Meadowhall is situated next to the M1 Motorway , between Sheffield and Rotherham, in the shadow of the Tinsley Viaduct . It forms the end of the Five Weirs Walk . As the region's main shopping and leisure centre its popularity continues to grow and a large expansion is currently ( 2004 ) planned. Meadowhall can be extremely busy in the run-up to Christmas , and the January Sales . In extreme cases it has been known to have a One In-one Out Policy on some stores. This has contributed to it being nicknamed "Meadowhell" and "Murderall". One of Meadowhall's largest stores, Sainsbury's , closed in mid- 2005 , which diverted some customers to other local shopping areas. In December 2005 it became the home to the fifth Apple Store in the UK. There is a satellite development called the Meadowhall Retail Park, which stands between the Sheffield Arena and Meadowhall, containing stores such as Toys R Us and PC World . Meadowhall also has a Transport Interchange which include rail, bus and Tram facilites, located at Meadowhall Interchange . It is surrounded on all the other sides by car parks and even has its own Ring Road . There once was a radio station called Meadowhall Radio which ran from 1993 to 1998 and gave regular traffic updates. REFERENCES Meadowhall case study EXTERNAL LINKS |
