Fargate a shadow of its former self as 10 units lie unoccupied after year-long coronavirus crisis

Fargate – once the main shopping street of Sheffield city centre – is a shadow of its former self.

Now, 10 units lie unoccupied after the year-long coronavirus crisis forced many high street chains into administration and caused others to close shops or move sales online only.

A previous version of this article inaccurately said the O2 store on Fargate had closed. This is not the case and we are happy to correct it.
