Smithfield Yard
Updated 3 years ago
Simthfield Yard is currently occupied by a surface level car park and the listed Butcher's Building and is bounded by Winetavern Street, Gresham Street and North Street. Historically, the site had an continuous frontage and the centre of the site operated as a bus station. The introduction of CasteCourt in the 1980s resulted in the majority of the street pattern being blocked off. This part of the city centre has suffered from significant blight and under-investment since then. This resulted in many of the buildings being demolished and occupied by a surface level car park since the 1980s.
