Just wondered where in sheffield you from?

Then whats the best thing about your area and whats the worst thing about your area

New member here! :D

My username says it all really... ;) It's not a bad area, fairly quiet, though we do get the odd 'yoof' knocking about. I suppose one of the best things about Heeley is that it's only a nice short stroll to town. :)

In a house on a street.......:heyhey:
best thing is: Not near bramall lane
worst thing is: too far from hillsbrough!!

Hi, I'm living in Walkley at the minute, and really like it. The pubs are really cosy and friendly, and it's really handy for so many places. There are also some great new restaurants along south road opening up and the views across the valley are fantastic! :thumbsup:

I live at West.One...
The best things are the close proximity to shops and nightlife (I'm a stoodent)
The worst thing is that repairs take ages here, the staff are polite but useless monkeys and they'd charge you to look out of the window lol!

Im in Crookes..

Best Thing : RajPut Indian Takeaway :D (and the 4 lovely ladies next door)

Worst Thing : The Punchbowl :gag:

Upperthorpe here

best bit: the little rude boys playing at being gangsters
worst thing: the lack of a decent local

Miles away is Eckington

Ecclesall.

Best thing - quiet and leafy suburb.

Worst thing - people confuse it with the studentsville of Ecclesall Road. :hihi:

I don't - friend of mine lives in a district in the west.

i dont live in sheffield :)


but when i did......

when first born i believe i lived at my dads mum and dads house on stradbrook before moving to studley road in darnall till i was 8, moved to goathland close (just off the badger) at woodhouse till i was 18..........left home at 18.

lived on city road, opposite the bottom of the cemetary.
lived on woodstock road, nether edge
lived at the missuses mums house on holtwood road, pitsmoor
lived opposite the missuses mums on holtwood road.
lived in the flats on earldom drive, pitsmoor.

think thats it

Walkley.

Best Thing. It's nice and quiet

Worst Thing. It's nice and quiet

StarSparkle :)

Chapeltown, its ok. traffic always busy!! pubs not bad. Escape ok and Staindrop Lodge good food. I just wish there was a gym close by. bit of a bummer going all way to Hillsborough. I would like to live Ecclesfield, GrEnoside.........

I don't live in or anywhere near Sheffield, but stayed in the Woodseats area for a few days last week:thumbsup:

I live in hillsborough......oh well lifes full of compromises:(

Im in Hackenthorpe currently, tis lovely and quiet round our way!

Parson Cross

Best thing
Close to where I work

Worse thing
Car insurance is soo expensive (dont have to worry about home insurance but would think that is the same)

Walkley:

Best bit: Nice mixed and friendly area

Worst Bit: Bloody winds.

hi nothing wrong with heeley i used to live there. at woodseats now like both areas not far from town and not far from the country.

eccelsfield i live in,lovely and quiet

best things is .the square with all the pubs near by :thumbsup:

worst things is-? i let you know on that one as not lived hear since 13ys ago.

I live on Eldon Street, in Victoria Hall- behind the Forum and opposite Dev Green.

The best thing: v handy location, and my lovely flatmates

The worst thing: Either the sound of the Forum chucking bottles into their bins at 3am, or the building work going on outside my bedroom window that starts stupidly early every day. :rant:

I live on the quiet bit of Shiregreen in walking distance of a grit bin comes in handy in this weather
;)

I'm in Meersbrook, it's the bomb, not too far from town, and close to about 10 pubs.

:confused: Are you a nomad?

I live in Stannington:

Best thing: Loads of decent-ish pubs in the area.

Worst thing: 2 of said pubs are full of chavs, crap local bus services.

Arbourthorne

Bestthing -Nice Area, great neighbours. Lots of fields for my dogs.
Worst thing - Little ******* kids that grafetey, smash bottles and set fires everywhere!

Walkley.. just moved from crookesmoor, finding walkley much nicer, must admit crookesmoors really going down hill since the housing assosiations aquired lots of property there.

