LaughingCow Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I got to about page 5 and still couldn't believe Victoria St in Stocksbridge had been mentioned! Used to have to try and get back up to school in the dinner break and that used to pretty much finish me off if I'd had chippy lunch. St John's Rd in Deepcar isn't bad either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe9T Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 So in fact it is a list of the Top Six steepest hills for the Sheffield area! lol Top 8, because Hagg Hill and Victoria St in Stocksbridge are within the Sheffield boundary, i think!

Grahame Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Top 8, because Hagg Hill and Victoria St in Stocksbridge are within the Sheffield boundary, i think! People have been discussing which is the steepest road in Sheffield for a long time and there is a map here of old Sheffield. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~genmaps/genfiles/COU_files/ENG/YKS/creighton_sheffield_1835.html Stocksbridge only came into Sheffield in 1974. "1974 Abolition of the West Riding and creation of South Yorkshire, but Stocksbridge Urban District and the Civil Parish of Bradfield were now included in Sheffield Metropolitan District. The Urban District Council became Stocksbridge Town Council." http://www.stocksbridge-council.co.uk/local_history.htm Edited February 5, 2011 by Grahame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Have you seen this Grahame? http://www.1728.com/gradient.htm These days the gradient of a hill is given in terms of percentage. http://www.health-safety-signs.uk.com/cgi/products.pl?sign=DOT%20No%20523.1%20%20%2010%%20Steep%20hill%20downwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndhandrose Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 What about Langsett Avenue S6? My mum-in-law is always complaining about it when she has to walk up it from the 'Tram. It now has extra problems in the large holes it has acquired after the winter...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Many years ago I was informed that Black Street is the steepest so would think it still is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
