Seven Hills Of Sheffield?

Recommended Posts

Sheffield is surrounded by seven hills....Which hills are we talking about. I have always wanted to know the answer to this?

Ah, well I can't answer this one fully, but I can certainly give some guidance.

 

I'm led to believe that there's a Roderick Hill that lives on the north side - somewhere near Penistone. And in the affluent south-west area of Totley there's a certain Mrs Nelly Hill and her daughters Podmorgan and Henrietta.

 

So that's two. Can anyone else suggest where the other five Hills are located?

 

 

Always glad to help a friend in need, mate. ;)

Wincobank is a great place for walking, with great views of Sheffield and the odd burning car. Hadn`t realised it`s one of the seven hills. Used to live nearby, at Grimesthorpe.

Wincobank is also the site for the Iron Age settlement - probably built by the Brigantes as defense against the Romans.

Now if you come up Barnsley Rd there are signs saying Roman Ridge pointing towards the hill:?
