Why does Sheffield not appear on maps?

[OnlySheff 10]

Sheffield seems to be known for Meadowhell, and not much else......except flat caps and whippets. Is that why we arent on a map?

 

That seems pretty logical indeed, but still a bit strange in my opinion.

Bradford bigger than Newcastle and Manchester-a load of tosh and a statistical anomaly.

 

You can prove anything with facts.

I'm afraid you're in a valley of a hilly area, somewhere.

 

Accept it.

Source: http://www.ukcities.co.uk/populations/ - obviously based on population.

 

An interesting fact from that link:

 

Sheffield is a city in south Yorkshire with a population of 512,242. A staggering 20 million people actually live within a two hour drive of the city.

Did you know there are more signs for Ollerton on the motorways than there are for Sheffield? Ollerton must be one of the most drabbest places on the planet, yet it is more advertised than the home of steel. Why is that?

Ha ha!

 

I once drove quite close to Rotherham or Eastwood or whatever (what's in a name.) but I managed to escape any lasting symptoms.

An estate agent friend of mine tried to sell me a plot of land in rotherham a few years ago, but it looked a bit poor and was of no interest to me. I think he said the name of the plot was whiston.

7th biggest actually. Try googling Dore instead, it is much better known amongst the well healed of our planet.

 

Has there been an epidemic in Dore?

Why does Sheffield not appear on maps?

 

Because its called "Norton" (as any user of Google can tell you).

 

Does anyone know why Google decide that this city is called Norton?
