Michael_N Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 BorderCity I would suggest getting your facts right prior to posting... Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire - East Midlands South Yorkshire (along with the rest of Yorkshire) - North. Humberside has not existed officially since 1996, now known as North Lincolnshire/ North East Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire. However this doesn't stop people getting it wrong from time to time, including yourself above. By the way, there is no North Midlands (or South Midlands for that matter). 100% FACT!

Michael_N Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 And just to go on, the East Midlands covers the following counties: Bedfordshire Cambridgeshire Derbyshire Nottinghamshire Leicestershire Lincolnshire Rutland North Lincolnshire (Scunthorpe)/ North East Lincolnshire (Grimsby-Cleethorpes) form part of the North, as these were previously part of Humberside prior to 1996 and as such as are also part of the Yorkshire and the Humber data statistics, as is the whole of South Yorkshire. Hope that's not too difficult for you or anyone else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrsaljko Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Sheffield is in Yorkshire and Yorkshire is in the north. FACKT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hope that's not too difficult for you or anyone else... It isn't difficult. It also isn't authoritative. Just because one government department classifies Sheffield as "the North" doesn't mean everybody else perforce must do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Sheffield is in Yorkshire and Yorkshire is in the north. Much of what is now Sheffield was historically Derbyshire - possibly as much as half of it by now. Woodseats, after all, was a small Derbyshire village even into the 1890s. And Derbyshire, by common consent, is not in the North and never was. That's why the question of Sheffield is constantly disputed. Does a place which is in the East Midlands suddenly become part of the North just because a different council has taken it over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPFQ Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 South yorks is classed as north East by the OD (map people) but the answer would depend on what classification as could be just the North. Derbyshire even though its the same distance north near Edale, Hope Valley is referred to as North East midlands. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city centre, its cathedral and most of its area is in the historical county of Yorkshire. Totley, Dore, Norton, Beighton and the townships formerly in Derbyshire form a marginal area of Sheffield. Why does this daft notion keep on coming back to the forum? Sheffield is and always has been a Yorkshire city regardless of a few districts later being added to the city. If you have more time than you deserve you can argue that whilst it is a Yorkshire city, its borders straddle two counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
