(A) Here you will find fountains, the City Hall (a concert venue) and the War Memorial. Barkers Pool was known as Balm Green until 1434. It was originally a collecting point for a number of natural springs, and later developed into a major area for industry and retail. By the middle of the 19th century it’s role changed as industry moved to larger premises and was replaced by more culturally orientated buildings (http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/out--about/city-centre/public-spaces/barkers-pool-).
