Where to stay in Sharrow
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Sharrow sits directly southwest of Sheffield city centre, and that single fact governs how a bed here is chosen. Rooms cluster toward the city end. The General Cemetery, Collegiate Hall, Sharrow Head House and Montague House all fall inside the Nether Edge and Sharrow ward, so a room taken anywhere in the suburb keeps that short list of addresses within an ordinary walk.
Beyond them the city takes over.

About Sharrow
What are the main landmarks in Sharrow?
Nine entries carry Sharrow's name. The General Cemetery accounts for four of them on its own: the monument to Mark Firth east of the new chapel, the monument to William Parker southwest of the old chapel, the James Nicholson Memorial and the George Bennet Memorial. Buildings make up the rest.
Collegiate Hall, Montague House, Sharrow Head House, The Edge, and the Baptist Church and Adjoining Sunday School complete the register.
What is the history of Sharrow?
What Sharrow lacks is a start date. The record keeps instead a set of names cut into stone at the General Cemetery: Mark Firth, William Parker, James Nicholson and George Bennet, each commemorated by a marker that survives. Houses carry the remainder.
Montague House, Sharrow Head House and Collegiate Hall are all listed under the suburb, as is the Baptist Church with its adjoining Sunday School, and between them these buildings account for nearly everything filed outside the cemetery walls.
Where is Sharrow?
Sharrow occupies the ground running southwest from Sheffield city centre, and falls inside the Nether Edge and Sharrow ward of the city.
