Castle Green - Sheffield City Centre

[Sheffield History]

Does anyone know the history of Castle Green?

Home to the (in)famous and notorious Hen and Chickens pub and a few other buildings, but were there any other interesting buildings down there over the years?

There is a bit of a write-up by 'FRIENDS of the OLD TOWN HALL, Castle Green' maybe something in that.

Or you could try asking 'FRIENDS of SHEFFIELD CASTLE' they seem to have maps/knowledge of the area.

The subway from Tennants Brewery to the stables on Castle Green is discussed in this thread:

In May 1939 there was a proposal to convert the subway/cellar into the main control centre for the ARP authorities at a cost of £2,000.  The Home Office had vetoed the use of the basements under the Albert Hall.  By September 1939 the cost had increased by £500 and award of the contract to W.G.Robson Ltd was imminent.  By 1950 the subway was being used by Tennants as an area to fill casks.
