About

Woodhouse Mill sits on the eastern edge of Sheffield within the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire. The area is a small linear settlement clustered along local lanes and the banks of the River Rother, with a mix of houses, small shops and community facilities. The place name records a mill that appears on 19th‑century maps beside the river, and the course of that waterway remains a defining feature of the local layout. Residential streets meet pockets of open land and allotments that step down to riverside vegetation, giving a clear edge between built-up areas and the floodplain.

Transport links reflect the location between city and town: local bus services connect to Sheffield and Rotherham, and short drives reach main A‑roads for longer journeys. Former industrial routes and railway corridors lie close by and are used for walking and cycling in parts, providing direct routes into neighbouring suburbs. The community is used by commuters as well as longer‑standing households, and local activity tends to centre on the river corridor and the modest cluster of shops and services within the settlement.
