Just thought this might be an interesting topic!

I have been born and bread in the S6 area of Sheffield (Stannington Hillsborough) for those of you who don't know. There are so many damn good things about this area that i honestly can't imagine living anywere else :D

So im going to list some of the best things

All my sound mates/family/people i just know by seein round -big up!!
The stunnin countryside thats so close even in Hillsborough - nothin like heading out towards Bradfield/Strines on my mountain bike on a sunny day
The pubs - what would we do without them - Rawson,Peacock,Top House,Minnies,Masons,Shakie,Plough,Nags Head,Royal,Strines,Old Horns
The buzz that you get around christmas,bonfire night etc - everyone seems to really get into the spirit of things
Everyone knows each other - if u r local.
Some other parts of Sheff have started to have the sort of atmosphere you get down Sarf - that quiet/stuck up aloof vibe.
It isnt over run with people you see one day and never see again - people are proud to be from S6!!!!
THE OWLS OF COURSE!!!!

Come on then - share your thoughts on how good S6 is!!!

:D

There's plenty of roads that lead out of it.......

Shame the council can't fix some of them.

s6 well it has its good and bad areas ya know!!

Having actually lived "down Sarf" (as opposed to watching Eastenders and once going on a coach trip to London Zoo) you'd be supprised to learn that most of London is as ordinary as Sheffield.
The most stuck-up/aloof people you tend to meet are the ten-bob-millionairs from "up North"

Just because you have been barred from The Dore Moor Inn.

Too right - most of its gud tho :D

Most people at Dungworth have 6 fingers and engage in strange rituals involving rubber gloves on All Hallows Eve.

(You not be from round these 'ere parts).

I have been born and bread

Bread!!!! Do you live near Fletchers bakery.

Bread!!!! Do you live near Fletchers bakery.

I like it!! nah - used to walk past there most days though and it used to smell gorgeous of donuts!!!

I lived in Sheffield 6 for 18 years and when I got the chance I hot footed it out of there!!
Best bits of S6 - the countryside around and the roads to get away from S6!
Wisewood School - great school, crap area.
Hillsborough - horrible little area with crap pubs.

I can only thank myself for becoming an urbanite and leaving behind the surburbanites!

Im very interested about why you disliked the S6 area so much...............?

gud

gorgeous

I'm confused as to how you can spell/be bothered to type "gorgeous" but can't spell/be bothered to type "good", a much shorter word ?

You edited that rather quick there nick2...
I saw what you put the first time and chuckled... :hihi:

Anyway, on topic of S6,

My OH was born up there, and I moved up there when I was 17..
My nan has lived up there for years, so I knew the area as a kid too..

We were sad to leave, but it was a case of needs must as we just couldn't afford to buy the bigger house we needed up Stannington.. :(

Im very interested about why you disliked the S6 area so much...............?

Just think its grotty - my personal opinion, viewed a terrace there for 128k - whole street was double parked, didnt like it. I like totley, woodseats etc side of town

Can i please ask that you DON'T pm me abuse either - people don't have to love everything and everywhere you know

Just think its grotty.........I like woodseats

LOL !

S6 is grotty but Woodseats isn't.

Personal opinion may i stress....just know where id rather spend my cash to live

Im very interested about why you disliked the S6 area so much...............?

Being a Blade in a school full of Midweek fans didn't help, as a teenager I couldn't stand the way people would look at you as though you were alien for daring to be different to everybody else - I was a raver(!) so coming home in the early hours always had the neigbours noseying. The crap bus service one No. 65 an hour, the crap pubs and the fact that every time I went down Hillsborough trouble wasn't far away.
To be honest I found too many upper working class people trying to be middle class and looking down their noses at me Pa & Ma, just cause they were a truck driver and a shop assistant.
Am so glad I moved out as a Teenager and got me own place away from the numpties...

Woodseats is just one road, Chesterfield Road, and a couple of side roads, S6 is a big area and encompasses, Walkley, Hillsborough, Stannington, most of Upperthorpe (although anything beyond Tesco is mostly classed as S3).

