A room on Park Hill sets a visitor beside the Crucible Theatre, Ponds Forge and the Millennium Gallery, all three of them listed against the same estate on the record. The flats themselves are homes. Paradise Square, Arundel Street and Bank Street carry the numbered entries on the register, and Bank Street Arts and the Site Gallery stand among them.
Norfolk Park keeps the name of the old deer park.
