How do you pronounce Shirecliffe?

Shercliffe wins!

My mother spent her teens with her parents in Shirecliffe before the war. As a child in Grimesthorpe I used to say oweegooinup Shercliffe. I now use Shyacliffe, probably because we moved to Shiregreen in 1957, which of course is pronounced Shyagreen, if you get my drift. Mother used Shercliffe, so therefore, Shercliffe must be right

Well me I've always lived in Yorkshire but pronounced it Yorksher and called it Shercliff...

Another one is Green hill, to me that's Grenill as in Greenwich...

I live in shirecliffe and pronounce it as shyacliffe.

[Owlsfan99 10]

Nope, never Shercliff. I was born in City General Hospital in 1954, living on Adkins Road and went to Shirecliffe Nursery and Infants.

It was pronounced Shirecliffe, precisely how it looks in the spelling.

Strange question......(-:

We moved tut Shercliffe in 1953, and that's what everyone called it right up to me leaving the country in 1970.

I use both, depends on what I feel like. Never met anyone who didn't understand where I ment apart from our lass and she's from Kent but then she does'n't understand most of what I say anyway!
