- Three SECRET HIDDEN places in Sheffield City Centre revealed as we show you three places in the city centre of Sheffield that you probably never knew existed. These three places are situated in the city centre just off places like Fargate, Fitzalan Square, Castlegate and the Wicker but you probably don't know them
Come with me as I reveal three very secret hidden places in the city that you will be surprised to find out about!
Sheffield city centre is the central business and shopping district of the city, and it is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, bars, and other amenities.

wow I'm especially exited to walk down the back alley to see a couple of trade rubbish skips I mean where else could you see such sights 🤣🤣
🤣🤣
I love this city, it accepted and protected me from the war. Many thanks
Sheffield loves you x
Proud of my city for helping :) but naturally hope the war ends and you get to go home again happy!
@@Wickerrman I hope
❤️
😂😂😂@@Wickerrman
I know all theses places....
Its the people that make Sheffield such a fantastic place.... But if you live in a city where people call you love you will fall In love with it.. X
Is duck still used?
True
Duck not used so much now.dont know why I call everyone love hope they don't mind.
Duck is a Derbyshire thing.
Thanks for the tour I've not stepped foot in the town centre for at least 10 years. 😊
That big circle on the ground on Black Swan Lane is a concreted over turn table to turn carriages around. There is a handle on the wall to turn it, though obviously it doesn't work anymore due to being concreted over.
These are great, thank you! I've been told that the circular concrete 'installation' in the ground at the closed end of Black Swan Walk was used originally a turntable to turn the coaches around so the horses could properly lead them out again. Do you think this is possible?
Yes that's true - check www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk - there's a discussion on there about it
I was recently down black swan lain I think at one point it was open at the other end. It does look like some sort of rail track for a turntable or something
Yeah I believe that to be true, was told the same.
I took my 15 year old daughter down there to show her the place where the turntable was. It’s a funny little place, almost feels like you shouldn’t be there 😅
Yes it was a turntable for coaches
The first one, the Riverside walkway has been there years, it just used to be locked at the lady's Bridge end cus there used to be businesses operating before it was all done up and made into offices/flats, and they cleaned it up and made into a walkway.
Yea!! And it is one part of the 5 weirs walk from castlegate to meadowhall. Really nice to explore, I hope more people can notice about the hidden lanes in Sheffield!
I saw a supermarket there Nisa Local I think it was?
The building that was Hancock and Lants , on way to lady’s bridge was an old horse hospital
Good morning. It's a beautiful winter's sunny start to the day. Thank you for the 3 Sheffield secret alleyways. I have been to the first 2 but not the 3rd, secret place. I will go today as I am out walking. Have a great, happy, positive day and week
The third is a dead end.
Thank you. As shown here, the narrow lane across from Starbucks has a large concrete circle. It once had a turntable, to turn the horses and carts around, to get out of the narrow lane into town.
Was going to mention that bit of history! Thankyou. Learnt about the turntable through a history group I was with a few years back. There were so many hidden gems, but hardly any of our group knew about them. Hope the counci revitalises Chapel Walk to its former glory. Cx
I've lived in Sheffield all my life n yes do know about these places. The sad fact is our canal pass is a shambles 😪 compared to other cities!! Shame on Sheffield!
Get a life
Never been to the first, I've taken photos down the second place, and good to know the 3rd shortcut.
They're druggie hot spots though these back allys. I was clenched whilst you walked down them, always dodgy buggers down there.
Thankfully I'm six foot three and built like a tank 🤣
I went to see the one o'clock time signal at the top of Fargate and then I was about to have a look down Black Swan Walk........and two dodgy chaps were just going down it in front of me, so I gave it a miss. It was lashing it down as well, I think it's a sunny day potter, everything looks better on a sunny day!
Last time l visited the sun was extremely well hidden
With some many rejuvenation/construction projects going on, it will be interesting to see a year from now what Sheffield looks like.
