Revel Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) There are quite often signs. ---------- Post added 10-08-2017 at 21:17 ---------- Says it's an electoral ward of Sheffield, presumably the OP meant the city of Sheffield though, not the electoral ward! Should we then consider Halway, Killamarsh, Wales, Kiveton, Todwick, Anston and Dinnington to be part of the city? How do you draw the line between part of the city and a village outside the city? Driving into Halfway/Mosborough from Eckington, there are clear signs saying "City of Sheffield". Beighton is, also, definitely in Sheffield. Killamarsh is in Derbyshire. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Sheffield+District/@53.3882699,-1.4496384,11z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x48797f136cffde35:0x40cf99eed6ce2a0!8m2!3d53.4021037!4d-1.5550512?hl=en Edited August 10, 2017 by Revel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking to do a council exchange but not sure where is the best places to move to. The last thimk i want to do is make the big mistake and regret the move. Can you tell me which are the best places to move to and which areas to stay clear of please. Thank alot for your help :-) Did you want to live in the city centre, a suburb, a village, or something that is like a village, but which is apparently somehow part of "the city" despite being 10 miles from the city centre down dual carriageways?

Halfway is part of the historic county of Derbyshire but has been administered by Sheffield since boundary changes in 1967. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosborough_(ward)#Halfway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your argument about whether an area is or isn't in a city based on saying to someone you'll see them in Sheffield is bizarre. If someone said to me I'll see you in Sheffield I might be a bit inclined to ask where as it's a bit hit and miss otherwise... Officially Halfway most definitely is in Sheffield metropolitan area, Aston and the like are in Rotherham metropolitan area. Halfway residents pay their council tax to Sheffield and Aston to Rotherham. Your council tax invoice also contains information bearing to which area you are in including local parish area. If someone said to me they were looking to move back to Sheffield and wanted to know about areas I'd most definitely include Halfway and Beighton in my advice, same as Oughtibridge!
