Attercliffe - What is it like these days?

The unfortunates who have to drive past there?

More seriously qazi, people do live there; on Staniforth Road, the rest of Darnall etc...

While it might not be everyones cup of tea I think that it's going to develop into quite an eclectic edgy funky sort of area when some more housing / flats go in around the canal.

LOL its the people of Darnall that use Attercliffe I think the houses on Staniforth Road are far enough away not to be affected. Also Attercliffe has that reputation for ages, so they knew that when they moved in.

Also as long as things aren't happening in the street, it doesn't bother me. I like the idea of all the porn/adult shops being in the same place. It means they aren't in residential areas.

But seriously thou the 2nd hand shops are good, as well as Hitchens, so its not too bad.

There is those 2 leather shops that seem to have been there forever as well.

Attercliffe & Darnell l spent my misspent youth there and look where lts landed me,--ln N.Zealand. however l still have great memories of the place.

Nothing wrong with the place, at least it's not dull

They changed the spelling to Darnall since you left too You probably wouldn't recognise the place, especially around Staniforth Road.

yeah but no one lives around there, so who is it hurting?

Hey ppl do live down there I myslef live there and as living goes its ok. theres a new cul-de-sack been built around the back of the Attercliffe Tram stop and all the flats above the shops are being renevated and there huge!

Area not as bad as ppl make it out 2 be

I like the way the road signs to Sheffield city centre from Meadowhall direct you AWAY from going down Attercliffe Road and over to Brightside Lane. It seems an obvious attempt to prevent visitors to Sheffield from having to go down here even though it will be quicker!

It does have probably the best shop in Sheffield for models... as in Hornby trains, Scalextric and the like, not the other 'models' that frequent many of the establishments around there... You can spot these pretty easily though, they're not exactly hidden away!

Does anybody know what's happening around cliffs/ arena on Sunday?

some great resteraunts and antique, shops i live it
