘lightbar’, which in turn is powered by

eight projectors set in ventilated pits beneath the pavement. It

was designed and constructed by Mosaic Workshop.

Closing Howard Street to traffic has allowed the designers to

create a tree-lined avenue with 12 illuminated stainless steel and

granite seats for weary pedestrians climbing the hill. The busHallam Gardens Rill Source

gate at the bottom of the hill is lined with new stainless steel

bollards, each fitted with two high intensity light emitting diodes

to highlight the route from the Station at night.

Water for the rill feature is filtered and sanitised in a small plant

room that has been built into a raised shrub bed on the opposite

side of Howard Street. The plant room also supplies irrigation

water for the lawns, trees and shrub beds.

New paving consists of shot sawn Yorkshire sandstone, and

blue/grey granite cubes and flags from Fujian Province, China.

The granite flags are flame texture to improve grip in the wet and

are laid on a rigid concrete basecourse using the latest bonding

materials and techniques to eliminate expansion joints.

Semi-mature fastigiate hornbeam trees are planted and

anchored in large pits that extend beneath the paving using a

special topsoil mix that can be fully compacted to support

paving without affecting root growth. Custom designed ductile

iron tree grilles are fitted with adjustable uplighters to illuminate

the trees at night.

The stainless steel discs in the centre of each seat are a

temporary measure pending the sponsorship and production of

a set of artist designed plaques.

Hallam Square: Until 2000 an intrusive dual carriageway,

Arundel Gate, severed Hallam University campus from the civic

Heart of the City. The downsizing of Arundel Gate,

reestablishment of a surface pedestrian crossing and the

creation of boulevard planting allowed the formation of Hallam

Square. The project was funded by the Millennium Lottery Fund

and Hallam University.

3. Millennium Galleries and Winter Garden

The Millennium Galleries and Sheffield Winter Garden open on

to the Millennium Square, Tudor Square and Arundel Gate, and

so form a valuable link in the Gold Route from Howard Street on

up to the Peace Gardens.

Both the Millennium Galleries and Sheffield Winter Garden were

designed by Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects, with the

Galleries opening in April 2001 and the Winter Garden opening

later in May 2003.

The Millennium Galleries is a modern, light and spacious

building made mainly of glass and white concrete, with marble

floors and high ceilings. The gallery breaks with the traditional

institutional image of an art gallery and the Millennium Galleries

create an outstanding venue for the visual arts, craft and

design, right in the heart of Sheffield.

With four individual galleries under one roof, there is free access

to a permanent metal craft and the Ruskin collections, and paid

access to other visiting collections and exhibitions. Built on two

levels to make best use of the sloping site, the Galleries has an

internal ‘avenue’ which leads from the entrance on Arundel Gate

to the Winter Garden, and off which the four galleries are

located. The information centre and shop are also located in the

internal avenue.

A Learning Centre hosts a programme of public activities

including talks and practical workshops. There are also

activities designed especially for schools, colleges and other

community groups.

The Winter Garden is 70 metres long, 22 metres wide and is

constructed from wooden arches that are nearly 21 metres high.

The arches are made from Larch, a durable timber which will,

over time, turn a light silvery grey colour. The larch, derived from

sustainable forests, requires no preservatives or coatings. This

reduces the use of solvents and also avoids the use of

chemicals that could kill the plants. It is one of the largest Glue

Laminate or ‘Glulam’ buildings in the UK (Glulam is made by

forming and gluing strips of timber into specific shapes).

More than 2,100 square metres of glass, 900 cubic metres of

concrete and 80 tonnes of steel have been used together with

400 tons of topsoil to fill the plant beds.

The building has an intelligent Building Management System that

controls fans and vents to make sure the plants are cooled in

summer and kept warm in winter. The system will ‘learn’ year-on-

year and has background frost protection to a minimum of 4

degrees Celsius.

4. Millennium Square

The space, directly links the two established and hugely popular

green spaces of the Peace Gardens and Winter Garden and

affords a magnificent view of the latter building. It also provides

the setting for the first completed private investments in the

Heart of the City – the St Pauls Mercure Hotel, No 1 and No 2 St

Pauls Place, a multi storey car park, the 32 storey residential St

Pauls tower and a further planned office block.

Millennium Square was designed by architects Allies and

Morrison. The same practice has also designed one of the

buildings adjoining the space, an office with ground floor cafes

called No 1 St Pauls Place. The other buildings around the

Square (actually more of a triangle in shape) are the Novotel, the

Winter Garden and the St Pauls Mecure Hotel.

