Southey Green West

Southey Green West sits in the north of Sheffield within the S5 postal area, a largely residential neighbourhood built up through the mid 20th century. Housing is mainly terraces and semi-detached homes with pockets of later infill. A small parade of shops, a primary school and community spaces provide everyday services; local traders and schools serve most daily needs so residents rarely need to travel far for basics. Street-scale features include short runs of housing that back onto allotment plots and minor green strips.

The area is served by regular bus routes that link to the city centre and northern suburbs, and journeys by road use the A61 corridor to connect with wider parts of Sheffield. Several streets are arranged around small communal greens, a layout that remains from the original council development and is used for local play and simple gatherings. Community groups organise occasional events in the halls and on the greens, and the neighbourhood’s scale makes it straightforward to walk to shops and schools.
