Paradise Square
Paradise Square is a Georgian square in the City of Sheffield, England. Located to the northwest of Sheffield Cathedral, the square is set on a slope and was formerly used for public meetings.
==History==
Paradise Square was built in the 18th century on the site of ''Hicks' stile-field'', the stile being one of the entrances to the church-yard.〔Leader, ''Sheffield in the Eighteenth Century'', p. 256〕 The reason for the choice of the name ''Paradise Square'' is uncertain, but local historians R. E. Leader and S. O. Addy speculated that it may be an allusion to the ancient use of ''Paradise'' or ''Parvis'' as the name for a garden or enclosed space near a church.〔Leader, ''Sheffield in the Eighteenth Century'', pp. 210–211.〕 The area acquired the nickname ''Pot Square'' when crockery vendors were moved here from the High Street in around 1808.〔〔"Paradise Square" in Jackson, ''Paradise Square'', pp. 7–14〕
