According to the bbc's south yorkshire site:

Sheffield City Council approved dramatic plans to transform Sheffield Station and Sheaf Square.

8) Nah Den Ace..........

I like the look of the plans. One thing that has always puzzled me though...........

Why are roundabouts called square!?! For example........Sheaf Square, Granville Square, Park Square, etc.

Regards,

i think this has been spoken about in several other threads - im too lazy to link them so i might leave this in the capable hands of Geoff.

Looks good - long may sheffield improve. lets hope lots of this stuff is done while im away for the next 18 months - and then i can return when its no longer congested!! YAY

There used to be squares, similar to Fitzalan Square, which were replaced by roundabouts and the names were retained.
