Sheffield shops: Flagship shop Mesters' Market in restored Leah's Yard closes
A key shop in a flagship regeneration project in Sheffield has closed.
Mesters Market in Leah’s Yard is locked and is apparently being cleared out.
The shop sold food, gifts and art and was an important link between historic Leah’s Yard on Cambridge Street and the Cambridge Street Collective food hall.
It was owned and run by Ian Proctor and was one of the original shops to open when the restoration of mesters’ workshops, Leah’s Yard, was complete in August 2024.
Leah’s Yard features a Pete McKee art shop, Hop Hideout beer emporium, La Biblioteka book shop, Roots and Blooms florist, Gravel Pit houseplants and chocolate café and bar, Chocolate Bar, and offices above.
It is part of the city council’s £470m Heart of the City regeneration scheme which has delivered two office blocks, shops in new and restored buildings from Pinstone Street to Barker’s Pool, a new food hall, upmarket hotel behind a Victorian facade, a small park, events space, a block of flats and Leah’s Yard.
