Jon26 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Didn't Dore used to be part of Dronfield, back in the days when Sheffield, Norton and Dronfield were of a similar size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Who says Derbyshire want's Totley or Dore? Shall I post a poll on the Chesterfield Forum I wager that when they saw the possibility of the incoming council tax, they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but I think that it was Totley. There are many Totley folks graves in Holmesfield grave yard, I believe that Holmesfield was in the parish of Dronfield.

alex3659 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Beighton became part of Sheffield in 1968 when it was a village with a bus every 2 hours to Sheffield and the Booth and Fisher to Chesterfield. The surrounding townships have all been built since and the place is not nearly as community spirited as it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I don't see folk from S17 insulting people because of where they live. Apart from manofstrad - who obviously lives somewhere else anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Now that was a point I didn't think about S17 is the council's jewel in the crown, no council tax exempt student properties here, as in S10 and S11, this city would be a dead duck without it.

alex3659 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I wonder if any residents still living in Totley can remember it becoming part of Sheffield in 1935, the fact is most people now living in Totley knew it was part of Sheffield when they either moved there or were old enough to realise.

Yes, Beighton deserves a shout, as does Ridgeway, Mosborough, Gleadless and all the other districts that Sheffield nicked from Derbyshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
