About Attercliffe
Where to stay in Attercliffe
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Two names decide it. The Olympic Legacy Park and the Park Community Arena are what bring most visitors to this stretch of the River Don, and a bed anywhere in Attercliffe is chosen against how near it sits to those two. Attercliffe keeps to the south bank.
Everything else belongs to Sheffield proper, and the Darnall ward of Sheffield City Council is the administrative frame that ties the suburb back to it.
About Attercliffe
What are the main landmarks in Attercliffe?
Two sites, and no more. The Olympic Legacy Park and the Park Community Arena are the only entries the register keeps under Attercliffe, which leaves a suburb of northeast Sheffield defined on paper by two large open sites rather than by listed buildings. No church appears on the list.
No hall, no monument, no cemetery either, and the industrial fabric the suburb is recorded for goes unlisted.
What is the history of Attercliffe?
A date for Attercliffe's beginning was never set down. Attercliffe is set down as an industrial suburb on the south bank of the River Don, in northeast Sheffield, and that industrial character is the whole of what the entry says about its past. Administration accounts for the rest.
The suburb falls inside the Darnall ward of Sheffield City Council, while the Olympic Legacy Park and the Park Community Arena are the only two named sites the register has attached to it.
