- This is about the shopping street in Sheffield. For the Quarter, see The Moor Quarter. For the novel by Laurie R. King, see The Moor (novel). For other uses, see Moor (disambiguation).
The Moor is a primary pedestrianised thoroughfare and one of the main shopping streets of Sheffield, England. Along its length lie some of the most popular department stores and it is seen as one of the primary retail cores of the city centre. The street was originally named Sheffield Moor, then in the early nineteenth century was renamed "South Street",[1] but was again renamed in order to avoid confusion with a South Street near Hyde Park. The shops along it were rebuilt in the 1950s following damage in World War II and pedestrianised in the early 1980s with market stalls now occupying the former roadway.
The Moor stretches from Furnival Way, Moorhead to the north to Cumberland Way, Moorfoot to the south, where the former Moorfoot Building blocks the route on to London Road.
In 2008, it was announced that responsibility for the redevelopment of the Moor had passed from RREEF to Artisan.
Castle Market is due to move to the southern end of The Moor.

The Moor Quarter
The Moor Quarter is one of Sheffield's eleven designated quarters, built around and named for The Moor, a pedestrianised thoroughfare. It is bound by Furnival Gate in the north-east, Eyre Street in the south-east, St Mary's Gate to the south, and Moore Street and Charter Row to the north-west.
It is primarily a retail location, with the city's main market now located in the quarter. There are also some offices at Charter Row and Moorfoot. Owners Scottish Widows Investment Partnership have a long-term redevelopment plan for The Moor to increase the retail, commercial and residential capacity of the quarter to improve its nightlife, and in the short-term to house the relocated markets from the Castlegate Quarter. It benefits from a good location, centrally between the Devonshire Quarter, Cultural Industries Quarter, Heart of the City and London Road and Ecclesall Road shops. It is also close to the proposed Sevenstone development.
The monolithic Moorfoot Building is at the south-west end of the Moor. It previously housed central British government departments, but is now used by Sheffield City Council.
The Moor (The Borgias)
"The Moor" is the third episode of the Showtime-Bravo! series The Borgias. It was written by series creator Neil Jordan and directed by Simon Cellan Jones. It originally aired on April 10, 2011.
The episode deals with Cardinal della Rovere's having fled to the kingdom of Naples in fear for his life, and in search of support for his plot to depose the Pope. In Rome, the Pope attempts to find a suitable husband for Lucrezia, and takes in a Prince from Constantinople.
Plot
Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere (Colm Feore) arrives in Naples and is given an audience with King Ferrante (Joseph M. Kelly) and Prince Alfonso (Augustus Prew). When the Pope (Jeremy Irons) learns of his arrival in Naples, he asks his son Cesare (François Arnaud) if he knows of someone who could kill the Cardinal. della Rovere and Alfonso discuss deposing the Pope, with della Rovere offering to recognize the independence of Naples (from the claims of Spain and France), should he be elected Pope when Alexander is deposed. Alfonso is not convinced, as he believes Naples is already a proven free kingdom. He takes della Rovere to a dining room, where King Ferrante had his enemies stuffed and put on display, as a warning to anyone who would cross him.

The Moor
by: OpethThe sigh of summer upon my return
Fifteen alike since I was here
Bathed in deep fog, blurring my trail
Snuffing the first morning rays
Weary from what might have been ages
Still calm with my mind at peace
Would I prosper or fall, drain the past
The lapse of the moment took it's turn
I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith
Wearing my death-mask at birth
The hands of God, decrepit and thin
Cold caress and then nothing
I was taken away from my plight
A treason bestowed to the crowd
Branded a jonah with fevered blood
Ungodly freak, defiler
Pale touch, writhing in the embers
Damp mud burning in my eyes
All the faces turned away
And all would sneer at my demise
Outcast with dogmas forged below
Seared and beaten, banished from where I was born
No mercy would help me on my way
In the pouring rain nothing is the same
Vows in ashes
I pledge myself to no-one
Seethed and spiteful
All shudder at the call of my name
If you'll bear with me
You'll fear of me
There is no forgiveness in these eyes
For any of you but one
Dispel the mist for now
Melinda is the reason why I've come
She is waterdrops over the pyre
A thistle in my hands
Stained and torn, aged and brown
Virtous shell with kindred innocense
I awoke from the miasma
Passing swiftly through the moor
This is here, waters stir
And in the distance all that was lost
If you'll bear with me
You'll fear of me
You'd never leave me to
A fate with you
