ratter71 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 its one of the better parts of lowedges, for what its worth. Better than lowedges crescent/lupton areas. Been a while since i lived round there tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeybaby72 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) Hi the1, I'm not sure what it's like up there now? But I lived on Atlantic Rd. for 5 years until 2001 when they knocked down the 3 towerblocks up there. It's not a bad place to live and it's handy for the shops at Woodseats (as well as Pubs and Food outlets). There was quite a problem with drugs in Lowedges back then, but as far as I know it's not as bad as it was by a long way. I was part of the 'Drug Scene' up there (I'm clean now since 2002). I have a couple of friends who still live there and they tell me it's calmed down alot since I left. All in all - I was one of the nicer places I've lived in since leaving home at age 18 (I'm 37 now). I have lived in Lodge Moor, Crooksmoor, Norfolk Park, Hunter's Bar, Nether Edge, Sharrow, Broomhill as well as spending a year on the streets in Town in '93/94. I suggest you go and have a look at it and 'see how it feels' to you. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl Here's a link to Google maps, Have a scan round on Street view. That should give you some idea of the place. Hope this Helps. :banana::banana: ---------------- Now playing: Johann Sebastian Bach - Italian Concerto BWV 971-3 via FoxyTunes Edited March 23, 2010 by mikeybaby72 Bad link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a while since i lived round there tho I'd definately agree it's better than Lupton - That's Rough as a bears back bit! But I can think of plenty of worse areas to live than Atlantic Crescent. Liberty Estate below Stannington for 1. :banana::banana: ---------------- Now playing: Mr.Benn.Ep.6.The.cook.Part.1 via FoxyTunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have to move from Hillsborough - I'd stay there rather than move right out to 'The Ledge'. It's quite a long way out, although shops & pubs at woodseats are far better than Hills. :banana::banana: ---------------- Now playing: Cigarettes & Alcohol via FoxyTunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the1 Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 I still live with parents and bidded for it. At 27, I thought it would be the right time lol. I am not sure wheather I want to waste my years (coming up to 5 in June) firstly on a bedsit and secondly on an area that I am not sure about. I think I may leave it and wait until something bigger comes along... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
