the road between Lower and Upper Bradfield is steep but I think Hagg Hill is a winner in this category

What about Bishops Court Road in Meersbrook? I used to walk it every morning going to Newfield and it was plenty steep enough...:blush:

Don't know about roads, but I'm reliably told that Sheffield's Supertram includes the steepest section of railway line in the country.

I went down Hagg Hill at the weekend, it is nowhere near as steep as some others mentioned.

 

Bishops Court Rd

Kent Rd

Myrtle Rd are all steeper

 

These are all roads around Heeley and Meersbrook

 

The reason you have to go into 1st on Hagg Hill is because of the bend half way up and you loose your speed.

 

Maybe we could form a society and do Steep Hill walks and then pop for a pint afterwards.

 

What's the simplest device for measure steepness?

I think it's called an inclinometer. My friend's dad used to have one in his car back in the 60s (he was a bit odd, he also had an altimeter and barometer in the car).

My money's on Blake St, too....

 

The thing about sheffield is that, no matter where you go in Sheffield, even when it's downhill, you've got to go uphill!!!!

 

Gotta love those seven hills!

Scarsdale Road in Woodseats is a strong contender. In fact there are a few roads along Chesterfield Road in Woodseats that are implausibly steep

There is loads of stupidly steep hills in Sheff.

I'd say the very bottom of Langsett Avenue at Middlewood is the steepest section of road in the city, it's ridiculous. It's only like that for about 100 yeards though, so it doesnt really count does it.
