What is the most populated area in sheffield, for me it would be Crookes, it looks like people are packed in like sardines.

I'd agree with Crookes, the houses couldn't possibly be any closer together.

And the majority of the population of Crookes is students.

Moving there in 2 weeks.. one more for the tin :P

I doubt it is Crookes. By "most populated" I presume you mean population density, e.g. amount of people per square km, otherwise it wouldn't be a fair test because some areas are larger than others. Crookes doesn't have any high rise tower blocks, although it does have a lot of shared terraced houses. I'd have thought there were more densely populated areas than Crookes though.

Such as certain parts of S11? :rolleyes:

the land lords would make bedrooms out of the cupboards if they thought they could get away with it for another £45+ per week per student/cupboard....

my advice to students is to find property that isn't on the student market where you can rent the house rather than pay per person living there, last year we paid nearly £1000 for a three bed, 1 box and a living room bedroom per month... i'm sure you can get a pretty decent house for that moneoy on the private market!

anyhow this is prob why crookes is so densley populated.

I would go for Sharrow/Hunters Bar, not only student houses but a lot of extended famillys as well.
I rent out property in Crookes and you would be suprised how many of the small terraced houses contain only1 -2 professionals.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that wasn't yet another silly, immature and imbecilic dig at me, since even you're not stupid enough to think Ecclesall is densely populated, so if you mean Sharrow then possibly you could be right. Sharrow has rows of terraced housing and tower block flats to boot.

In terms of constituences, Sheffield Hallam is the least densely populated (in which most of S11 lies). 16% of the land in Sheffield is populated by the 10% who live in Sheffield Hallam. As for the most densely populated constituency, I can't remember off hand.

PS. What happened to "quality not quantity", Rich? Maybe you should learn to practise what you preach. Troll.

perhaps the students need not go out of the student market, just find better landlords, like the one i work for?

As a resident of Heeley, I would have thought that my neighbouring cousin, Meersbrook, was in with a shout for the title.

Terraced houses are close together yes, but compared to the tower block flats their population density is low.

I live Just off Queens Road by the B&Q Warehouse, what area does that put me in???

That's Highfield :) I used to live there, it's alright, but shame for those flats on Charlotte Rd.

Heeley, I live near there too.

I would say Hunters Bar and the back streets off Ecclesall Road have a large population. A mate of mine sold his house near Hunters Bar last year, most people would have called it a terrace house, but the estate agent called it a "victorian villa" :0)

I read something somewhere that said that terraced housing can actually get more people on the same land than tower blocks, something to do with how far apart tower blocks have to be causing them to take up more land.

I think for a smallish area, the housing around Exeter Drive in Broomhall is the most densly populated. It has low rise maisonettes, a high rise block and terraces and terraces of shared housing, all crammed into that little corner of Sheffield that no-one really goes through.

I'd have to say either Woodseats or Hunters Bar. Although, given the amount of student houses in the latter I'd have to say the population in that area drops somewhat out of term time.

I was brought up in Highfields, as it used to be known, and it encompassed just the small area around the junction of Abbeydale Rd. and London Rd. I think the Charlotte road area might have been known as St. Mary's but it's fallen out of use.

We now live in a low density area...just five other properties within a half-mile radius, much more peaceful than Ecclesall, Fulwood or Dore :P

Firvale / Page Hall?

Small terraced houses often occupied by extended Asian families.

when you actually post things to each other, to people in Sheff. do you include the area name.

I.e

"My relative"
House Number,
Road
WALKLEY
Sheffield
Yorkshire
S6 XXX


However , before I just put the street and Sheff. Yorks.

"My relative"
xxxxxxxx Lane
Sheffield
Yorkshire
S11 XXX

It's not as if the district/area is going to get the post to the person any quicker.

An "outsider" is unlikely to put Hakenthorpe, Banner Cross, Nether Edge, Ecclesall, HB. (Or whatever district/area it is).

Just a quick couple of questions:

Isn't Sharrow S7 prefix?
Also, which parts of NE are S7, I've always thought it to be S11.

If you look at this map here : http://www.blundells.co.uk/search.asp - it gives you a rough idea of the post code boundaries. As you can see, S11 covers from the edge of Derbyshire right up to the city centre, ranging from Whirlow to Sharrow. Running all the way through it is Ecclesall Road and Ecclesall Road South, which as you can see must be a very long road so you can understand why I get annoyed at people assuming anything on Ecclesall Road = Ecclesall, when Ecclesall is actually miles away.

To answer the second point, Nether Edge is mainly, if not all, S7. As far as I know it runs up to Brincliffe, which is mainly S11.

Cheers for the info, interestingly this area Parson Cross (S5) isn't on that map.

It is. S5 is just North of the city centre.
