The carving over the door of 23 Chapel Walk reads Howard Gallery .During the 1890's the block of buildings comprising No. 9 Fargate and Nos. 1;3;5;7;9 Chapel Walk was a high class grocery establishment (The Provision Stores) run by A.H.Holland. His son Alwyn Holland, was an artist and architect. Part of the adjacent premises housed for a number of years the New Howard Gallery , as it was called in 1898 when the Sheffield Society of Artists held its 24th annual exhibition there. The Gallery was also used for recitals of chamber music. 1907 Directory still records it in use as a Gallery but by 1910 it is not listed and by 1913 was occupied by British Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and as a Billiard Hall run by Thomas Monkman (after 1916 Hibbert Brothers).
