This week, a planning application for the latest scheme to transform Sheffield, the Castlegate project, was filed with Sheffield Council.
It is the latest planned project to redesign part of the city. From major rebuilding projects following the war to the re-imagining of the city after the closure of many of its former steelworkers, some areas have been transformed over the years.
Some of the projects you will remember being constructed – others, although they have had massive repucussions on the city, were before anyone living today was born.
