About

Walkley sits on a steep hillside northwest of Sheffield city centre, characterised by its Victorian terraced housing that climbs the slopes. The area functions primarily as a residential suburb, with local shopping needs met along South Road and Howard Road, where independent shops, cafes, and pubs serve the community.

The area's topography is defining; many streets are notably steep, with some pavements featuring the original stone-cut channels for managing water runoff. This creates a distinct streetscape that reflects its industrial-era planning, separate from the flatter valley areas historically associated with Sheffield's heavier manufacturing.