Until just over a year ago I lived in S6 (Lower Walkley) for nearly 20 years and when the Socials asked me what area I wanted to live in when I moved out of home, I said preferably in S6 but fine as long as it's this end of Town, definitely not S2.

Woodseats is S8 and S8 also covers Woodseats, Norton, Lowedges,Greenhill , Meadowhead,,Norton lees And i think Batemoor and Jordo

i love livin here rivelin valley just down the hill, city centre only 20 mins away (95 service gettin bit c**p tho)

(You not be from round these 'ere parts).

im from dungworth *counts fingers* nope ive definately got 5 fingers :hihi:

Don't forget S6 also includes Walkley - in fact S6 extends as far as the bottom of Barber Road on the side the Hadfield's on - only a few hundred yards from the University.

It's not as good as S10. :hihi: ;)

I live in S6, it's okay I suppose.

If you like having no where to park, noisy and lots of traffic, small garden and a silly off shot kitchen you couldn't swing a cat in, Hillsborough has an unpleasant feel to it on a Friday/Saturday night, although it's okay during the day.

It is conveniently close to town and it has some nice countryside near it, but there are many nicer areas that can boast the same benefits.
I'd rather live out of the city altogether though, villages are far more pleasant than urban/sub-urban areas.

No, Woodseats is part of S8, not all of S8. :)

Oh I was born in wadsley
I've been hear 20 years
I love the friendly people
And I love the local beers

I love the pleasant countryside
The way it clears my head
I love sheffield wednesday
And the smell of fletchers bread

I love to go da'an hillsboro'
To do me christmas shop
I love to visit hillsboro' baths
And do a belly flop

But most of all in hillsboro'
The thing I love the most...
Is waking up in my own bed
To the smell of toast.

I'm going to give a mention to Owlerton aswell because everyone usually forgets about it.
Great place to live in my opinion.

im from dungworth *counts fingers* nope ive definately got 5 fingers :hihi:

Normal people have four....and a thumb :P

Sheffield 6. ? Lovely, friendly, chatty people, and near to the green belt. Who could ask for anything more ? :)

I moved to Hillsborough 2 years ago, having lived in several different places before coming to Sheffield. As a mature, older person, these are my perceptions....

Good points: Its nice and near Rivelin Valley, my street's not double parked, its very convenient for town, and I prefer trams to buses. The Walled Garden is a hidden gem, the park is generally well kept and people I've met through the Residents' Association care about the area. People nod and say good morning! I also like the small shops like Manns, the fabric shop, and the craft shop on Dixon Rd.

Bad points: The state of the corner is a disgrace, although the weir could be attractive, without the odd car tyre and shopping trolley. Places like Legends, the fag ends all round the Co-op entrance, and the lack of a real alternative to Morrisons. The tags on every available surface are unsightly, and most of the pavements are like patchwork.

No, Woodseats is part of S8, not all of S8. :)

Thats what i was saying :)

It was him comparing woodseats with s6 ;)

Maybe i didn't word it right :confused:

I see what you mean now so i have edited the previous post :)

S6 is great. As someone pointed out, our roads ain't so clever as the council for whatever reason doesn't maintain them, despite us paying far more then most postcodes on average, but other than a bumpy ride it's a super area and I think the largest in the city.

yes I agree with Ms Macbeth, the state of Hillsborough corner is shocking.There seemed to be some progress being made today though with the new flats and shops, which have be boarded up for years.

S11. Whirlow. I cant imagine living anywhere else in Sheffield to be honest.

Sheffield 6. ? Lovely, friendly, chatty people, and near to the green belt. Who could ask for anything more ? :)

Most of S6 is green belt...and a lot of it is in the Peak National Park ;)

Well quite. Their are foul bits but they are tiny percentage.

Hillsborough is a bit of a dump to be fair. S11 is by far the best place to live in Sheff. Friendly well mannered folk, great amenities, great schools, minutes from countryside etc etc.

absolutely agree. If you can duck past the loud student types loitering in tescos, and avoid the orange mutton-dressed-as-lamb lurking by nonnas, then S11 is a lovely area to live. Great shops, nice atmosphere, quality take aways and some nice restaurants...nowhere else comes remotely close:)

S6 - hilly, narrow car clogged roads, no trees, ramshackle crumbling student terraces, dingy, dark, locals only pubs.

