Not seen this before! Whereabouts in Sheffield is this?

Now come on, it's plain it's Lady's Bridge, just on the top right can be seen part of what was Whitbreads Brewery.

I agree - ceremonial archway celebrating Royalty?

Well as there is only 1 tram track on the bridge, and no overhead, it must be between 1873 and 1899. As Queen Victoria visited to open the Town Hall in 1897 could it be connected with her visit?

A couple of other royal visits during the horse tram period were 16th August 1875 - Prince & Princess of Wales opening Firth Park and 30th June and 1st July 1885 - Prince of Wales visiting an Industrial Exhibition.

The answer appears to be the former of these two visits, according to Picture Sheffield

Temporary arches were constructed around the city centre during royal visits in Victorian and Edwardian times. They look substantial but were only for the day.
