About

Meersbrook is a residential suburb situated on a south-facing slope approximately two miles from Sheffield city centre. The area is characterised by its Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, which lines streets that follow the contours of the hill. Meersbrook Park forms a significant green space at its heart, offering expansive views across the city from its upper paths. Local amenities are concentrated along Chesterfield Road and Abbeydale Road, providing everyday shops and services.

The area is notably defined by the presence of the Bishops' House, a rare surviving timber-framed manor house from the 1500s, which sits within the park. This historical landmark contrasts with the generally 19th-century architecture of the surrounding streets. Meersbrook's elevated position and the park's layout create a distinct sense of separation from the more densely built-up areas nearby, contributing to a quieter, neighbourhood atmosphere.
