Whats Gleadless Valley like? is it full of teenagers hanging round or quiet - oh and are there any factories or steel works nearby? ;o)

I live in Hemsworth which some people seem to class as Gleadless Valley.. There's teenagers hanging around quite a bit of the time, i've mostly only seen them in big groups on Blackstock Road mind you, the rest of the time it's just 3-4.

Other than that, I can't really complain about it, it's fairly quiet and the people seem nice enough. Never had any problems from anyone, just seem to ignore me mostly. :)

The only thing I don't like is that the council *never* seem to send anyone to tidy up around here and when stuff blows out of the bins it just sits in/around the paths forever.. grrr.

Hemsworth is part of Gleadless Valley.

Yes it does have a few teenagers hanging about but usually centred at the local shops (i.e. Nr John O Gaunt - Co-Op on Constable Road).

If you keep yourself to yourself you shouldn't have any problems. It's not particularly a bad area by any means but it's not without it's car crime etc either.

My mum lives at Gleadless Valley (so does my brother and his family) and I only moved off the estate in 2002 myself.

Welcome to the forum Sawdust. Have fun.

I used to be a postman there many years ago and thought it a bit rough then but it has improved in leaps and bounds. If you like wooded areas, lots of greenery, a well stocked library, a good medical centre and above average schools then go for it.

I moved to gleadless valley in june last year, it was the last place i thought i would be living when i first started house hunting. But i must say its very quiet where i live and havent had a single problem or anything to moan about! :bigsmile:
