Where to stay in Malinbridge
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
One bridge, four neighbours. A room in Malinbridge sits two and a half miles from the Sheffield city centre, hemmed in by Hillsborough, Wisewood, Walkley and Stannington, and the district is small enough that a bed here is a matter of luck rather than choice. Hillsborough is the larger neighbour.
If you want the Loxley and the Rivelin at the end of the street, try the crossing; for any real spread of rooms, the city centre answers better.

About Malinbridge
What are the main landmarks in Malinbridge?
St Polycarp's heads a short list. Beside it stand the monument and railings to GH Foster, set a few paces west of St Michaels Cemetery Chapel, and that pair is the only other protected structure the district can point a visitor towards. The bridge does the rest.
Everything at Malinbridge gathers at the crossing that carries the Stannington road over the Loxley, and the water beneath is the same river.
What is the history of Malinbridge?
Malinbridge grew up small, centred on the road bridge over the River Loxley, and the Stannington road still crosses there. Cemetery ground marks the older layer, where the monument and railings to GH Foster stand a few paces west of St Michaels Cemetery Chapel and are protected as a single entry. St Polycarp's serves the parish.
No founding year is recorded, and what the record hands over instead is pure geography, two rivers, one crossing, and the suburbs of Hillsborough, Wisewood, Walkley and Stannington pressed against every edge.
Where is Malinbridge?