Millennium Square is built on a suspended concrete slab, over a

large car park and servicing area, which belongs to the

occupiers of No 1. This has greatly added to the challenges

facing the technical designers of the nine separate water

features that sit in the space in respect of water supply,

drainage and waterproofing. The space is paved in a

combination of granite and sandstone paving, the surface of

which is set with hundreds of LED lights, imparting a sparkling

effect at night.

The water feature was the subject of a design competition

organised by the City Council in 2003. The winner was the artist

Colin Rose, who proposed a composition of nine stainless steel

spheres, of varying diameters from 300 mm to 2000 mm, each

standing in a shallow stone-edged pool of gently rippling water.

The spheres are animated by a constant thin film of water that

flows from an outlet in the top and drains over a weir into a

closed pumped system.

The title of the piece is ‘Rain’ and is intended to evoke the

moment when a drop of water, having precipitated from a cloud,

falls to earth. The stone edges therefore suggest a ripple effect

Trachycarpus

in the surface of the square. The intention is to subtly introduce

the themes of steel, craftsmanship, Pennine stone and water, but

in this case in a more reflective way, and with a reference to

Pennine weather as well!

From a practical point of view, the constant flow of water

ensures that the spheres should remain free of graffiti whilst

being attractive to touch and helping animate the space both

night and day.

Public reaction to the spheres since their opening in March 2006

has been almost entirely positive, and attracts a steady stream

of photographers.

Critical to the impact of the piece was the accuracy and

precision of the spheres and the surface finish. The water

supply to the spheres is regulated from a central control room in

the underground servicing area, as is the lighting, which can be

changed to provide any colour combination or sequence for

special effects. As with all the fountains in Sheffield City Centre

these will be maintained by the City Centre Management Team,

who provide technical maintenance, cleaning and security in the

square.

5. Peace Gardens

Originally a graveyard for the now demolished St Pauls Church,

the Gardens were completely rebuilt in 1998 as part of

Sheffield’s celebration of the second Millennium in accordance

with public request and to a design by the Council’s Landscape

Architects. The plantings reflect a contemporary interpretation of

the English Garden style, and the borders contain a rich

collection of perennials giving changing displays throughout the

year.

The walls in the Gardens are constructed from gritstone from the

Stoke Hall Quarry in Derbyshire which also supplied stone for

the Town Hall. The paving stones are sandstone from the

Rockingstone Quarry, West Yorkshire and granite setts from

Portugal.

Fragments of the old Churchyard walls have been retained

along Cheyney Row and at either end of St Paul’s Parade.

The Gardens contain a number of monuments reflecting aspects

of the city’s history:

The Goodwin Fountain: the central fountain, with its 89

individual jets, is dedicated to the philanthropists Sir Stuart and

Lady Goodwin. Sir Stuart was the founder of the major steel and

tool making firm Neepsend Ltd. and a man of considerable

wealth. The pump room is hidden underground and accessed

from a door in the first cascade. Tracey Heyes designed the

pavement of coloured stonework, from which the fountain

emerges, surrounded by the Goodwin inscription which was

carved by Ieuan Rhys.

The Standard Measures: were displayed in a public place

so that commercial disputes about short measure could be

settled conclusively. This set, originally in St Paul’s Parade,

were not the first in Sheffield by any means but were

presented to the City by the Earl Fitzwilliam on the

occasion of a scientific conference in Sheffield in 1895.

The Cascades: replaced an earlier fountain in the entrance

to the Town Hall Extension also named after Samuel

Holberry. The stone plinths with references to the fish and

plant life of Sheffield’s eight main rivers were carved by

Nottingham sculptor Richard Perry in collaboration with the

Cambridge Carving Workshop. Eight Bronze Water Vessels

which represent the pouring of both water and molten

metal, were designed by Derbyshire metal artist Brian

Asquith.

The ceramic weirs and rills by Sheffield sculptor Tracey

Heyes are inspired both by the flora of Sheffield’s rivers

and streams and by the many remains of water powered

factories to be found all over the city. The Holberry

commemorative plaque was carved by Iuean Rhys. The

wooden benches were designed and carved by Derbyshire

furniture maker Andrew Skelton, who also designed and

fabricated the cascade plant room door.

Safety and Security: One of the keys to the success of the

Peace Gardens was the provision of day and night

attendance by City Centre Management Team staff. These

ambassadors have ensured the artwork remains free of

vandalism and provide help and re-assurance to the throng

of people pausing or passing through the space every day.

