St. Vincent's Quarter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St Vincent's Quarter is one of Sheffield's eleven designated quarters and based around and named after St Vincent's Church. Primarily an office and industrial location,^[1] its regeneration has increased rapidly over the past few years, with the new Metier residential block and Velocity Village^[2] office and residential accommodation springing up on the north side of Tenter Street.

It is broadly triangular in shape, with Tenter Street and Broad Lane to the south, Netherthorpe Road and Hoyle Street to the north-west and Shalesmoor, Moorfields, Gibraltar Street and West Bar to the north-east.

Currently, the A57 runs through the middle of the quarter but upon the completion of the Northern Relief Road, a dedicated route will be provided around the quarter, with the intention of improving the character of the area.

It currently has three designated character areas: Furnace Hill, Solly Street, Well Meadow.^[3]
