The Peace Gardens, Sheffield, Yorkshire, England
Set against the backdrop of the Victorian Town Hall and with spectacular fountains, water features and lawns, the Peace Gardens have created an oasis for visitors. As well a great place from which to enjoy Sheffield City Centre, the Peace Gardens are home to a number of historical markers and celebrations of Sheffield's great achievements. Take time to look at: The Standard Measures - an early example of consumer protection; the Goodwin Fountain - a celebration of one of Sheffield's benefactors; the Holberry Cascades - dedicated to the leader of the Sheffield Chartist Movement; the Spanish Civil War Memorial - a tribute to those who gave their lives; the Bochum Bell - a special gift from Sheffield's twin City.
The Peace Gardens are open daily.
The Peace Gardens were originally the churchyard of St Paul's, a baroque style domed church built to accommodate the growing population of 18th Century Sheffield, which had outgrown the Parish Church (now the Anglican Cathedral). It was built at the expense of Robert Downs, a wealthy local goldsmith. Work began in 1720 but Downs later fell out with the church authorities and for a time allowed Dissenters to worship there until it was finally consecrated in 1740.
By 1938 the Church of England had no further use for the building. It was demolished to make way for a proposed extension to the Town Hall - unfortunately never built becuase of the advent of the Second World War. All that remained were the churchyard walls, within which the Council laid out a temporary garden. This was named St Pauls Gardens but soon became known as the Peace Gardens, reflecting the popular desire for a return to peacetime.

The Peace Gardens
My views on why I believe this public square and city centre gardens is the best designed public space to be created in the last 100 years in the UK. It's a little rushed as I only had about 12 minutes recording time to play with.

Sheffield Landmark Peace Gardens
Bit Of History
The Gardens were first laid out in 1938, following the demolition of St Paul's Church. Originally named St Paul's Gardens, they were immediately nicknamed the Peace Gardens, marking the contemporary signing of the Munich Agreement. The Gardens were originally intended to be replaced by an extension to the Town Hall, but due to World War II, this was never built. In 1985, the space was formally renamed the Peace Gardens. The Sheffield gardens are a fine example of the network of similar gardens created between the two world wars and presage later gardens and community spaces in London and other urban centres.

SHEFFIELD WALK | Sheffield Midland Train Station to The Peace Gardens
I start my walk through Sheffield outside Sheffield Midland Railway Station where I'm standing outside the main front doors.
This area of the city centre has had some really nice redevelopment done in recent times so as we turn to head up the road we can see the new fountains and steel water wall ahead of us.

On the left is Sheffield Hallam University Science Park and on the right is the main Sheffield Hallam Uni City Campus including the howard building and the Owen Building.
Halfway up Howard Street we find The Globe pub on the left and over on the right the new Hallam Square, an open space for relaxation (mostly full of Hallam Uni students relaxing or studying)
At the top of Howard Street we come onto Arundel Gate with Sheffield Novotel hotel ahead of us, and the Millenium Gallery on the right.
As we cross over and head left we see the big building of St Paul's Apartments which is a prestigious Sheffield apartment complex, and beyond that the shiny silver Q Park carpark and Genting Casino complex.
We turn right past Sainsbury's to head up the steps that takes us up into St Paul's Place and where we find Cosmo restaurant amongst others and we turn right again and find the Sheffield Winter Garden ahead of us.

Peace Gardens open air concert Sheffield, UK
The Peace Gardens are an inner city square in Sheffield, England. It was created as part of the Heart of the City project by Sheffield City Council.
The Gardens themselves front onto Sheffield's gothic town hall (not to be confused with the Sheffield City Hall, a popular concert venue), creating a spectacular view as shoppers and visitors sit in the gardens.
It has won many awards, and was one of the major sites responsible for Sheffield's first place in the Entente Florale 2005.
History
The Gardens were first laid out in 1938, following the demolition of St Paul's Church. Originally named St Paul's Gardens, they were immediately nicknamed the Peace Gardens, marking the contemporary signing of the Munich Agreement. The Gardens were originally intended to be replaced by an extension to the Town Hall, but due to World War II, this was never built. In 1985, the space was formally renamed the Peace Gardens. The Sheffield gardens are a fine example of the network of similar gardens created between the two world wars and presage later gardens and community spaces in London and other urban centres.
Features
One of the cascades
Public Consultation showed strong support for a garden rather than the multi purpose open square which had been earlier advised by architectural consultants. It has fountains at the centre, and cascades around the outside. These are to represent the flowing molten steel, which made Sheffield famous, and also the water of Sheffield's rivers, the Sheaf, River Don, River Rivelin, River Loxley and Porter Brook, which were used to power the mills which drove Sheffield's industry.
The site contains several memorials for Sheffielders who served in wars, including in the Spanish Civil War and another plaque commemorating Sheffielders who gave their lives in all conflicts, including the Korean War. It also contains a memorial to Hiroshima, unveiled on Hiroshima Day, 8 August 1985, in the presence of three survivors of the atomic devastation Other memorials include the Holberry Cascades, named for local Chartist leader Samuel Holberry, the Bochum Bell, donated by Sheffield's twin city, and a set of standard measures

Peace Gardens fountain, by night. Sheffield, UK
I took a video of the Peace Gardens again because I felt embarrassed... I posted so many vids of it for the Christmas - without water, and this place is amazing!? Stil, I'm not satisfied with the movie... I should have taken a perspective with the cascades, as well... next time :)