City Centre

Best Thing: Location to work/station/pubs/clubs etc.

Worst Thing: Noise, only kidding. Flat prices.

just off london road..

best bit: instant access to any takeaway you can think of, plus you're never short of black cabs

worst bit: crapper & haigh - the world's most inept & useless letting agent*


*opinions expressed are not necessarily those of any official forum representative.. you may, however, consider them fact..

Born on Asdell Road (border of Crookes & Broomhall).

Moved to Wadsley Bridge.

Short stint in Parson Cross.

Then on to a farm at the end of Midhurst Lane (Fox Hill - kind of;)).

Then to Crookes,

then Heeley....

then Hillsborough,

then Grenoside,

then Stannington,

and now, finally Walkley.


I consider myself quite lucky to have lived in some really nice areas of Shffield:thumbsup: (though some of them have gone a little downhill in recent years:().

there seems to be quite a majority of us up here at walkley... :)

Indeed.. In fact I'm ex-Walkley myself.. Lived in Walkley Bank Road for 20 years.. Would still live there now if we hadn't been forced to move due to problems with the daft old bat next door :rant:

Ecclesfield, near Royal Bank of Scotland

Best bit - Barmaids in the stocks!

Worst bit - the bloody walk up the hill to the pubs!

leafy longley:o ok it has its rough parts but the road i live on is ok , on thursday ill have been living here for 10 years:)

i live on the manor

best thing~ only 5 mins from work
worst thing~ not one decent boozer for miles:suspect:

We're on New Woodthorpe, in the same house my partner grew up in :)

i'm just passing through sheffield, and presently ensconsed near the strange conexus of bramall lane, queens road and london road...

Used to live at Crookes before the students ruined it!!!!!!!!!

Norton

Best Thing...Graves Park

Worst Thing....:huh: can't think of one...I like it here!! :D

Traitor:bigsmile:

Hi peeps, Newbie here! :)

I lived in Sheffield about 2 years ago.

I lived in Lowedges
Best Thing: Nice and quiet and near to shops, doctors etc.

Worst thing: The potheads that lived opposite, with fecking ****** up kids that kept smashing windows :(

Living in Grimsby ATM but just finished a Degree so hoping to move back soon and start my new career!!

Currently live in Manor (don't believe the negative hype- I feel as safe here as I did in some of the more 'desirable' locations listed below!)

However, I've been in Shef for 8 years now and have lived in:

Heeley
Sharrow
Ecclesall Road... I never 'officially' lived on Ecclesall road, but I was a regular guest at my mates' homes on the road and I studied for three years at the SHU Collegiate Cresent campus).
Crookes
Broomhall


Lib1

i have just moved to stocksbridge,


did any one watch the documentary about the strangest villiage in britain? (Botton in North Yorkshire)
i fear it was modelled on this place:confused:

City Centre Apartments, nr Peace Gardens
Good points - Cant get much more central than that
Bad points - Noise, heat - so hot, top floor of old building, without a balcony, cant open windows because of the noise.

Love it though.

I live in Woodseats, a good point about the area has to be the shops not just the main run of shops along Chesterfield road but also the supermarkets in the area,if I was an idle so and so I wouldn't have to ever go more than half a mile in any direction for shopping.
The one bad point that immediately comes to mind is the climb up Woodseats road when I'm not in the mood.
I would have to say that there are far more plus points than negative about this area though.

I live in Norton Lees, as the name may suggest :)

Best thing - Graves Park, loadsa local shops (for local people) and I've lived around here since I was little and my maternal side of the family have lived around here for generations. It means I know loads of people to say hello to in the street and I like it that way. Also, the view across Woodseats valley when you catch one through the houses is wonderful.

Worst thing- Buses (but we'll not get on to that), the chav invasion on every Friday night during the summer and the smell of poo coming down from the park when the wind is blowing the wrong way :)

Lowfield - Olive Grove area.

