and live on Freeview channel 276
Fargate is a popular pedestrianised shopping area right in the heart of the city, offering mainly high street chains and features traditional cobbled streets.
However, it didn’t always look how it does today – the area was once a major road in the city centre, and at the Junction was the Goodwin Fountain.

Also on Fargate is the iconic Carmel House building which houses shops and a bank.
The late Gothic style Carmel House on Fargate was built in 1892 for the YMCA and has the symbols of the four evangelists carved in the corbelling to the balcony over the entrance and six arched panels on the curved portion of the front, depicting the six days of Creation.