Not the worst area, but far from the best!

Sounds more like you have a class grudge than an area problem, and I would assume that if your neighbors were being noisey when you came in from a rave at 4:30 or whatever time you appeared in the morning, maybe you were being a bit too loud and woke them from their slumber.
Do your parents still live in s6?
I have lived in and around Loxey / Wisewood all my life and can honestly say I wouldn't move.

Well I'm in S6 and look out onto open fields, Rivelin Valley and plenty of trees. There are no ramshackle crumbling houses anywhere in view. Don't know which parts of S6 you've been to but obviously not all of them.

Now now Chipmunk, dont take this personally! One has to make a generalisation, and i've seen enough of Walkley / surroundings to be happy with mine..

I live in S6 and i'm on the border of Grenoside, all I see is fields, quite roads, farm animals etc, now if your on about Hillsborough and not the whole S6 postcode, then that is a bit of a dump, but I prefer where I live now to when I lived in S11 with the noise, piles of sick on pavements, loads more run down houses, Ecclesall rd(which in a morning was a nightmare) just to name a few issues!!

I used to come home at 7/8am an no I wasn't noisy, just neigbours, who where the most nosey folks I've ever met! I dont have a class grudge, more the other people who looked down their noses at us(?) My Ma & Pa are the hard working sort and didn't deserve the contempt some of the neighbours held because they had pulled themselves up the ladder to provide for their family.

My parents still live in S6 but not at the same house I grew up in, honestly that road was horrible, but where they live now in S6 is a lot nicer. I like their house but I still dislike the area.

If you went to Wisewood (like me) and your around the same age a me, Wisewood yes was mainly Wednesday but it also had it's fair few Unitedites, all sound lads and I still knock about with them now and there still living in S6 all had varied backgrounds.....maybe you were just an oddball

Wisewood was/is a good school, I just found that the mates I wanted to knock about with went to other schools, discovering The Limit whilst in the last year of school was far more interesting than hanging about on the shops.
Maybe I am an oddball, but I'd rather be a little odd than follow the herd, I prefer individualistic.

S11. Whirlow. I cant imagine living anywhere else in Sheffield to be honest.

Bet your a top bloke to go for a pint with.....:hihi:

When did you leave I left in 1988, and was in the Limit most fri/sat from 89 through to it closing, were you in the year that left in 1990, I know loads from that year all sound lads

Yes, I left in 1990, most of the people in my year were sound, I made friends from other schools who were more fun to be with than the peeps I went to school with. CJ's, Limit, Palais, Techno City - happy days!

I still prefer living in the city, maybe when i'm old I'll want to move to the suburbs, but for now the urban environment is good for me.

Going to have to agree with this! Anyone that can make sweeping generalisations about individuals based on where they are from is either a bigot or not very well travelled!

Tinsley oh dear thats too close to meadowhell that is :hihi: our lass would lov it and i would be skint lol, im from the wiseOWLS side of the city:hihi:

No, although I might know you, I lived in Wadsley, people thought where I lived was snobby, but I had plenty mates off Wisewood, all done well for themselves and were all still mates today
If you caught the 65, maybe round Vainor or somewhere

You're not t020's brother by any chance? He thinks S11 (particularly Eccleshall) is teh bee's knees as well!

eccleshall is in staffordshire, not even the same post code county!

and for the record, i like hillsborough, i wouldnt have bought a house here else!

i recognise that it has its downsides, but for me personally, the upsides far outweigh them. and the good work done by local residents, committees and partnerships has improved the area in the last 2 and a half years ive been living here.

people arent just settling for second best, they are actively trying to change the area for the better.

Your right, around Vainor, an it was snobby.
I've no doubt that the lads you knew from Wisewood have done well, just the area I didn't like, I still see a couple o guys from Wisewood at the match an there sound.