Best thing: My lovely neighbours on all three sides of my house (NB. No, I'm not drunk, but it's too complicated to explain!).

Worst thing: Busy road - and a traffic rat-run into and out of the city centre.

New to the forum - just moved to Hillsborough from the Rotherham area.

Best things - friends and family already live in area, and the tram is great for getting to work.

Worst thing (so far) - loud music from next door in the afternoons. I expect some noise, but you can hear the bass from the next street!

Nether Edge/Brincliffe - fabulous, walk to town, easy to Eccie Road, Sharrow & Abbeydale Road. Buses if you need them. Great mix of people, lovely neighbours. Doubly fortunate in being able to walk to work in 12 mins too. Lived in Broomhill before but got too scruffy (at least the bit where we were), also parking a nightmare. Brought up in Dore but a bit too quiet for me now. Just a bit worried about the overdevelopment of the Nether Edge area, every large house seem's fair game for conversion into flats.

Norfolk Park :thumbsup: bit by Granville Road

Good? - lots of green space, the park, gert big old victorian houses with nice gardens, close to town (walking distance), still undervalued...

Best of all is that there is a great community spirit here - know loads of people, neighbours etc...

Downsides? No local boooozer, lack of local shops (greengrocer, butcher, baker etc) still can be messy (litter).

No.

She was a suspected manic depressive..

And no, the depression was nothing to do with me...

currently renting in nether edge....

best thing: when people ask me where i live i can give the impression that i am loaded.

rubbish thing: i'm not actually loaded and all the owner occupiers on my street don't like us cos we live in a house that is fairly neglected by the landlord and it brings the poshness of their street down.

soon to be living in shiregreen/wincobank (buying our first house)...

i'm guessing best thing: we won't be throwing money away on rent anymore but will instead be slowing buying an asset.

i'm guessing rubbish thing: it's the wrong side of the city and we're worried all the stereotypes will come true! but as someone has already said, life is full of compromises and this is ours... hopefully we will be surprised.

i live in dore

very nice area!!!

thinking of moving to totley???

but not too sure yet!

i live in tinsley

sheffield 9

malin bridge till i was 15 then up to wisewood for 5 yrs,and then back down the road to hillsborough, where i can see myself staying for the rest of my life unless my lottery numbers come up,but even then i dont think i would venture far away,just too handy for everything i want living round here.

I live in H'boro, and I'm really happy there.

Far away and close enough to town at the same time.

My neighbours house is up for sale....no agents involved either...come on, you know you want to live next to me!!

I live at Norfolk Park too

Best things: The closeness to town and the supertram, the wonderful Norfolk Heritage Park and the fantastic views over the city.

Worse things: There are no decent shops or takeaways within walking distance. There don't seem to be enough car parking spaces to go around.

I do love it here though, and I'm told in the next couple of years we will be getting some shops :clap:

I live at Greenhill

Best Bit = Its Green

Crap Bit = Its On An Hill

well i live in darnall and have done for nearly 24 yrs on and off.

West Street, in the middle of everything... shops, pubs, city centre, very lively place indeed
... noise and parking (if you haven't got a private parking space) can be a problem sometimes...

I like Cowley view, chapeltown. houses never come up for sale around there. if anyone knows if there is any coming up for sale there and around there please let me know.
we are wanting to move house and hopefully there.
thanks.

Aren't you looking for Millhouses, S7 anymore?

:)

more expensive there. & we want to be near to the motorway, well I am not bothered about motorway. but it is nice millhouses!! better than chapeltown but cant have everything!

Originally posted by beth29

Beighton and Woodhouse are near the motorway, and are meant to be reasonable...

:)

In my 7 years as a student I've lived in different places in Sheffield, including 3 years at the Endcliffe site, two years in Crookes and a year at Victoria Hall by Devonshire Green.

