In the Castlegate Quarter in Sheffield, the former crown court is still there, and it's a listed building.
The clock at the top really stands out from the buildings below and on a clear day like today looks resplendent in the Spring sunshine.

This plaque can be found in Castlegate, Huddersfield.
Sir Walter Parratt, one of the town's most famous sons, was instrumental in getting the Father Willis organ for the town hall.
Born in Huddersfield, Parratt began to play the organ from an early age, and held posts as an organist while still a child. He became one of the foremost organ teachers of his day, with many important posts in Britain being filled by his students. He was knighted in 1892 and became Professor of Music at Oxford University in 1908, taking over from Hubert Parry. In 1893 he was appointed Master of the Queen's Musick.
Later honours included: MVO 1901, CVO 1917, and a further knighthood, KCVO 1921.
After Parratt's death in 1924 a monument to him was erected in the grounds of Huddersfield parish church.

Fairfax House, Castlegate, York, 1755-62.
By John Carr of York (1723-1807).
For Viscount Fairfax of Emley.
Grade l listed.
The Red Saloon.
This first-floor room was used for dancing and entertaining. On April 15th 1763 Viscount Fairfax entertained 200 people here as part of a joint celebration of his birthday and the completion of the house.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fairfax House is a triumph of Georgian design. Bought by Charles Gregory, 9th Viscount Fairfax of Emley, for £2000 in 1759, he employed master architect John Carr of York to transform the existing building into a magnificent and fashionable townhouse. Lord Fairfax gifted the house to his sole surviving child making Anne Fairfax a property-owning woman in her own right.
Here both Anne and her Father spent the winter season. Standing on the thriving street of Castlegate, the main thoroughfare to York Castle, and sitting on the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss, Fairfax House was at the very centre of York’s polite society and perfectly positioned as a base from which to enjoy York’s burgeoning city-life and social scene.

The Market Cross in Castlegate Square in Aberdeen built in 1686 by a local architect John Montgomery with a Unicorn on top of the central pillar.
Most Twons and Cities in Scotland have a Market Cross, or in old Scots - Mercat Cross where Kings had given the City or Town permission to hold Public Markets.
Market Crosses were first used in the late 1100s as King William the Lion passed a law that all Markets would have to be held at a Market Cross that had been given permission from the King, this leading to wealth for those Towns.
The Market Cross was also where large events would be held, public shamings, punishments, hangings and beheadings, all attractiing huge crowds as there was no Cinema or TV back then, so this was their entertainment.
The Bears of Sheffield, Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
The Bears of Sheffield raised more than £750000 for a new Cancer and Leukaemia Ward at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
Bear Name: Pastel Pattern Patchwork Bear
Artist: Fun Makes Good
Location: Castlegate Lady’s Bridge
Description: Fun Makes Good design studio often takes inspiration from contemporary architectural forms and geometric shapes, combining a love of texture with graphic patterns and creative colour combinations to produce pieces that are instantly uplifting, playful and eye-catching.
The design for Pastel Pattern Patchwork Bear is a continuation of some of FMG’s previous work made for Sheffield Children’s Hospital with Artfelt. The Bear has a more subtle and gentle design than the previous work, with the grid of the ‘patchwork’ broken up with soft curved shapes that flow and move around the Bear, giving him a softness and warmth through delicate colour and pattern.
