But the narrow pedestrian street, just off Fargate, has experienced some highs and lows in its history as a key part of the city centre’s retail offerings over the years..
One photo, from 1978, shows the street positively bustling with keen shoppers.
Rather than big-name blue-chip firms, the walkway would be home to many local Sheffield businesses like Chapel Walk Chemists and Sarah’s Self Service Restaurant, where in June 1982 you could get a cheese and onion quiche, chips and peas for the princely sum of £1.25.
Later, the street would go through a bit of a downturn, with a fair few ‘for let’ signs popping up by the early 1990s.
Several schemes have since been set up to reinvigorate the street, including ‘pop-up shops’ using £100,000 of Government money in 2012 in a scheme run in partnership with retail guru Mary Portas.
Our 14 pictures, below, show the changes from way back in the 1960s, through the 70s, 80s and 90s, right up to how it looks in the present day.
