jgharston Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Originally posted by Lickszz Hey, we've already had this debate and it lost fair and square to Blake Street. Blake Steet is the steepest, but Kent Road looks the steepest as you can stand on Rushdale Road and see it going down, and then up again. The perspective makes the far side look almost vertical.

stussonicos Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Just of Sheffield Road in Rotherham (leading the the viaduct roundabout) is Dead Mans Hole Lane - the (slightly warped) mind bogles... I agree about Colliery Road - very dark and always home to someone's rubbish, also has some very strange graffiti about the IRA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Originally posted by Nathen What about that road in nether edge (the name eludes me) with a tree in the middle of the road! I believe it's Ryle Road. K x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 The road from Oughtibridge up to High Bradfield used to be a bit disconcerting for strangers. Half way up Burton Lane you take a blind right bend and find yourself in a farmyard, - and with all the cow muck etc. it was hard to tell where exactly the road went. Seen a few do a three point turn and head back down the hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a strange bend which just gets tighter and tighter <shiver>as if you are being sucked into a spiral, and there's little warning, and it's like being in the Prisoner, no escape. </shiver> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanbro Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 My nomination for the weirdest road in Sheffield has got to be the Mosborough Parkway (I think they call it that). This is at the end where you join the Sheffield Parkway. The road surface is made up of waves, almost like a concrete sea. Probably the worst part is as you drive back up towards Woodhouse from the Sheffield Parkway. Your car gets a jerking as you hit some of the bumps. Council service vehicles keep appearing now and then,and the mandatory cones, but they must be preparing for a surf-boarding contest; as no changes or resurfacing are ever evident. It would probably all have to be gouged out and then filled with layer upon layer to make any impact. My advice to the Council would be: "Don't make waves!"

Lickszz Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Originally posted by Yodameister Slightly different discussion to steepest road - which road gains most altitude from lowest point to highest point? (just residential - I think there might be some main roads that beat my nomination) I'd vote Jenkin Road - and if I walk home from work, I walk the length (or should that be height) of it - good view at the top though. Could be Jenkin, how abouty Prince of Wales Road, or City Road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
