The water cascade and fountain were built as part of a major redevelopment of the square outside Sheffield Railway Station.
All of the new pavements and walling are crafted in natural
stone, the most common is the Crosland Hill Yorkstone used in
highway paving and throughout the whole cascade water
feature, designed by RPDT. Each of the 426 cascades run over
carved weir stones that have been hand finished by Yorkshire
Craftsmen from Johnsons Wellfield quarries of Huddersfield,
each carefully bedded and levelled by Vetter UK stonemasons
to maintain water flow symmetry.
