Jules Student   10 #1 Posted July 14, 2003 Oh gawd, now my M&D are thinking of moving too! Does anyone know what Ecclesfield is like (for the 60+ age bracket) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lou   10 #2 Posted July 14, 2003 I haven't lived in Sheffield that long but Ecclesfield seems OK to me. My Uncle lives there. There are some nice houses (in my opinion!). Don't really know what there is to do socially though. However, there is an Italian Restaurant on High Street called Cerrones where the food is excellent. (If they like Italian food?!). I should mention that I think it's non smoking throughout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
monkjack   10 #3 Posted July 14, 2003 Ecclesfield is nice enough, the trouble is it is surrounded by council estates like Shiregreen and Parsons Cross, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
spook   10 #4 Posted July 20, 2003 As an ex resident of Shiregreen I take exception to that. The bits nearest to Ecclesfield are a good mile walk away. Ecclesfield is lovely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nigel Womersle   10 #6 Posted August 10, 2003 I have livd in Ecclesfield all of my life. I do mean Ecclesfield - the old village part. It's a nice place to be, although there have been many changes over the years, not all for the better. it has a fantastic history, although naturally some of the newcomers are not interested. Ecclesfield has more or less become a part of Sheffield now, but there are still some village activities/clubs left which are worth investigating. All in all, there's 'nowt' wrong wi t'place.

mouse   10 #7 Posted August 12, 2003 Ecco's alright. Plenty of pubs, a couple of greasy chippies, a library, a church, a park, a burnt down bandstand, Morisson's supermarket, half a million hairdressers shops, a snooker hall, some new houses, some very old houses and nice countryside up Whitley Lane. It was mentioned in the domesday Book details with the men being rowdy and the women of dubious disposition. They don't know nowt....Ecco's oKaY.