Very true
When you said 3 secrets I thought you were going to be going to the hidden tunnel and other hidden areas like the hidden hospital that you have to climb over a wall to get into the underground hospital.
Maybe in the next one!
Is there enough to see and do in Sheffield for 3 days ?
Over the past year and half, my wife and have had several short city breaks which have included London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, York and Liverpool, with three more repeat trips already planned for this year.
I am trying to think of somewhere new to visit, for late in the year, or even early 2025, hence this question.
Although my wife likes the shops, we both enjoy seeing new places of interest, such as museums, cathedrals etc.
Birmingham, Chester, Cardiff, Sheffield, Aberdeen, Inverness are other possibilities.
I love Sheffield and have lived here for nearly 30 years - all of my adult life, but I wouldn't recommend it for such a trip unless you are coming for a specific event like the snooker or to access the Peak District (in which case, stay in the Peak District). There just isn't that much of interest to tourists here, but if you're happy to make like the locals and enjoy the green spaces, visit the few good shopping areas and visit plenty of real ale pubs, you'll be reyt.
@@tregy Thanks for your honesty.
Regards from Whitley Bay
It's weird that the wicker, the main road looks like ass but round back it's actually quite alright.
Changed loads in the last twenty years too eh!
You just showed everyone where the drug addicts and homeless visit regularly.... most shops closed down.... You should have done a video of Sheffield councils delusions.
I don't 'do' moaning about the council on this channel Wayne.
I leave that to the mad old gimmers on the Sheffield facebook groups 🤣
No2 is fascinating. I was amazed when I found it a few years ago.
Used to be locked gates both ends of the Riverside walk back a few years
I love being an olg git. Get concession on buses, trains, Supertram then old people concession on ticket prices. I am 67, I run. I will beat you to the bus stop pretty much most of the time. On form, I do 6 miles. Totally love it, don't intend to grow old!😊
I'll sleep much better tonight after finding out about these 3 new place.
I'll be up on Saturdsy morning & off to town with 3 cans of lager, one to drink with the winos i see down on each of these secret places..
Cool story bro
No secrets to see here im afraid but its nice to see how the towns changed,
i havnt been down there on foot for years.
Black Swan Walk was full of shops at one time, the fronts was on your right as you walked down it. Now the shops are on the other side. And as said before there is the remains of a carriage turntable at the bottom.
The tiled building on Lady's bridge is amazing and when you take a look at the roof the lead flashing and finnals are out standing. And under the bridge is a place called the Cathedral under ground water way. 👍
It’s called megatron
how interesting is that(the lead has now been stolen.
I can see why not many people want to go to these places.
Sheffield is a beautiful city!
@@chrisgeelan4483it is but he probably meant because they are down the sort of alleyways you'd expect to find some drug users 😀
These spots are only useful if your trying to have a cheeky one night stand in public on a Saturday night without bringing the bird home.
these are a secret for a reason - just alleways - where you would not want to walk
was this filmed early on a sunday morning?
Possibly yes - I can't remmeber now
it has a sunday morn feel, i recognise that was it early june?
@@SheffieldVideos
i live in chesterfield:)
Not secret places you just dont go there expecially at night
Very true
What are you promoting here?? The best places in Sheffield to get mugged!!
🤣🤣🤣
I knew about the one next to chapel walk but have never been down i will ask my dad who has lived in sheffield 88 year 🙏
Be careful doing down there though
Knocking a lot of old places down I wonder if kalam Ireland has anything like that
Black Swan Walk isn’t a secret it just doesn’t go anywhere, and it’s where the junkies used to hang out at night so most people were warned against going there.
And Jew Lane was a common shortcut when I was a teenager, I wouldn’t go down there at night though for obvious reasons.
The only ‘secret’ is the river walk, but that’s not so much a secret as just fairly new.
