About
The Peace Gardens sit in front of Sheffield Town Hall, with the Goodwin Fountain at the centre and the Holberry Cascades running round the edge, meant to echo the city's rivers and molten steel. On hot days children love running through the fountain jets. Look out for the Bochum Bell and the Hiroshima memorial.