I dont get what the problem is with Wisewood I know loads of ppl from up there and they are all sound apart from one in particular.... who u will know doubt know

Paranoid Time - well I moved away 15 years ago so i hope you don't mean me!!!!! ha ha ha :D

I lived in S6 (Rivelin Valley) and also S8 (woodseats then meersbrook) and loved both areas. Good shops in woodseats / hillsborough. Preffered the pubs up in Stannington than the ones in hillsborough but the pubs in woodseats were ok. transport in either area was similar i.e. long jams in rush hour

Bet your a top bloke to go for a pint with.....:hihi:

Why wouldn't he be?

Hillsborough is nice enough.

Well, it is until the Sun goes down. Everthing changes when the Sun goes down.

The initials mean nowt to me I'm afraid, maybe he can Pm me?
An whos the bad Mo Fo from Wisewood?!!

hmmm, i live in upperthorpe, between infirmary rd and penistone rd. the last few weeks have seen marijuana factories busted, three year old kid dead in local pub, old man battered to death on langsett rd, woman thrown to her death out of flats window, my friends car broken into twice, our bins set on fire causing damage to my row of houses, local shop ram raided.....could go on but won't. S6 is not that great.:loopy:

Just thought this might be an interesting topic!

I have been born and bread in the S6 area of Sheffield (Stannington Hillsborough) for those of you who don't know. There are so many damn good things about this area that i honestly can't imagine living anywere else :D

So im going to list some of the best things

All my sound mates/family/people i just know by seein round -big up!!
The stunnin countryside thats so close even in Hillsborough - nothin like heading out towards Bradfield/Strines on my mountain bike on a sunny day
The pubs - what would we do without them - Rawson,Peacock,Top House,Minnies,Masons,Shakie,Plough,Nags Head,Royal,Strines,Old Horns
The buzz that you get around christmas,bonfire night etc - everyone seems to really get into the spirit of things
Everyone knows each other - if u r local.
Some other parts of Sheff have started to have the sort of atmosphere you get down Sarf - that quiet/stuck up aloof vibe.
It isnt over run with people you see one day and never see again - people are proud to be from S6!!!!
THE OWLS OF COURSE!!!!

Come on then - share your thoughts on how good S6 is!!!

:D

I think you'll find its s36 thats the best area lol.

There's nothing wrong with Wisewood IMO, it's mostly full of Pensioners, like my Nan.

Were you there mate? Or were you one of the nosey neighbours?
I didn't live on Vainor, another road nearby, but Im not giving clues as to who I am.
And it was a little snobby (just read what Sheffbloke typed) - the road I lived on, was so glad when me Ma & Pa moved to a different road.
Other people have other experiances. Unless you were our snobby neigbour (who was a housewife an thought she was the muts nuts because of her husbands job.)?

I like living in S6 but the pubs are terrible. They have a feel of 'unless you were born in Sheffield you can sod off' about them (apart from 1 gem - Hillsborough Hotel, excellent!)

Now now Chipmunk, dont take this personally! One has to make a generalisation, and i've seen enough of Walkley / surroundings to be happy with mine..


No, not taking it personally, just making a point. Be careful with generalisations - if anybody took a general view of your posts they might think you were an uncaring, selfish, snob whereas that probably isn't true at all :suspect:

I like living in S6 but the pubs are terrible. They have a feel of 'unless you were born in Sheffield you can sod off' about them (apart from 1 gem - Hillsborough Hotel, excellent!)

New Barrack aint so bad either.

s6 - can't say i like it to be honest- crap pubs, dodgy takeaways and some of the traffic problems are terrible.

Your nan is full of pensioners ?

No, fool. I was just mentioning my Nan as an example of a Pensioner who lives in Wisewood! :rant: :loopy:

Hmm, so all those boarded up shops, cheap Pound land style shops, the fighting on a Friday, Saturday and many week nights along with the terrible one way system, no where to park on match days and the general un-cleanliness of the area is a sign of how good it is, is it? Sounds like Hackney would you be dream place to live in that case.

