Coles Corner is the name given to the corner of Fargate and Church Street in Sheffield, England in sight of the cathedral. It was the site of the old Cole Brothers department store before they moved to Barker's Pool in 1963. The modern building built in stead of Coles Corner was occupied by Midland Bank and now by HSBC. The name is still remembered by many Sheffielders of a certain age as the place to meet one's date. A plaque put up by the Rotary Club now marks the spot and ensures its history is not forgotten.

[edit] The Album

It has been immortalised in song by Richard Hawley on his 2005 single and Mercury Music Prize nominated album of the same name.