Used to be my secret places to take women now u have ruined it
🤣
Most people from Sheffield know about these places where just not that stupid to walk down dead ends or sketchy looking back wacks because you're just asking to be mugged down them
i know it's a year late, but why didn't you show the spider bridge? i'd say it's a lot more interesting than the walkway leading to the wicker, and it's not particularly known since it's so out the way for a pedestrian
great vid though, been through the other 2 gennels mentioned on a walk at night and despite me never facing trouble, i'd never recommend it, too many shady characters
Good suggestion - I'll do a video on that soon!
No3. Now. That's unknown!!!!
I did know that Jew Lane...didn't dare to walk it though ta! Great video mate.
Thanks mate - I'll not be going back down it though!
Other than the Black Swan Walk off Fargate, the other two are empty, isolated, almost unused by most people and a complete waste of money. No wonder it is said about Castlegate that it is a secret place. No one goes there. Nothing to brag about.
I live in this area. Please don't go walking down the alleyway. It's a hideout for undesirables, and there's no alternative exit if you get cornered by anyone.
My partner lives in Sheffield
Used to use Jew lane in the 70s when coming out of the civic cinema. Wigfalls tv shop was next to it. The civic cinema burnt down.
Ah yes! Forgot about those!
Where was everybody?
The filming seems to be in the early morning which will explain the lack of people.
Bet you don't know where the rhubarb mines are...
Limp effort, my friend.
Obviously the graffiti vandals know these places.
May I suggest you do some research to explain the origins of the places you claim to be 'hidden' from Sheffielders?
Lady's Bridge, for example, of which the basic 15th Century load-bearing part is still intact, despite having had numerous structures built on top of it. Take a look underneath, it's quite well hidden from the road view though.
Take care. Love and peace.
I’ve been on them all,I’m Sheffield born n bred plus for a few years I lived in the cannon pub just up from lady’s bridge,I’ve probably been in more secret places than you have lol
nowt secret about them,
We're is the the home is for people who been homeless it's called the maze
Not sure sorry
Where are the peoples?
Sheffield has changed a lot since 1999, when I moved here. It looks way more beautiful now.
Well said!
I know all three.. tis a shame they look like they do.. Jew Lane and Black Swan Walk need sprucing up..
Waste of 10 minutes of my life. Should be called 3 back alleys you can use to piss when you're going home drunk from the city center.
Sorry to have wasted your life.
I guess it was 12 minutes if you include the time it took you to type your comment too
Old video, All the work has been completed down at Riverside.
Ok
2.30 usually got human turds all over path from druggies and hobos haha
The first one is not a secret 🤷🏻♀️
How do you KNOW though? 😉
You're having a laugh if you think folks don't know about those areas
ok
Secret?
Yep!
No1 isn't a secret.
It's just badly incorporated
What a dead and boring city if these are the “hidden secrets”
It's just a bit of fun.. dont' worry about it
Exactly.
I knew of the third secret, jew lane, but do you know how it got its name. Well that's easy, it's because it's the tightest lane in sheffield 🤣🤣🤣
Not really a secret tho
It doesn't matter though mate - it's just a bit of fun. Relax 🤣
@@SheffieldVideos quite relaxed, just felt like clickbait for tourists
@@DnB-BMX then what you felt was wrong
so sad that even "secret " places have graffitti !
yes sadly you're right
What are you on about everyone knows about megatron ..!
Incorrect ...!
Most Sheffielders who visit the city know about these places but have no reason to frequent them as there's nothing really down them. Mainly used as short cut walks.
Not true that everyone knows about them
As I have just said about the first two, a waste of money. Isolated and unused for the first one, the second one hardly used (like it used to be along with the first) so a waste of money if no one sees or uses them and the third, a dead end. Wow, how wonderful is that.
@@SheffieldVideos who mentioned everyone? Of course not everyone, read the replies carefully.
I’m a Sheffield born and bred,in 50 s and 60s anybody could walk where they wanted at night ,just shows over the years how so called government have miss managed England so bad ,that kids have to be monitored at all times ,and definitely not let out at night ! What do you think happened ???