I have lived in S6 most of my life on and off. Next week we will be moving to S10. The main reason for this is I feel the bit Of S6 we live in is not the area it used to be. I was looking at the local shops and buildings in general around the area and they seem run down and shabby, there seems to be a bunch of youths looking menacing on every corner. and the nice feel of comunity it used to have seems to have gone :(
I will be sad to leave the area I spent most of my life in behind, but also glad my kid's will not be growing up in it

Yeah, there's loads of little scrubbas round here messing around with fireworks whilst they play that 'rep your postcode' game on the streets.

lol @ jealousy.

I will be sad to leave the area I spent most of my life in behind, but also glad my kid's will not be growing up in itNo and neither is S10 what it used to be.We lived in Fulwood for many years when it was great and the schools were good,but like lots of the S10 code,it is fast filling up with pretentious chav types,and was far more boring than where we have moved to, the older village part of Stannington which we find we really like! but I have to admit that once you get below the Sportsman Pub some parts of S6 seem like a different world,and would agree with some of your comments!.............However we shall not be moving back to S10!

Well I think I'll take the risk, I have not noticed too many pretentious chavs on the many visit's I have made to the area we are going to, I do not think I have seen any at all. Infact I think we will be quite happy there

S11. Whirlow. I cant imagine living anywhere else in Sheffield to be honest.

Jolly good old chap ;)

Pretentious C words? PMSL! Most of them aren't pretentious, they can't spell it for a start! :lol:

Pretentious C words? PMSL! Most of them aren't pretentious, they can't spell it for a start! :lol:

Lol no, but they like to strut around like they are! there are loads of them round here at the moment.

I am sure you will be,and wish you all the best!
Thankyou :) More than anything it's for the children, I do not want them to grow up becoming involved in the local postcode gang who seem to be trashing the area at the moment

why does it matter which bit you live in as its all great
WE HAVE THE BEST COUNTY YORKSHIRE

Thankyou :) More than anything it's for the children, I do not want them to grow up becoming involved in the local postcode gang who seem to be trashing the area at the moment

I really like Crosspool, my friend lives there, I hope Tapton School doesn't reflect all the youngsters who go there. The pupils using the 51 bus are no credit to their school, but they don't live in S10. Perhaps the local youngsters are better behaved than those travelling into the area for their 'education'. :suspect:

Too many immigrants being bused in from other areas of the city!many not interested in learning. We eventually had to take our son out of his local school and put him into private education..............costly, but well worth the sacrifice!

Jolly good old chap ;)

Cheers, Its better than living down the Manor or Jordanthorpe.

Fair enough, if your happy to settle for second best then thats your choice.

Come on then - share your thoughts on how good S6 is!!!

S6 probably has the finest public firework display in the region...

and it's at Owlerton Stadium on Sunday evening 28th October 2007.

mossgod, that is an awful comment you made.

mossgod, that is an awful comment you made.

You think he should sacrifice his child on the alter of "homeboy".?

**** that. Decent people look after their kids.

mossgod, that is an awful comment you made.

Why is it?

Probably because as an isolated comment it stinks of prejudice. As if there are no trouble native children and no hard working immigrant children.

,and you have first hand experience of the school ?I bet not, but I guess you are the type that typically likes to get on your political evangelical soapbox and spout an, all things to all people answer that solves nothing,"stinks of prejudice" you say!(you would love to call it"racist"! Yes?.....whatever).Some of us have to live in the real world. We have more than enough homegrown bad behavior,but do we need to keep importing more!extricate yourself from your leftie stronghold in Walkley and go learn something of the behavior problems of the school mentioned, and where it's mostly coming from,then come back and talk some practical common sense!
By the way,...........how do you find the time in todays world to write nearly 17,000 posts over such a relatively short space of time?..............just curious! lots of us would like to know.

mossgod, that is an awful comment you made.Mossgod!!.................I like it!
Incidentally, why do you think it an awful comment?

If you look at the housing in Woodseats and in Hillsbororugh you'll find that they are very simular also are the prices approximately, when I do work in those houses the people are the same, the kids are the same, the mentality is the same Straight away it's a down to earth working class mentality, "do you want a cuppa?", people who like a pint, go shopping at the bottom of the road everyday kind of thing.

