About Woodseats
Where to stay in Woodseats
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Derbyshire Lane is the spine here. The old village of Norton Woodseats straddled that road between Four Lane Ends and Bolehill, and the line it drew still gives the district its most useful sense of where a bed sits. Graves Park names the ward.
Beyond the lane the choice thins, and most visitors will weigh a room in Woodseats against one nearer the middle of Sheffield in South Yorkshire.
About Woodseats
What are the main landmarks in Woodseats?
No listed monument carries the name. What Woodseats has instead is a road and its two ends: Derbyshire Lane, running from Four Lane Ends to Bolehill, is the feature the record fixes the old village against. Graves Park names the ward it sits in.
Beyond those, the register attaches no church, no hall and no memorial to the district, which leaves Derbyshire Lane and the Graves Park ward as the whole of what a visitor can be pointed toward.
What is the history of Woodseats?
Woodseats begins as Norton Woodseats. The village straddled Derbyshire Lane, which ran from Four Lane Ends to Bolehill, and it lay originally in Derbyshire and not in the City of Sheffield. That changed in 1901.
From that year Norton Woodseats formed part of the City of Sheffield, and the district is recorded in South Yorkshire, England, within the Graves Park ward.
Where is Woodseats?
Woodseats lies in the Graves Park ward of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, on the ground Derbyshire Lane crosses between Four Lane Ends and Bolehill.
