Sheffield Road

Hathersage Road is a road in Sheffield. It leads south-west from the suburb of Whirlow to the border between Hathersage and Sheffield, before becoming Sheffield Road at the point called Surprise View. The road starts at bridge on the Limb Brook, the former boundary between Yorkshire and Derbyshire. There the road changes name from Ecclesall Road South to Hathersage Road.

Sheffield roads - Inner Relief Road

Here is some more information about the new relief road in Sheffield by the Wicker. And yes, I still get lost although I have lived here all my life!

The new 1.5km dual carriageway between the Wicker and Penistone Road was officially opened by Minister for Transport, Rosie Winterton MP on Thursday 22nd November 2007.

Motorists approaching from Sheaf Street towards Penistone Road and Don Valley should go through Park Square to the Cutlers Gate/Parkway junction and turn left onto the new road.
Parkway traffic heading to Penistone Road and the Don Valley should turn right at the Cutlers Gate junction.

Exchange Place is now only for access to the Wicker area. Similarly traffic from Shalesmoor and Mowbray Street should follow the new road round to the Cutlers Gate/Parkway junction.

Again Nursery Street is now only for access to the Wicker area. There are two lanes available all the way round the new road for these movements.

Construction of a new 1.5km dual carriageway between the Wicker and Penistone Road officially started in November 2004. The Government has committed £56m in funding for this new carriageway, which will close a major gap in Sheffield’s partial Inner Ring Road.

Stage 1 of the Inner Ring Road, running between Sheffield Parkway and the Wicker, was fully opened to traffic in April 2000 and is now called "Cutlers Gate". Construction of Stage 2 will bring benefits to all highway users and will also be vital in providing better access to the major regeneration projects in and around the City Centre.

The main aims of the IRR are to:

Remove unnecessary through traffic from the City Centre by providing a dedicated route around it.
Improve access to the City Centre and adjacent areas for all those who need it, however they choose to travel.
Re-integrate Victoria Quays, the Law Courts, Exchange Riverside and the Wicker areas with the City Centre
Aid regeneration of the City Centre and areas immediately adjacent to the IRR
Improve the City Centre environment

Sheffield Hallam

Sheffield Hallam is based in the heart of Sheffield. Major road and rail networks link Sheffield Hallam directly with the rest of the country and the city itself is served by excellent bus and supertram services. The City Campus is directly adjacent to Sheffield's central Passenger Transport Interchange at Pond Street, and is a two minute walk from Sheffield's Midland railway station. There is a taxi rank outside the railway station and the journey time to Collegiate Crescent Campus is around 10 minutes.

Sheffield's motorway link is the M1, junctions 33 and 34. You are recommended to leave at junction 33 and proceed into the city centre by way of the Parkway (A630). Sheffield's National coach service for long distance travel is comprehensive and efficient. Its central pick up and terminal point is at the Transport Interchange.

Regular inter-city services operate between Sheffield and other main line towns and cities.
London is two-and-a-half hours away by train, Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham one hour and Edinburgh four hours. Sheffield's Midland Station is just a two minute walk away from our City Campus and the nearby Transport Interchange links you directly to our other campus at Collegiate Crescent.

Sheffield Forum

Every large town or city seems to have a decent size forum these days. As more people become reliant on the internet for local news, reviews, shopping and other useful information, the forums seem to grow in stature and usability.

The local forum for Sheffield is http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/, where there is not only a business directory for everything Sheffield, but also a very succesful forum with over 60,000 members and almost 200,000 topics.

At the last glance there were 12 moderators and 7 assistant moderators, just showing how big a project these forums really are.

Sheffield Girls

Having attended Silverdale school at Bents Green, I used to catch the number 50 bus from Dore to Parkhead shops. There were always plenty of Sheffield High School girls on the bus, and I made a few friends along the years.

I recently noticed that there were quite a few fairly famous ex pupils, so popped on the internet to have a check (like you do!).

A few of note include Deborah Ann Barham, A. S. Byatt (novelist), Margaret Drabble the novelist (and sister of A.S. Byatt). Angela Knight, the now ex MP for Erewash, who was also responsible for the £2 coin went to Sheffield Girls High.

Naomi Siddall who plays for the England national netball team was also a pupil at Sheffield Girls.

Sheffield House

For a long time, especially when I was growing up in Chapeltown, I didn't realise how lucky we were with the availability of housing and the relatively low prices compared with more modern cities like Manchester and Birmingham.

However, looking around recently at prices as I need a bigger house now my baby is here, we are definately more in line with Leeds and Manchester. The postcodes S10 and S11 seem to be inaccessible to younger families on an average income, and as my partner doesn't work I would find it hard to make a move to these locations.

We are currently experiencing a downturn in the market but Sheffield has always been a buoyant city when it comes to national trends. It seems that because we are still experiencing good growth the trends don't hit us quite as hard as more developed towns.

Sheffield United

The pressure is on, and doesn't Mr Blackwell know it... You only have to look at the fans' treatment of Bryan Robson just a few games into last season, to remember how expectant the Blades faithful really are.

With arguably the best squad in the Championship, including the teams relegated from the Premiership, it will need to be a succesful August if the manager wants to have the fans on his side.

With James Beattie almost 100% staying at the lane, they have the experience and quality to push for not only play-offs but for the actual Championship title. However, a similar start to last season and it'll be an uncomfortable Autumn for Blackwell and company.

Sheffield Wednesday

So with the takeover rumours still very much in the spotlight, it would seem that Sheffield Wednesday are in the middle of real case of 'sliding doors'.

The season, and the near future, very much rests on the outcome of the Geoff Sheard interest, and many fans are worried that should talks fall down, then the season is very much over before it began.

It would now appear that even loyal supporters are waiting for the outcome, as season ticket sales are down with the propect of another under-achieving year ahead.

Watch this space, as within the next few weeks the Wednesdayite ballot process will have helped swing things one way or the other. Just a few weeks and the fans will know if it's (more) doom and gloom, or the turning point after a decade in the shadows...

Sheffield University

With courses consistently rated among the best in the UK, an award-winning Union of Students and world-class teaching staff and facilities, the University of Sheffield is a great place to study.

In recent reports the University was seen as one of the safest places to study, especially considering the size of the city and in comparison with other large universities.

Sheffield

What an amazing city

Sheffield is really just a big village. Built on a number of hills overlooking each other, Sheffield consists of many small towns in reality, making us kind of unique for the size of city we live in. Not all the night life and shopping is in the centre, which is a big difference to other cities of a similar size.

Heart of England. Sheffield is the gateway between the North and South of England, which is one reason why we are so popular a choice for students from across the country.