It was the city centre Victoria Hall location that I liked the most, so I've recently moved into a flat at Riverside Exchange, in the new Coode building. I've got a decent view from the flat, and it's pretty central. It's only 5 minutes walk from the Odeon, which is great for a self-confessed cinema addict like myself. The only downside is that the nearest supermarket is Somerfield, which is 15 minutes walk away. In Victoria Hall I was only five minutes from Sainsburys on the moor, and I was right next to the Tesco Express on West Street.

I do miss Devonshire Green and Division Street a bit, as I really liked the energy of that area. The Green has an almost spiritual vibe to it, and I love the mix of people that you get there. Overall I'm pretty happy where I am though. :)

Crookes

Best things - its so nice, got loads of great shops, and generally a safe place with a good atmosphere

Worst things - the trek up a huuuuge hill to get there, the lack of a decent supermarket (coop is vastly overpriced!) and the fact that its so high up that it snowed in april....

Im not going to say where we are all im saying is its quiet and the area is freindly enough.. just past heeley

Is it Lowfield?

:)

Born Arbouthourne,
Lived at Hackenthorpe,
Got Married & moved to Abbeydale,
Moved to Low Edges late seventies

Only real problems at Low Edges are the scum people that the Council keep moving onto the Estate with their hoards of unruly & undisciplined children who constantly vandalise & destroy.

These parents don't seem to give a toss what their little horrors are up to.

Life is reasonable round here but DO NOT venture into the GRENNEL MOWER & MAGPIE as these are most definitely populated by the kind of people who would happily tell you a joke & then knockyou out for laughing.

Look at the user deatils....location:eastbourne.....

I live at stannington, lovely place, lots of pubs, 2 minutes from Derbyshire countryside. BUT it has the worst bus service in the whole of sheffield.

Ok, In order here we go:
Greystones - Nice, quiet, families with children area. No bad points

Crookes - Bit far to local newagents but thats just me being lazy. nice area.

Huntersbar - good location, felt bit crowded though

Netheredge (clse to sharrow) - felt overcrowded, narrow streets, no green, scruffy. Still ok but probably my least favorate area.

Currently Walkley - very nice and I like the way its a very hilly part of sheffield.

Next - Cavendish Court - anyone know what this is like to live in?

I'd agree that Greystones is a nice, quiet area; although Crookes does have decent facilities.
Hunters Bar is great for students - very populated.

Nether Edge - I don't like it.

Walkley - top place.

Before Crookes would have been seen as better than Walkley, but I'd say the other way around, as Walkley is more peaceful.

:)

I live near Hillsborough. Good for shops etc but pubs are a bit rough!

:cool: I live in southey green or is it longley wherever, moonshine lane

best thing , is there a best thing about southey?

worst thing = southey club moronic drunkards skum of the earth skivers, too near parsons cross chav city, smiler steves chippy how come i get all his litter :confused:

I live in Crosspool. The best thing about it is it's far enough away from the city centre to be quiet but close enough to nip in for a bit of food. It's also quite close to Broomhill too.

i live at greysones, or as my husband says Bingham Park, it's near Hunters Bars , Ecclesall, and High Stores. It's great i have got 2 boys 3 and 8. the people who live around are either families or OAP's they all love kids. Except for the the miserable man around the corner who hates them and glares at any chance he gets.

I live in Beauchief, well only just, live with my parent opposite the abbeydale industrial hamlet.

Some people on the road say beauchief others say abbeydale. Take your pick either way you get there!

I live on the langsett estate close to Hillsboro and its brill.Ive just discovered this site and think its really good to know that most ppl have only good things to say about hillsboro its got everything including lotsa good pubs he he

High Storrs... :d

Bingham Park is a sort of sub-area of Greystones; like HS it's not an *official* area - check SCC's constituency map, as it's all counted under Greystones.

Live in Rotherham there is no question of what good with it! its more like whats right with it but i have lived there most of my life so it cant be all that bad if i stayed so long..

Did live in sheffield for a while which was cool but so expensive but it was still very cool!! just at the end of End Cliff Park.

