The Moor, Sheffield

The Moor Quarter is one of Sheffield's twelve designated quarters, centered around The Moor, a prominent pedestrianized shopping street. The area is primarily a retail hub, featuring over 70 shops and restaurants, along with the city's main market. Offices are also present, particularly around Charter Row and Moorfoot.

The Moor enjoys a prime location, situated between the Devonshire Quarter, Cultural Industries Quarter, Heart of the City, London Road, and Ecclesall Road, making it easily accessible and strategically placed within Sheffield's city center. One of the quarter’s notable landmarks is the Moorfoot Building at the southwest end, a large monolithic structure that previously housed central British government departments and is now used by Sheffield City Council.

The Moor itself serves as a primary pedestrianized thoroughfare and has become one of Sheffield’s main shopping streets, hosting a range of popular British and international retailers, such as Next, H&M, New Look, River Island, Sports Direct, Primark, and JD Sports, as well as the independent department store Atkinsons and a Sainsbury's supermarket. In addition to the larger retailers, numerous smaller shops and open-air market stalls populate the central pedestrianized area.

A significant addition to the area is The Moor Market, which opened in November 2013 at the corner of The Moor and Earl Street. This market replaced the older Castle Market in the Castlegate area. The Moor Market features 200 stalls and eight shops and is owned by Sheffield City Council, which aims to attract 100,000 shoppers weekly.
