Arundel Gate
Arundel Gate is one of the main thoroughfares in Sheffield, England. It is located in the Heart of the City area of Sheffield City Centre. Arundel Gate also features a fifteen-stand bus station, including a ticket office building, completed in 2005.
Arundel Gate is 0.5 mi (0.8 km) long, running through the eastern side of the city centre. It starts as a continuation of the Eyre Street dual carriageway from the Furnival Square roundabout where it meets Furnival Gate and Furnival Street. Arundel Gate initially heads northeast as a dual carriageway, before turning north at Hallam Square and becoming a single carriageway. Continuing northwards, Arundel Gate becomes a dual carriageway again shortly before terminating at Castle Square, the junction with High Street, continuing onwards as Angel Street (the southeast direction of Arundel Gate becoming a bus gate in early 2023).
Two conservation areas have been designated by Sheffield City Council in the areas surrounding Arundel Gate. These are the City Centre Conservation Area which covers an area of 0.12 sq mi (0.3 km2) on the western side of Arundel Gate, and the Cultural Industries Quarter Conservation Area on the eastern side of the road.
A number of Sheffield's most prominent landmarks are located along Arundel Gate. St Paul's Tower, the tallest building in the city at 101 m (331 ft) tall, and the adjacent "Cheesegrater" car park were both completed in 2011, fronting onto Arundel Gate as part of the St Paul's Place redevelopment. The Millennium Gallery, opened in 2001, also features an entrance onto Arundel Gate. Tudor Square is located next to Arundel Gate near its northern end; the square includes the Crucible Theatre, the venue for the annual World Snooker Championship, as well as the Central Library, Lyceum Theatre, Studio Theatre and Winter Gardens.
Opposite Tudor Square is a large brutalist structure built into the steep hillside between Arundel Gate and Pond Street in the 1970s. The structure is home to the O2 Academy Sheffield, a music venue which opened in 2008; it had previously been the Roxy's nightclub. Next to the O2 Academy is Odeon Sheffield, a seven-screen cinema opened on the site of the former Fiesta nightclub in 1992. In December 2018, the Odeon was reopened as an Odeon Luxe cinema after a refurbishment. A small underground nightclub, Tank, is located next to the cinema. Running underneath the entire O2 Academy and Odeon structure is a multi-storey car park, accessed from the top via an underpass from Arundel Gate or from the bottom on Flat Street, opposite Sheffield Interchange; it is operated by National Car Parks.
Hallam Square is a pedestrianised public square adjoining onto Arundel Gate to the south of the brutalist complex mentioned above. Several buildings of Sheffield Hallam University's City Campus front onto Arundel Gate around Hallam Square, leading down Howard Street.
Arundel Gate Interchange is a linear bus station located along both sides of Arundel Gate at its northern end, between Castle Square and Hallam Square. It is one of two Travel South Yorkshire Interchanges located in Sheffield City Centre, along with the main bus station at Sheffield Interchange located 150 m (490 ft) to the east on Pond Street. As well as Sheffield Interchange, further onward connections are available from Castle Square tram stop on the Sheffield Supertram network, located at the northern end of Arundel Gate; and from Sheffield station, located beyond Sheffield Interchange.
As well as fifteen roadside bus stops, there is a small Travel South Yorkshire ticket office building located at 30 Arundel Gate, in the middle of the triangle junction between Arundel Gate, Norfolk Street and Milk Street. It is a small triangular building constructed primarily of a blue metal frame with large floor-to-ceiling windows, located directly next to the Crucible Theatre. The ticket office was opened in 2005, originally featuring staffed ticket desks and paper timetable stands. As of 2021, the staffed ticket desks remain, although the paper timetables have now been replaced by automated electronic ticket machines for issuing products onto Travel South Yorkshire smartcards; paper timetables are no longer produced. The ticket office is staffed from 07:00 to 19:00 from Monday to Saturday, and does not open on Sundays. There is also a free-to-use disability-accessible public toilet located on the outside of the building which is available to use 24 hours a day.
