Sheffields highest and lowest points above sea level???

[BILDEBORG 10]

it seems before anyone can find out a different the highest point within the sheffield post code,is the junction of mortimer road and cranberry road sheffield s36 s9 and also mortimer appears to be the longest road in the sheffield postal district

 

When I lived in the Peak district in the 70's, we had a Sheffield postcode, and we were well high up.

[bigbladerob 10]

but was that actually classed as sheffield? Barnsley has a sheffield post code but thankfully its not classed as sheffield!

Ive always thought it was the road running up through ringinglow 417m at its highest point.

 

Although in the sheffield boundaries according to this site margery hill is at 546m but its irrelevant as no one lives there.

 

Lowest that i no of is a part of woodhouse at 35m asl on the b6200

Would that be because of the big 'ruler' on the side of the bridge in the river?

Margery Hill on Howden Moors at 546m is the highest point within Sheffield's boundaries. That's 1791.3 feet. Quick! Let's put a 9-foot pole there to get to 1800 feet.

 

The Sheffield side of the canal opposite the end of Steel Street on the Sheffield/Rotherham boundary at about 25m is the lowest point within Sheffield's boundaries.

 

I don't quite live up a mountain at only 172m (564 feet) at my place.

My old grandfather was a keen collector of Sheffield trivia. Hw always said that the highest point in Sheffield was Mount Zion at Crookes.

Crookes Cemetary is the highest part of Crookes and is only 240m above sea level.

Crookes Cemetary is the highest part of Crookes and is only 240m above sea level.

 

I'd guess that at one time Crookes was the highest point in Sheffield with housing.

High neb is around 459m i think still pretty high.

Personally, I believe the highest point is Hallam Grange Road, Lodge Moor (five minutes from where I live).

 

You can look out toward Lincoln (the cathedral is easy to spot) or in the other direction, over Hallam Golf Course, look down onto Hillsborough or out toward Stocksbridge.

 

Having said this, you can go higher up Ringinglow Road but I'm not sure this is within the city's boundaries.

Can you really see Lincoln Cathedral from there?
