Sheffield’s street names can tell you a lot about the city’s history, from the industries on which it was built to its famous characters.
While some of those names date back hundreds of years, others have more recent origins.
Several of Sheffield’s best-known streets once went by different names, before they were given new monikers for various reasons.
Some were renamed many decades ago while others have only changed names in the last few years - often in honour of much-loved citizens, from celebrated footballers to dedicated politicians.
Below are 13 Sheffield streets which have been renamed over the years, and the stories behind those changes.
1. The Moor (South Street)
The Moor is Sheffield's main shopping strip. It used to be known as South Street before it was renamed in February 1922, reportedly to avoid confusion with another South Street near Hyde Park. Before being known as South Street, it was called Sheffield Moor. This photo shows South Street, as it was then, in 1887, decorated for Queen Victoria's Jubilee. Photo: Picture Sheffield