I live in Sharrow, just off Abbeydale road. I love it. There's loads of interesting shops and restaurants on London rd, it's a short walk into town and the people are so diverse. Then there's things like Sharrow festival and the lantern papade that are really special. I came to Sheffield 1 year ago and moved straight to Sharrow. I feel lucky to have found such an ace area!!:banana:

that's parade.... of course

i live near the amazing crystal peaks, the best shopping centre ever!

look my posts still live thats good news :thumbsup:

I live in a little village out side retford, so im an expat, i miss sheffield, but not the hussle and bussle, and im proud to be called a Dee Dar as i still have my yorkshire twag,
Im getting very nostalgic at the minute, sat here with a glass of bells and a hamlet reading all the sheffield gossip, all the memorys are flooding back, old girlfriends, old mates, the pub crawls,spending the night in water lane D&D,or to drunk to get home so i'd spend the night under the poly in pond street, im going to be in tears in a minute, i'd better go to bed, no on second thoughts ill have another bells or two

I am from shiregreen the best things are

friendly neighbours
close to shops
good pubs
nice estates

the worst things are

the school kicking outat 3:15
the fact that people confuse lanetop and firthpark as part of shiregreen which then people assume everyone on shiregreen is a chav or scummy i have lived here all my life and stay here by choice we have just bought a new house 6 houses down from my parents i have never had any trouble at all and I cannot see myself moving as when checking other areas they all had something missing

I live at lodge moor, which is fab! :)

Best thing is the fact that its only 15 mins from the centre of town, yet it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere and the views are amazing!

The worst thing about it is that the house prices are mega expensive so I can only afford to rent here! :(

High Green is where i live. Cant really fault it lovely area it is:thumbsup:

Hillsboro at the minute

Best Thing - easy to get into town, meadowhall and north for work

Worst Thing - no decent boozers

When we moved to sheffield 8 years ago, we rented a house at the top of woodthorpe.

good things

Nice neighbours, everyting i needed in shops and the tram was great

Bad things
the bloke next door that used to come home ****** and sound like he was dying!
The police helicopter at 3 am , almost EVERY night.
Having our car nicked 4 days after moving in.

Then we bought a house in Totley

Good points
Again nice neighbours, schools, bus into town proximity to peak district.

Bad points
The attittude of some of the residents that they are better than everyone else because they live in S17
The assumption by many others that don't live in s17 that we all think like that.
The Hill(but I thnk thats sheffield all over)

I live over the border in Dronfield but 15 years ago when i was a wee nipper sheffield council tried to make us part of sheffield for tax purposes. They failed and now we have a terrible public transport problem and some cabbies wont even come this far after a night out.

We have a reputation for being a bit posh and stuck up but as long as you take your shoes off before you walk up my drive i wont get the gamekeeper to release the dogs.

I live in Worksop... nuff said really...... Old Granny perm town:P .

Its not bad for commuting into Sheffield really, but the trains can be really busy at the usual office hour times. Was thinking of moving to Sheffield, but i think im better off where i live now after reading some of the comments. I dont really wanna have to downsize.

What an appropriate username you knuckle dragging bonehead.

everyones entitled to an opinion.

if he feels the the need for some equality with the rest of sheffield he should be granted it. give him a cash machine for gods sake.

I work in S1 Sheffield, and would like to take my Rent down a peg. At present living in Walkley- fine no probs but £510 a month. A nice 3 bed semi has come up in Kimberworth Park Rotherham, house is OK and rent a useful saving @ £395 per month. But don't know the area at all. Its only 25mins drive to Sheff city centre so to problems there. Does anyone have any experience of this district.
Many thanks in anticipation of forth coming comments..
WOODY:mad:

It's not the box you live in..it's the people that live in your box!

Best : Views of the city, tramstop into town nearby, price of flat, size of flat, quiet area (despite what I have heard from people)

All in all I'm loving it in Sheffield!

