Artworks commissioned to complement improvements to Spital Hill and Ellesmere Green are nearing completion with two new metal sculptures expected to be installed by the middle of October.
The sculptures, resembling gigantic knotted ropes or lengths of string, will occupy Caborn's Corner on Spital Hill (outside Tesco's), and the area next to Vestry Hall.
Sculptor Michael Johnson is hoping to incorporate objects collected from local traders into the metal surfaces.
Photographic artworks, produced last year by Richard Hanson and illustrator Fabric Lenny and already a familiar sight along the length of Savile Street, have recently been installed across hoardings on Spital Hill following the completion of pavement improvements.
The panels feature many recognisable faces, including local shopkeepers, hairdressers, mechanics and Burngreave librarian Janet Ring, who is pictured with her arms full of books facing the entrance to the library.
