The street was one of the earliest in Sheffield, and was the location of the town's markets, first mentioned in 1296. [2] It later became known for the sale of hay, from which its name arose. Norfolk Market Hall opened in 1851 and was in operation until 1959. [3] [ unreliable source? ] [4] Prior to the market, The Tontine Inn was on the site. [5] After its demolition, shops were constructed to a design by Thomas and Peter H. Braddock, initially with balcony access to shops above, although these proved unsuccessful. [2]
The west side of the street is lined with shops in a variety of styles. Harman and Minnis mention 25 Haymarket, demolished in 2024, built as simple houses in the early 19th century but with elaborate half-timbering and a bellcote added in the 20th century; 21 Haymarket designed by Arthur Davy in a moderne style, with a staircase tower; 17 Haymarket with a 19th-century stucco facade; and 13–15 Haymarket, a late Georgian building which previously operated as the Brunswick pub. [2] On the east side is the Grade II listed former post office 2 Haymarket. [1] [6]
