Chapel Walk, Sheffield, S1. This is the pedestrian street between Fargate and Norfolk Street. (A-Z p5 3E)
Description:
The spandrel at each end of this narrow pedestrian street. This consists
of an arch containing the name 'Chapel Walk' supported by a three diamensional

from which each shop has its own individual sign. Each sign is an oval of
the same size, suspended by chains from a bracket.
Commission:
Initiated by Sheffield City Council. Funding from the European Union, the
national 'Transport Project Programme' and the private sector.
Comment:
The shops signs are particularly successful in giving the street a unified,
and yet unique, appearance.
