ABOUT SHEFFIELD

The town centre is positioned past the top left corner of the map. Keep going that way and you’ll get to West Street which is great for bars and clubs! About a mile to the bottom left you’ll find Ecclesall Road which is also very lively. Around this area you’ll also find the Porter Brook medical centre which you can use to make appointments with a GP.