Some who have shall we say different lives who live in more outreached places where there aren't the same selection of pubs and shops tend to live differently and mix differently like there's no local pub and do a weekly shop because there isn't a decent local shop to go to.

To go by a postcode is wrong because the postcodes are so big, but you may find our great city is like 2 cities but a mirror image of itself there's the good, the bad and the ugly at either side.

Having had a child at Tapton I think mossdog is spot on. The buses were bad enough as there was nobody to keep the kids under control (and yes, they did act like animals!). Nobody is saying 'native' children never cause trouble or that there are no hardworking immigrant children, but you will find that the majority of trouble caused at Tapton, particularly on the buses, is by immigrants.

Hmm this would explain why my eldest could not get a place at Tapton, we are moving into the catchment area and he has to stay at Myers Grove. Just out of curiosity how far afield do they buss them in from?

Mogadisu and some Kurdish backwater probably

Let's be honest - if a stranger to Sheffield (as I once was) drove along Rivelin Valley Road or Loxley Road in the sunshine, they wouldn't know if they were in S6 or S10.

The nicest areas of S6 - Bradfield, Loxley, parts of Stannington, Storrs, Dungworth - are easily comparable with areas of S10 and S11. The schools are as good (Bradfield is on a par with Tapton, King Ted's and High Storrs) and the countryside is arguably better. And Walkley (S6) has no more crumbling terraces or loud students than Crookes (S10).

It's often snob value which makes people drift to S10 and S11 - and more fool them, because they are the ones paying the comedy house prices.

Parts of Hillsborough and Stannington let the side down. I don't know what on earth they are doing with Hillsborough Corner but it makes the whole area look a lot rougher than it is - something finally seems to be happening with the building there, but then I thought that this time last year.

There's a problem too, it seems, with getting businesses to open up in Hillsborough, even though it is a thriving and bustling shopping suburb. Maybe the companies who can afford to locate there just don't want to be in Hillsborough - it does still have a bit of an image problem. Being near the football ground doesn't help.

Good post until the bit about the football ground, I think you'll find this brings a lot of money and buisness into the area.

S10'ers prefer to pretend Crookes isnt part of S10...!

Of course its not snob value you fool. S10 / S11 has much better connections with the rest of the city than Bradfield / Dungworth (where??) / Stannington - and you dont have to risk travelling through Hillsborough to get there.

How dare you call me a fool. I should have known better than to try to post a reasoned, evidence-based contribution on here.... :roll:

Another thing - pretty soon, when the boundaries change, Stannington Ward is going to be part of Hallam constituency. Means it will have even more in common with S10 and S11.

And Crookes is S10. Like it or not. Deal with it.

And look, I take people's point about the football ground and I'm well aware of how long it's been there. But I think my point still stands.

Evidence based? Schmevidence based. Excluding the bit about schools which you may (or may not) be able to produce figures for, the rest was just your opinions.

Stannington is a nightmare to get to whichever of this citys 3rd world roads you choose to follow. Its probably quicker to get to Glossop.

From anywhere in S10 & S11 you can walk to town in anywhere betwixt 5 mins and an hour

Im very interested about why you disliked the S6 area so much...............?

S6 is quite a big area. Some parts are ok, down near bottom of rivelin etc...whereas if you look nearer hilsborough where there are loads of crabby pubs filled with kids on a night time and 'some' scrubbers in the day time then S6 is a dump! Like someone else said, everywhere has good and bad places.

I just explained why someone might think it was an awful comment. Must have hit a sore spot though.

It averages about 10 posts a day, I like to discuss things and there's a diverse range of discussion with some interesting people going on here.

How strange that a topic like this would evoke such strong feelings?

I am an S6er through & through. I have lived here most of my life & love it. I am 5 minutes from lovely countryside, have fantastic views, great schools, decent pubs (although I agree that some in Hills are a bit dodgy) & yet am not too far from town. I also think that Loxley, Wisewood & Wadsley the parts I know best have a lovely village feel. The best bit is that as I have got older lots of friends have come back to the area & settled here. Its a great place to bring kids up.

