According to my ancient Kelly's Directory, High Street extends on the south side as far as Chapel Walk, 'so I'm putting forward Black Swan Walk. It isn't a walk in the conventional sense but rather a yard, although there is a way through a normally locked door into George Street. It's still there by the way with a name-plate on the corner with High Street.

Looking in the pubs listings the Black Swan Pub address was No. 3 Fargate & No. 5 Black Swan Walk, so perhaps the junction between High Street and Fargate has changed over the years.

There was also a Wreakes Yard - I think it is in the 1841 census. Maramaduke Wreakes, Perukemaker lived on High St in the 1700s - his son Thomas became a maltster while his daughter daughter had a toyshop.

The family is also mentioned in Leader's `Reminiscences of old Sheffield'.

Pg71, Adjoining Mr Colquhoun workshop was the Malt house of Mr Thomas Wreakes whose sister kept a toy shop at the front which was then 35 High St.

(Street directories sometimes differ and the toyshop was at no 37.)
