Batemoor is to sheffield as a bleeding callous is to a hillwalker ... 90% of the houses are flat roof prefabs or other council cheap build that have had that council touch. Make em look like we put a proper roof on em and gave the fronts a bit of a makeover. Cant polish a turd springs to mind....
I lived on Batemoor in the early 1970's so I'm going to watch this thread with interest. When I lived there it was a nice little estate. I have heard it's gonedownhill since then though.

omg batemoor is horrible, right little trampy estate i used to go to meadowhead school and some of my friends lived there. i wouldnt advise it to anyone! i went to the shops there with my mum few weeks ago and there was kids shouting at people as they walked past and climbing on the shops roof.. not to mention hanging about EVERYWHERE...
the pub is on the opposite side from the shops, you will see it if you walk away from them and walk or drive towards the roundabout its on your right .. right dive!
batemoor is OK....yeah it has its problems...like ALL council estates across the country...but there are a lot WORSE areas in Sheffield to live.
There are the "usual" inhabitants as you would expect on a council estate i.e. alcos' etc...but there are also a majority of decent hard wroking proud people living there as well.
The shopping centre does have the usual "kids hanging around"...but doesn't every estate shopping centre....just bored kids with nowt to do....
The estate had more problems in the early 90's than it does now

Thankyou for your post..we have been offered a maisonette on whinacre close.We are considering the offer.
I went out with a girl not long ago from Batemoor, she said it had got better recently.
The first time I went to her place there was a burnt out car still smouldering. The second time I went there was what looked like a riot happening outside and the 3rd time I went round my car was smashed.
It's the pits, a truly awful place that should be avoided at all costs.