I agree there are some parts which let it down but surely all area's have their good & bad bits.

Also in defence of Cyclone - what does it matter how many times someone posts? What relevance is that to anything?? I am a bit puzzled & that just sounded a bit nasty to me.

COULD do with a park on wisewood tho, in my opinion but the s6 area has its good and bad places

What do you need a park in Wisewood for when you have Wadsley common, with those stunning views within walking distance?

Well this is an entertaining thread :)

It seems a few people on here don't realise how big S6 is! We're about to move to S6 just north of Crookesmoor Rd (so on the edge of S6) and the area has that perfect balance - 5 mins to the city, 5 mins to the countryside, plenty of local pubs and shops, nice area.

I dunno...from what people have said, S6 gets worse the more north you go. :|

What do you need a park in Wisewood for when you have Wadsley common, with those stunning views within walking distance?

Well should i say the local kids need a park, like there used to be one ie spider park! NOW its just waste land THANKS to our labour council:hihi:

Twixt Peak and town you have got pretty much everything to hand. Local shops a walk away, town a walk or tram/bus ride away and countryside on your doorstep. The eastern side is much more a mixed bag. The M1, new townships, opencasts, landfills, Meadowhall etc. stuffs things up a little.

S6?:gag:

All those areas in S6 are horrible, soul-less places and the people:loopy: are really different to the people in the rest of Sheffield. And not in a good way.:suspect:

Would you care to explain? People are people, all types wherever you live. Many of the people I met when I lived/worked in Rotherham were pretty limited in lots of ways, but that doesn't mean I think everyone from Rotherham is the same. For instance The youngest grandmother title goes to a 26-year-old woman from Rotherham, South Yorks, whose 12-year-old daughter gave birth in 1999.
Is this a reflection of everyone in Roteherham? Thought not.

Oh, I'm not from Rotherham. I'm from Sheffield. I just live here now, as I enjoy a 3 minute drive to work - if all the lights go my way, 5 mins if they don't!:P).

I lived and worked in Sheffield for more years than I could care to admit, and my encounters with people from all those areas in S6 were USUALLY (not always, of course) less than pleasant. I found them to be insular, less-worldly individuals (yes, much like the people of Rotherham) than people from the other areas of Sheffield I came across. They even made me hate Sheff Wed and like Utd, and I don't even follow footie!!! Not ever!

But seriously, I do realise you get the good and the bad everywhere, but I am just going on my own experiences. Driving around those areas (and yes I have), I haven't seen anything that would make me want to go back there, let alone live there. But if you like it, then you like it - and that ain't no crime. Just my opinion and seems I'm not alone.

But I wouldn't use Rotherham as your weapon for getting any kind of revenge on my comments about your odd area. It won't work as I will probably agree with you:D In fact, most Rotherham people would too. They do have the ability to laugh about themselves, but then they should really:hihi: (see, what did I say?:hihi:).

But no, I appreciate where your coming from - our 8 year old has always been unimpressed by the common, even though her mother and I constantly coo over how beautiful the views are:)

Believe me, I'd go back to S6 tomorrow if I could..
Not because I think Rotherham is a bad place, but the people up where I lived were alot friendlier and more sociable than the people around here..
I'm lucky some days if I get a reply to me saying "morning" to some of them...

Fair enough Dance Nation, and I'm not originally from South Yorkshire, although as well as living in Sheffield & Rotherham, I spent over 20 years in Doncaster. My point really was more to do with the variations in people found wherever you live.

No way was I trying to get 'revenge' - I just don't think like that. Neither am I blinkered enough to think that 'S6' where I live now is the only place worth considering - but the people are no weirder than in the other places I've lived. And interestingly, in the Hillsborough area there's been a lot of inward movement by people with good jobs, who want reasonably priced housing with good transport links. I moved here because I got fed up commuting to central Sheffield from Bramley, partly because I wanted the convenience of the tram.

