Pinstone Street is a part-pedestrianised road located in Sheffield, England. It connects the two main shopping areas of Fargate and The Moor in the centre of the city.
Originally called Pinstone Lane, its eastern side contains Sheffield Town Hall and the Peace Gardens. The western side of the street was to be redeveloped as part of the Sevenstone project which was postponed as a result of the Late-2000s recession and later cancelled in 2013.{{cite web |title=Sevenstone developer dropped by Sheffield council |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-23487508 |website=BBC |access-date=12 February 2022}} The scheme was later replaced by a new scheme named Heart of the City II which is currently underway.{{cite web |title=Sheffield Heart Of The City II redevelopment plan unveiled |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-43371915 |website=BBC |access-date=12 February 2022}}
Redevelopment
{{main|Sheffield Retail Quarter}}
=Sevenstone=
A proposal New Retail Quarter first developed in 2000 with Hammerson selected as the preferred developer in 2001.{{cite web|title=REPORT TO CABINET: PROPOSED SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL (PINSTONE STREET AND TRAFALGAR STREET) (NEW RETAIL QUARTER) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER 2006|url=http://sheffielddemocracy.moderngov.co.uk/CeListDocuments.aspx?MID=901&F=1-8%20New%20Retail%20Quarter%24embed%24.htm&DF=13%2F12%2F2006&A=1&R=0|website=Sheffield City Council}} The scheme would have seen the refurbishment of several buildings on Pinstone Street. In October 2007, developers Hammerson unveiled the official marketing name for the New Retail Quarter as Sevenstone.{{cite web|url=http://www.retailpropertyanddevelopment.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=475&Itemid=94|title=Sheffield's new centre named Sevenstone|publisher=RPD online|accessdate=16 October 2007|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080409052121/http://www.retailpropertyanddevelopment.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=475&Itemid=94|archivedate=9 April 2008|df=dmy-all}} However, the scheme was put on hold indefinitely in 2009.
