The city skyline is currently dominated by towering cranes and buildings emerging from the ground.

The £35 million site off the Bochum Parkway is set to open in July.

It will feature retailers including Next, M&S Foodhall, Aldi, TK Maxx, Specsavers, HomeSense, Wilko, Mountain Warehouse, ShoeZone, Card Factory, Greggs and Costa.

Some 250 jobs will be created there.

And perhaps one of the most exciting possibilities is that of a ‘great pier’ which would allow shoppers to watch archaeologists as they excavate the historic Sheffield Castle.