6. Tudor Square

Tudor Square was created in 1990 from a city centre car park

and, while relatively successful as a public space, has under-

performed as the focal area for Sheffield’s key cultural

attractions.

The ‘Tudor Square Cultural Core’ is one of the key projects in the

City Centre Masterplan, 2009. This project focuses on the

creation of a stronger cultural heart to the city centre around

Tudor Square and the improved integration of the City Centre’s

cultural attractions. The aim is to significantly upgrade the space

to improve its performance for events and, as the centre of

Sheffield’s cultural hub, to deliver a high quality setting

appropriate for the refurbished Crucible Theatre. (Work should

be completed in early 2010)

Tudor Square visualisation

Tudor Square Plan

12

Once completed, Tudor Square will substantially improve its

ability to hold the daily theatre crowds and to host events,

enhancing its cultural impact, which embraces not only the

Crucible and the Lyceum Theatres but also the Central Library,

Library Theatre, the Millennium and Graves Galleries and the

Winter Garden. All combine to give a critical mass.

Most of the steps, raised areas and walls are to be removed to

create a simpler, more accessible space with a better defined

café terrace. New seating will be integrated into raised planter

beds which will be carved out of natural materials such as

stone, wood and bronze and will contain a mixture of floral

displays and grass, similar to those in the Peace Gardens.

The quality of the lighting in the square will be greatly improved

and will include the illumination of features, such as the planting

beds and character buildings like the Lyceum and Central

Library and a centrepiece of water misters which will provide an

unusual night-time illuminated feature.

Sheffield Theatres and the City Council will work together to

deliver cultural activity in the Square. The adjacent Winter

Garden, Central Library, Millennium Galleries and the food and

drink establishments lining the square all act as visitor

attractions, which will both complement and encourage

increased use of the redesigned square.

7. Town Hall Square and Surrey Street

The re-alignment and narrowing of Pinstone Street allowed the

in-house design team to create a new event and gathering

space outside the main entrance to the grade 1 listed Town Hall.

The space also incorporates disabled access ramps to the

Council Chambers, bronze planters, with new paving in shot

sawn Yorkshire sandstone.

Surrey Street was also narrowed to give pedestrians more space

and create a better setting for the Town Hall, whist the tarmac

carriageway was replaced with cropped setts in carefully

detailed granite channels and kerbs.

The setts have slowed traffic to the extent that smooth stone flag

crossings (Caithness stone) allow pedestrians to cross the road

safely without special controls.

Additional features include a socket for the civic Christmas tree

or Easter cross, with power supply, several ‘pop up’ power

supplies for outdoor events and new building mounted highway

lighting and CCTV cameras which cut down the clutter of masts

normally associated with city centre spaces.

Street furniture was custom designed from scratch by artist

Bryan Asquith working in collaboration with the City Council’s

Regeneration Projects Design Team. The suite includes tree

grilles, drainage grilles, granite and bronze seats, planters,

bollards and litterbins.

8. Barkers Pool

Sheffield’s City Centre Masterplan identified the City Hall /

Barkers Pool Public Realm Project as a key part of the

regeneration of the City Centre and led the Council and

Sheffield One to commission BDP in 2002 to work up a Concept

Design.

The City Council’s Regeneration Project Design Team, with

technical support from in-house electrical and mechanical

engineers, was commissioned to produce a detailed design

based on continuing the high standards of craftsmanship and

aesthetic design developed in the award winning Heart of the

City project, to transform the space around a refurbished City

Hall into a high quality setting for new commercial developments

on Balm Green and Holly Street.

Features of the design include:

• The exclusion of all general traffic and parking other than

servicing of the City Hall stage doors, other direct frontages,

taxis and disabled badge-holders. All parking is in specified

bays only.

• The extension of the high quality palette of gritstone, granite

and bronze plus new seating, street furniture and pedestrian

lighting. The ‘giant’ size of stone paving slabs around the Hall

have been retained from the original layout. The Heart of the

City palette is a prescribed selection of high quality natural

materials reflecting local distinctiveness, providing a uniform

and seamless public realm set out in the Sheffield City Centre

Design Compendium.

• Extension of smoother non-vehicular paved areas and

elimination of kerbs to accommodate cafe terraces and

pedestrian circulation around City Hall precincts wherever

possible.

• The establishment of offsite parking provision for vehicles

servicing the City Hall and not required for operational

purposes to minimise impact on the pedestrian environment.