Nothing happened other than people's perception of risk changes as they age.
My parents were young adults in the late 50s and early 60s, they’ve told me not much has really changed, there were definitely place you couldn’t go in Sheffield back then.
From my point of view growing up there in the 70s and 80s, the town centre feels safer now than it did then.
Most boring town ever!
We don't do negativity on this channel mate 👍🏻
Sheffied city council has made accessing the city center so difficult for the local population nobody can get into it anymore. As a consequence the lack of commerce has decimated the shops. Now there is no reason to go into the city centre even if you could get in there. That and the Clean Air Zone a.k.a. Clean Air Tax has destroyed our city centre. Shame on you Sheffield City Councel , shame on you!!!!
I was born and brought up in Sheffield, had to leave in order to get a job. So sad as how the city has been hacked into little pieces in order to access it. Bus services wierd now. Visiting Mum in hospital requires taxi services now, no through bus.
Live in Leicester now, has good train access, courtesy of Midland Mainline. Can get to football now, pensioner discount on train fare plus free fare on Supertram. Wednesday also has senior citizen discount, enables me to come. I can now support the Massive. WAWAW
Should re title this "Good places to go and get mugged".
The Don stinks, it is polluted🤣
I stayed in Sheffield for a week to work and I went to a few really good restaurants and the Ecclesall road but I didn't see the places in your video. I'm not only referring to the hidden places but the streets too. I truly enjoyed.
tou obviously know very little about sheffield none of these places are secret and many people use them
I’m living in Sheffield since 2022
Definitely great city i like it more than any cities ❤🎉
Me too! I moved in 2021 and its such a friendly vibrant place :)
YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE.
Every Sheffield person has been down Black Swan Walk once, thinking it would bring them out near the Crucible and left cursing when they realised they'd only gone and made their journey longer.
(Unless they're looking for somewhere to get rekt on spice without being hassled, in which case they'll be a regular)
Lived in Sheffield all 63 years of my life and have never been to those 3 places. Don’t think I’ll be going there soon either. The city isn’t what it used to be. My house is currently on the market and I’m hoping to move away. I go to the city centre once a year and that’s once too often for my liking. 😂
No new discoveries here mate... Are you sure you're a Sheffielder? 😄
Cool comment - honestly
I think in fact that it could be the coolest comment ever posted on the internet
@@SheffieldVideos Cheers dude
46 years born and bred in Sheffield I’ve looked down this lane many times walking past,reminds me of shambles in York but a modern raped one also never did I know about that little snicket Jew lane 👍
What's that secret about? Or just abandoned?
History Why Jew Lane ??
I have been down all 3 of these.
As a kid growing up in Sheffield during the early 80s we many times walked through that last one called Jew lane but never until now knew the name. I can imagine how it got that name too.
Nothing secret about these places...
ok
Thank you for introducing these secrets.
My pleasure!
The secret is to get out as fast as you can .
Not really it’s. Great city
I am glad I discovered the first secret place on my own deslite living in Sheffield for under a year
I think you're being very generous calling them graffiti 'artists'. Just looks like a load of tagging
I didn’t know about Jew Lane🧐 I have walked past the entrance/exit you came out of at the end of this video many times. 😂
Why not mention the turning circle in the lane off chapel walk?
I did it in the longer video I did on that lane David 👍🏻
Sheffield is Green, great and formidable. Happy 23
Thanks, you too!
Usually is its shite.🤪
@@karinajones1121 yes, many area's in Sheffield are unfortunately.
There’s a reason why I don’t go through swans lane and Jew lane cause of thieves and murderous people lurking there.
Sick of murderous people.
All that murdering they do
Ruddy murderers
@@SheffieldVideos reply !!!! 😂😂😂
@@wayneplatts7733 🤣
Why do the black swan and not say the brilliant history of it . Pointless .
It's not about the Black Swan - calm down 🤣
