Which is the steepest road in Sheffield?

[Joe9T 10]

Yes we know Joe9T - Grahame - who publishes the Robin Hood / Loxley website - has already posted them on this thread in the last page or so.

 

Im not trawling 29 pages. would you?

[Joe9T 10]

At least I have ratio'd the top 3 rather than just a graded percentage!

[Joe9T 10]

Is there anyone who knows how to measure hight on Google Maps?

You might at least have read the page before to get a flavour of where the discussion was going - and found it contained the information.

Quicker to google it than go thru 29 pages. Found the Top 10 without reading the posts!

I got to about page 5 and still couldn't believe Victoria St in Stocksbridge had been mentioned! Used to have to try and get back up to school in the dinner break and that used to pretty much finish me off if I'd had chippy lunch.

 

St John's Rd in Deepcar isn't bad either

I think this explains it;

Some would lump 7 and 8 together as one.[/QUote]

 

 

Thankyou for that Longcol

Top 8, because Hagg Hill and Victoria St in Stocksbridge are within the Sheffield boundary, i think!

People have been discussing which is the steepest road in Sheffield for a long time and there is a map here of old Sheffield.

Stocksbridge only came into Sheffield in 1974.

 

"1974 Abolition of the West Riding and creation of South Yorkshire, but Stocksbridge Urban District and the Civil Parish of Bradfield were now included in Sheffield Metropolitan District. The Urban District Council became Stocksbridge Town Council."

These days the gradient of a hill is given in terms of percentage.
