The Moor Quarter is one of Sheffield's twelve designated quarters, built around and named for The Moor, a pedestrianised thoroughfare. It is bound by Furnival Gate in the north-east, Eyre Street in the south-east, St Mary's Gate to the south, and Moore Street and Charter Row to the north-west. It is primarily a retail location, with the city's main market now located in the quarter. There are also some offices at Charter Row and Moorfoot. It benefits from a good location, centrally between the Devonshire Quarter, Cultural Industries Quarter, Heart of the City and London Road and Ecclesall Road shops. The monolithic Moorfoot Building is at the south-west end of the Moor. It previously housed central British government departments, but is now used by Sheffield City Council. Location The Moor is approximately in length and is located in the southern part of Sheffield City Centre. It begins at Hereford Street at the southern end by the Moorfoot Building. It then runs past Fitzwilliam Gate, Cumberland Street, Holy Green, Earl Street, Rockingham Gate and Matilda Street before terminating at the junction between Furnival Gate and Pinstone Street. The Moor The Moor itself is a primary pedestrianised thoroughfare and one of the main shopping streets of Sheffield, England. Along its length lie some of the most popular British and international high street names leading it to become the main focal point for retail in the city centre in recent years. The street was originally named Sheffield Moor, then in the early nineteenth century was renamed "South Street", but was again renamed in order to avoid confusion with a South Street near Hyde Park. The shops along it were rebuilt in the 1950s following damage in World War II and pedestrianised in 1979 with market stalls now occupying the former roadway. The Moor stretches from Furnival Gate, Moorhead to the north to Cumberland Way, Moorfoot to the south, where the former Moorfoot Building blocks the route on to London Road. The major retailers on The Moor include Next, H&M, New Look, River Island, Sports Direct, Primark, independent department store Atkinsons, JD Sports and Sainsbury's. There are also numerous smaller units as well as open-air market stalls in the middle of the pedestrianised area. Regeneration Since development started in the late 2000s after the area became empty and rundown due to shops closing, The Moor has been undergoing a programme of regeneration by Scottish
