Devonshire Quarter

Division Street, Devonshire Quarter, Sheffield, looking east with the Town Hall in the distance

The Devonshire Quarter is an area in the centre of Sheffield, England. Its heart is the Division Street and Devonshire Street shopping areas, known for their small independent shops and variety of pubs and bars. The district also has The Forum shopping centre and Devonshire Green, one of the largest open areas in central Sheffield.

To the west, the quarter is bounded by Sheffield's inner ring road and includes a small social housing estate. Glossop Road and West Street are to the north, Carver Street to the east, and Moore Street and Charter Row to the south-east.



The Quarter is designed to create an urban village of city living and retail, with the NRQ based mostly within the Devonshire Quarter.[1]