• The replacement of trees (with the exception of certain trees

identified for preservation such as the Turkey Oaks in Balm

Green), and selection of more appropriate semi-mature

species to allow more room around City Hall, and to open up

visibility of the building from Barkers Pool.

• The creation of a spectacular water feature creating a link

with the historic Barkers Pool the town’s medieval water

reservoir. This comprises of two 7 metre square polished and Detail of fountain base

flame textured granite plinths with cast art glass inset around

the sides. The water pool ‘floats’ above the coping behind four

large transparent acrylic beams over which the water flows

when the 4 metre high fountain is switched on. The acrylic

and glass elements are illuminated with a combination of

colour changing light emitting diodes and fibre optics. The

main feature pump is hidden in a wet well beneath the

fountain. All filtration and treatment of the water occurs in a

small plant room in the adjacent Balm Green Gardens. This

building also contains the main electrical feeds to the feature

lighting.

• ‘Bottom to top’ restoration of the Cenotaph.

• Careful design of Barker’s Pool to accommodate large crowds

and parades safely and to create a dignified setting for the

Cenotaph.

• Public art commissions have been integrated into the overall

design concept, particularly for the new seating and water

features.

• A co-ordinated, imaginative but easily maintained street and

flood-lighting scheme for the spaces and surrounding

buildings.

• The de-cluttering of the space and removal of level changes

has been welcomed by disabled groups.

The result of these improvements is to emphasise the

monumentality of the City Hall building, a building which is very

important to many Sheffield people for a variety of reasons, and

the creation of a unity and integrity to the public realm that flows

out from the building to the facades of the surrounding

buildings. The use of granite in the main square emphasises

movement into a distinct space that reflects the recto-linear

character of the 1930s City Hall building.

This de-cluttered and unified public realm provides a much-

improved pedestrian environment, no longer dominated by cars

and other vehicles, feeling both safe and welcoming. The new

space has proved a highly attractive setting for major

developments, both completed and proposed. These

developments are a mixture of residential, new office space,

retail and leisure and will bring real and tangible benefits to

Sheffield City centre in the form of new jobs, better facilities for

residents and workers and will inspire further developer and

investor confidence.

9. Devonshire Green

The Devonshire Green open space became an important focus

of youth culture for the city when its successful skate park

opened in 2000. However it gained a reputation for antisocial

behaviour and was beginning to look tired a few years into the

new millennium. It did not attract older people, families and

children. This was picked up in the new City Centre Masterplan

and the upgrade of this open space became one of its key

proposals.

To overcome the issues affecting the green and surrounding

area, the comprehensive redesign includes improved feature

lighting, seating, mature tree planting, grassed amphitheatre

and a new drainage system. Innovative raised planting beds

also provide additional informal seating and give colour all year

round from the drought tolerant planting. Bonded-gravel

footpaths to deal with the issue of pedestrian desire lines, and

the formation of a stunning outdoor café seating area, have also

better integrated the Green into the local environment.

The City Council worked extensively with local community

groups, businesses, residents, Broomhall Forum, Springfield

School, Councillors and with other agencies to help produce the

final design.

General approval of the scheme was obtained from the

Broomhill Central Nether Edge Area Panel, together with

Springfield School, City Centre Forum, Broomhall Forum and

Devonshire Quarter Association. The Devonshire Quarter

Traders Group was also consulted and has been very

supportive throughout.

A popular café bar adjacent to the Green has taken the lease on

the newly formed outdoor seating area (see photo). The local

authority is hoping to attract other suitable local businesses to

sell food and drink on the Green. The project also included the

upgrading of the adjacent Gell Street Park playground and ball

game area for local community use.

An increasingly important contribution to the city’s ongoing

regeneration is Sheffield’s universities, and the Green is a very

popular meeting place for students. It now forms the western

destination of the Gold Route. The provision of high quality

green space can help to improve the level of student retention,

critical to the economic regeneration of the city.

The project was almost entirely funded by contributions from

housing developments in the area under S106 of the Planning

Act.

Next Steps

The 2009 City Centre Master Plan identifies a second major

access - the ‘Steel Route’ as the next major focus for public

realm investment. The route runs from Moorfoot in the southwest

of the city to the Wicker Riverside in the northeast and links the

two major Business Districts as well as the Moor Markets,

Sevenstone Retail Quarter and Castegate Quarter, via the Heart

of the City.

Major new public space projects are under way on the Moor,

Furnival Square, Charter Square, Victoria Square, Wicker and

along the riverside.