I went to a couple of meetings in Rotherham about extending the tram route from M'hall to Hellaby. The general response was something like 'what, a tram in Rotherham, we don't want them new fangled things'. There weren't many locals laughing at themselves though :hihi:

Isnt there that little adventure style play area, just befor you get up to the common?


Not that im aware of - where abouts nr the common is this?

S6 is about good old fashioned houses and good old fashioned people. Its traditional Sheffield.

Take that how you will

Thats so true about S6 - not many other areas like it!

Read post wrong!

Not that im aware of - where abouts nr the common is this?

I think it can only be termed an adventure playgroung in the loosest possible terms(:D), but as you walk up to the common from the wisewood end, walking past the Wadsley Jack, there's a little path with a stile on the end. If you turn left here, you go up a bit of a hill and on the hill top, I seem to recall there used to be a bit of a bike track and some climbing frames. It has been over a year mind you since i was last there, so it may have changed.

S6 is a good area, it has everything you need..... It also has issues and parts that are not so good (just like everywhere in the country).

What does it matter where we live, as long as you bring your kids up properly, smile at your neighbours and make the best of your situation!

Life is too short for petty neighbourhood rivalries!

Does anyone live in the Howard Road / Commonside area of S6 (i.e. the edge of S6)?

What's it like? Gonna be moving there in January.

Do the locals mind being poked? I like to poke locals when I move to a new area. I want to be able to continue this very personal tradition of mine.

I only ask, 'cos I know certain S6'ers have deep seated hatred of being poked with anything 'not of mother-nature born'.

We're a deeply superstitious lot you see:D

Fair enough Dance Nation, and I'm not originally from South Yorkshire, although as well as living in Sheffield & Rotherham, I spent over 20 years in Doncaster. My point really was more to do with the variations in people found wherever you live.

No way was I trying to get 'revenge' - I just don't think like that. Neither am I blinkered enough to think that 'S6' where I live now is the only place worth considering - but the people are no weirder than in the other places I've lived. And interestingly, in the Hillsborough area there's been a lot of inward movement by people with good jobs, who want reasonably priced housing with good transport links. I moved here because I got fed up commuting to central Sheffield from Bramley, partly because I wanted the convenience of the tram.

I went to a couple of meetings in Rotherham about extending the tram route from M'hall to Hellaby. The general response was something like 'what, a tram in Rotherham, we don't want them new fangled things'. There weren't many locals laughing at themselves though

Nice post Mrs Mac.:thumbsup: It was really evident from your post that you have experience of living outside of 'your' shallow little (S6) box unlike alot of the other 'S6ers' on here. I too am not originally from South Yorkshire and have lived all over the world and all over England and Scotland, but mostly in Sheffield by far. I guess experience of other places allows more of an objective view such as the one you have just expressed.

I realised after I'd posted, that 'revenge' was far too strong a word in reference to your response. I apologise. I just thought you were going for the 'tit for tat' method of 'well my area is better than YOUR area' thing. The thread does after all state 'S6 - The Best Area of Sheffield' and therefore invite debate on that subject. Mrs Mac, I see now that you have a much broader viewpoint than most of the other S6ers who have posted on here.

Oh don't get me started on those Rotherfools and the Supertram! I had to laugh at your 'new fangled things' quote as I can just hear them saying it now!!:rant: Fools!:shakes:

I compare S6 to an area in Rotherham called 'Rawmarsh':gag: To people in Rotherham, Sheffield is like a foreign country. To people in Rawmarsh, Rotherham is like a major trip out! I sort of get that same vibe from S6ers as I do from the Rawmarsh hole-dwellers, although to be fair to both, there are of course a few nice ones amongst the majority;). The majority being more familiar with the location of Sky Sports Bars and fish and chip shops in Benidorm than anything immediately outside their hovel of a neighbourhood.

I could tell you a funny story about Worrall/Wisewood too, but maybe I will save that for next time (this story proves that S6 people are just damn odd:loopy:).

In closing, one of the nicest women I ever worked with ever, was from Loxley. I nearly fell off my chair when she told me she was from S6, and Loxley too!!!:P You see, there can be miracles!:hihi:
