Hi Dan It's been 34 yrs since I emigrated, but before I did I lived there 7yrs. Back then I guess it was quieter, but I loved it (Stocksbridge) I found the folks there friendly. We still have friends in Stocksbridge and Deepar, who I am still in touch with. From what I can gather from my friends it's not got the same crime rate as Sheffield, but as the population grows it's getting there. If you like clubbing down town it's a pain getting there still, I gather Manchester Rd is still a nightmare to drive on. I don't suppose they have an hospital still, and if you've got small children, then you should consider this. I hope someone posts who still lives there to give you a better and updated version of the two cities. Good luck in your decision:thumbsup:

I lived there 34 years. I lived around the corner from foxglen for 18 years and it was a lovely place to live. If you are from town and go to town it may take a little getting use to. Theres a lot of the older villagers who are proud of the valley.
Good luck if you decide to live there.

It's a lovley area. I've lived here all my life and I'm 35 (sorry to spoil the 34 theme).

It is a quite area and it does lack a few things, but the country side walks which are literally on your doorstep make up for a lot.

One minor point, which some ot the older locals will get stressed at you about, foxglen road is in Deepcar not Stocksbridge. Stupid detail but one which will prevent an arguement.

All in all a great place.

The Lower part of Fox Glen Rd does back onto the Glen and was always a nice road.

Pubs getting better King and Millar, Sylvesters, Oak all ok, with Bracken Moor, St Anns, Rugby Club and Lowoods clubs also ok.


Some problems in Stocky itself with regard to car break ins etc (but this put down to couple of individuals off Kenny) so no worse than some parts of Sheffield.

Ignore the pointy head, and 6 fingered Banjo playing comments which will no doubt follow soon.

I'll be coining it in at the bookies if it does, though.

Its a nice place once youve got a foot under the table.

You need to have lived there at least 34 years before the locals even talk to you.

Take care
