I can't help but think that the Kelham Island name and branding is just being used as an estate agent marketing tool to try and increase the value of property outside the Kelham area and ditto by new residents in the area.  The actual Kelham island is a relatively small area and in no way covers the much larger area that some people try to claim as Kelham.

 

Given that places mean a lot to people (as well as their history) I'd much rather stick with what the locations were (and still are) originally called.  What is up with Neepsend or Parkwood Springs or Shalesmoor or Bridgehouses or West Bar.  Why is Kelham Flea located in Neepsend, Why is Kelham Chippy at West Bar, Why is Kelham Books located in Shalesmoor?

 

Just my view I know but it saddens me to see these historic name places being lost to a marketing exercise.  The very special area of Kelham Island is being slowly transformed and is becoming a shadow of what made it so special.

 

 

Bang on the nail Dr, These so called socialist on Council will bend or backwards for the upwardly mobile mob in Sheffield , mainly because most of them are part of their carry on .