I live on the Woodthorpe estate (near manor)

Best thing:confused: :confused: :confused:

Also lived at Gleadless, Manor, and down near the United Ground.

Currently living in Bradway

Good thing its quiet out here

Bad thing miles from work

New member here! :D

My username says it all really... ;) It's not a bad area, fairly quiet, though we do get the odd 'yoof' knocking about. I suppose one of the best things about Heeley is that it's only a nice short stroll to town. :)

Hi Read were you are living, I was born and bred in heeley on a road called little london road. These houses have now been pulled down, it wa a good neighbour hood. Don't no what its like now as I left there in 1964.

I used to live at Heeley in the late 50's early sixties. The road was called, Little London Road. It was a typicalworking class area, back to back houses with a wood yard (Arnald Lavers) and a coal yard.

The people who live in that area were hard working but honest and trust worthy. you could go out and leave your door open without worrying that anyone would steal anything.

Does anyone remember that area, if so what was the name of the grocery shop at the top of little london road?

Lived in fulwood all my life :) dad comes from Birmingham, mum from sheffield. THey lived at chapletown for a while, then moved here to fulwood before having me and my brother.

Currently residing in Sunny Burncross.

Best bits; Acorn pub, near the countryside, close on for work

Worst Bits; noisy neighbours! Taxi fares home from town after a few bevvies

Jim:thumbsup:

where abouts in Burncross do you live?

Shirecliffe

Pro's: Close to the centre of town (although I rarely go in), the park across Shirecliffe Road and the view

Cons: Not being at home enough

I live near Hillsborough. Good for shops etc but pubs are a bit rough!

Haha exactly what I was going to say.
I live near the park...

Good things - v convenient for shops, public transport, getting into town, quite friendly and safe

Bad things - can get quite rough at times, especially if you dare venture into one of the smog clouds that passes itself off as a pub lol!

where is don valley?
dvsa.

Sharrow, top of Washington Road to be precise, thats all I'm saying!

I lived on Bramall Lane when I first moved here, been at this place for 2 years in a scabby flat, but love the people I live with and the area, always busy,The Vine, Ecclesall Road, town and anywhere of interest is never more than half an hours walk away.

Hoping to move to either Hunters Bar or just a nicer place round here in July, can't wait!

I love sheffield, so many different people and you can always find something to do if you give it a go.

Born and bred in the Aston/Aughton area.
Apart from a 4 year stint in Leeds I'm still here.

Best thing: Proximity to M1/M18. Handy to get up to Doncaster also Barnsley/Leeds/London for work which are the four places I've worked (not worked permanently in Sheff since being 17)

Worst thing: The £18 taxi fare each way from Sheff when dropping my mate off who lives in Rotherham. :mad:

I live in Heeley (I think)

Pros :
Near to town, can walk it in 20 minutes
House was cheap
Near restaurants on London Road
Near tram stop

Cons:
No shops realy
Traffic on match days is frightening

Shiregreen born and bread here. Spent a few years at high green and hated it. Back on shiregreen now and lovin it lovin it lovin it

live in broomhill

good things - nice posh decent area, safe, easy access to city on weekends

bad things - full of bloody first year students who drink alot ( iknow, i did it too!!), traffic through fulwood road on a morning - the schools down there cause mental chaos!!!

I am currently living in the Woodseats area but am moving to Lowedges soon (hopefully if it doesn't fall through) I used to live on Lowedges about 8 years ago and I liked it there. Woodseats is good coz of all the shops and amenaties but its only a busride away so i'll still me near my family in Woodseats.

I'm sorta a newbie!

I lived in Broomhill for a year 2004/2005 cos I was a stoodent, and now I'm on a year's break. When I go back I'll be living in West.One.

Best thing about Broomhill: Nice, leafy area, Broomhill Friary, the proximity to the Uni

Worst thing about Broomhill: That friggin' hill I had to walk up twice or three times a day :p All good for the thighs tho.. lol.
