Im looking at moving into the area and was wondering what it was like, ive visted it several times now and it seems ok.

My daughter will be selling a 3 bedroom house in this area in a few months time. PM me for details if you are interested.

There is nothing there apart from the springs pub and the old dump site.

Thought pub at Normanton Springs had closed, now houses? No shops down there & bus sevice not good either.

bit as an area is it ok?, is the bus service poor as my partner will need it for traveling till she can drive

I don't think area is bad, but as far as i know there is only one bus goes through there which is the 123, it used to be every half hour, not sure if it still is, but it wasn't very reliable when i used to catch it. My be better now though.

The area itself is like everywhere else it has its bad days mostly good! The bus service is a little erratic 123 being the day bus along with 723 at night there is another bus but not sure of number it runs in daytime not sure where it goes! A short walk will get you into the Woodhouse village plenty of busses to choose from there. You could also walk up Dyke(sp) vale rd, To catch a 95 only a short walk. Normanton Springs hasn`t got a shop unless you want a fireplace etc or Printing, but just up the hill towards Woodhouse is a small newsagents opposite the school roughly! The pub has long gone. The main road gets quite busy and the area becomes almost unreachable when it snows due to the hills all round

so other than the bus'e being a bit odd the area is mostly ok? ive got a car so thats not a prob with shopping. Its surly got to be better than living in the centre in a new flat? I was just a bit nervous with me having no knowleadge of the area prior to moving.

My mother and father and law have lived in the Springs for the past 30+ years and wouldn't live anywhere else.

Ok, if it snows you're mostly cut off, but how often does it snow and where in Sheffield don't you get cut off?

Theres no pub or shop within a few minutes walk but its only a 15 minute walk to Woodhouse where theres loads of shops and pubs as well as a Chinese restaurant.

Benefits include everyone is really friendly and the old village mentality still exists. Also, just up the mosborough parkway you're a few minutes drive away from Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre or even Rother Valley or the Derbyshire countryside.

Hiya, iv just moved out of Woodhouse (moved out of parents) over to Hackenthorpe (over the hill!).

I lived just up the road near the corner shop. As an area, Normanton I think it is nice and quiet. The teenagers seem to congrigate up in Woodhouse Village (about 15-20 minutes walk from Normanton) so i dont think you'd have any trouble with them.

Instead of having to walk 15-20 minutes to the village to shop for bits and bats, there is a corner shop just up Coisley Hill.

The bus service is not brilliant. You'v got your 123 (Stagecoach) which are every half hour (when they decide to turn up), 723/732 (First) which run from about 5/6oclock on weekdays until around midnight, and also run at weekends. The 123's do not run on Sundays.

However, the buses which stop in Woodhouse Village are more reliable and you have more of a choice.

Hope this info is of help :)
