Cultural Industries Quarter

Sheffield's former industrial streets turned into a compact cluster of galleries, studios, venues, and student life

The Cultural Industries Quarter sits between Sheffield station and the city centre, where old works, warehouses, and workshops have been folded into the city's creative life. It is not a polished museum district; the appeal is in the mix of brick industrial buildings, galleries, venues, studios, and the nearby university crowd.

Use it as a wandering area rather than a single sight. Site Gallery, the Showroom, the Leadmill area, and the smaller streets around Arundel Street give a good sense of Sheffield's shift from manufacturing city to a place that still likes making things, just in different materials.
