But many may be unaware of the story and the tragedy that led to the construction of Sheffield’s Hole in the Road.
We have put together a gallery that explains the story of how the city came to have the famous Castle Square subway, and how it was finally lost to the city less than 30 years after it was opened.
These photos, taken from The Star’s archives and from pictures courtesy of Sheffield Council’s Picture Sheffield archive, aim to bring the Hole in the Road’s story to life.
