About Walkley
Where to stay in Walkley
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Three neighbours frame a stay in Walkley, and which of them the days point toward matters more than the address inside the suburb itself. Burngreave lies east. Hillsborough is north and Crookes to the south-west, so a room here can be swung toward either without shifting base, which is the practical use of a suburb hemmed by three others.
The Church of St Mary holds the middle.
About Walkley
What are the main landmarks in Walkley?
The register runs to two lines. Walkley files the Church of St Mary and the Caretakers House at Bole Hill Primary School, and nothing further is recorded for the suburb under any category the list keeps. Position does the rest.
Burngreave to the east, Hillsborough to the north and Crookes to the south-west are the fixed points a visitor actually navigates by in this part of Sheffield.
What is the history of Walkley?
Sheffield never dated the suburb's beginning. Walkley enters the account simply as a suburb of Sheffield in England, placed west of Burngreave, south of Hillsborough and north-east of Crookes, with no charter and no first settlement date given. Two buildings survive the list.
The Church of St Mary and the Caretakers House at Bole Hill Primary School are the two names the record keeps, one a church and the other tied to a school.
Where is Walkley?
