Woodall was originally commissioned to initiate a more comprehensive project, but the money was unfortunately spent in the design and manufacture of the archways over the entrance to the market area and the entrance to Angel Street from Fitzalan Square.

Castle Gate
Castlegate is one of eleven Quarters in Sheffield's City Centre. It is now bound by Commercial Street and part of the High Street to the south, Exchange Place to the east, the road named Castlegate to the north, Angel Street and Snig Hill to the west. Castlegate is the main thoroughfare to and from the North of Sheffield as it links Park Square to The Wicker, although it is intended that the Sheffield Northern Relief Road will take this traffic when completed, allowing Exchange Place, Castlegate and The Wicker to be downgraded. Castlegate, built along a portion of the River Don, was the old location of the slaughter houses. It also served as a back entrance to the Alexandra Opera House as well as the market quarter situated on the site of the former castle of Sheffield, hence the name of the street and quarter.

The view from the parking lot, approaching the gate to the castle. You can see a bit of the castle through the open gate.
It doesn't look like this bridge was actually crossing anything. I guess the red guardrails were just there for style.

Castlegate, Sheffield.
Here, the River Sheaf re-emerges after passing through a long tunnel beneath Sheffield Railway Station. The Sheaf joins the River Don at this point.
The tunnel carries an AD 1916 date stone.
Above the tunnel is the Alexandra Hotel on Exchange Street.
Behind the Alexandra is Hambleton House, c1925, the former offices of the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive. It is threatened with demolition.
On the left are the former gents toilets which, I believe, are Grade ll listed as an integral part of the listed Blonk Bridge (extreme left).
Sheffield's fast flowing rivers provided waterpower for the cutler's wheels that fuelled the city's early industrial success. But as Sheffield continued to expand and prosper, the rivers suffered. They were dammed and diverted, and in some places completely disappeared beneath the growing city. The age of railways and canals help to redraw the landscape of the city and by the 20th century Sheffield's ancient rivers were a mere footnote in the urban landscape.
