Blue Moon cafe opened in 2001 but closed at the start of 2023.

The property, thought to date back to the 1850s, was home to auctioneers and estate agents Eadon, Lockwood and Riddle.

It is in a historic area of the city, adjacent to Sheffield Cathedral and close to the Cutlers Hall, on Church Street.
