Where to stay in Walkley
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
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.
