Advantages: shops close together and easy accessibility

Disadvantages: needs some tlc at the moment

Orchard Square, which is in the middle of Sheffield's High Street, is a small shopping area (i wouldn't call it a shopping centre!) that has a lovely, calm feel to it. The sqaure is tucked away from the rest of the High Street and so the hustle and bustle of the High Street seems far away!

You have got some great shops in the square, including TK Max, Waterstones, Evans and the Museum pub, which is always a good place to stop, and on a nice day sit out in the square with a drink, watching the world go by.
There are benches situated around the square if you need to take the weight off your feet after all that shopping!

There is quite a large swiss clock in the square, which chimes on the hour, and when i was much smaller, used to have male and female figures which would emerge from it when the hour chimed. I have to say that the clock is still there, well it was the last time i visited, but the figures i have not seen in a very long time. I thought that the clock was one of the best things i had seen when i was younger! I was fascinated!

I have to admit that due to recession and the facelift that seems to be happening everywhere in Sheffield at the moment, that the square does need a little bit of TLC. I still enjoy going there and shopping and i still find it a lovely place to relax.

Summary: gets you away from the high street
