About

The Cathedral & Kelham area lies at the heart of Sheffield's city centre, anchored by the medieval Cathedral Church of St Peter and St Paul. The immediate streets are a mix of retail and commercial buildings, with the Peace Gardens and Town Hall nearby. This zone forms the traditional civic and shopping core, transitioning directly into the Kelham Island neighbourhood.

Kelham Island itself is a former industrial district centred on the River Don, known for its converted warehouses and manufacturing buildings. The Kelham Island Museum, home to the massive River Don Engine, highlights the area's metalworking past. Its streets are now lined with independent breweries and eateries set within the old industrial architecture.
