boginspro Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Just like the Moor I think it was better before pedestrianisation, we had a great traffic system with one long straight line from Abbeydale to Attercliffe, The traffic did move slowly in the busy periods but that didn't seem to matter when you could jump on and off a tram or bus anywhere along the way.

When I walk through Fargate, I spend most of my time looking up above the shops there now, that is where all the beauty of the architecture lies. Thanks for sharing, have you got any other photos of Fargate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestTinsley Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I know that Gate is the original Northern/'Anglo-Scandinavian' word for Street since the years of the Danelaw or before. But the 'Far' part, if it's modern English it's obviously what it says, but I suspect it's older ... and may mean something else ) (??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Pretty much the same meaning as now - the more distant road (from the castle and adjacent market side of town) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield History Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Is this camera angle really deceptive or did Fargate go to the left here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
