Very interesting! I think there's a distinct neighbourhood which is generally thought of as Hunters Bar: this would be a wedge whose boundaries are Ecclesall Road to the north and west as far as Greystones Road junction, Psalter Lane to the south, and Frog Walk/ roundabout at the top of Sharrow Lane to the east. Definitely not generally thought of as Nether Edge although that's where it lies at the moment. And some in the area I'm talking about would say they are in Sharrow Vale, as distinct from Sharrow or Hunters Bar. But that's what's interesting and challenging about the concept of neighbourhoods, it's all quite subjective.
Great idea - I look forward to hearing more about the project. Mulling over the 'boundaries' of Walkley is always good for a lively debate round these parts! I'm a bit miffed to see that Bentley Road, where I live, has been shoehorned into Crookes instead of being shown in its natural (and historic) place in Upper Walkley. Is this something the Council came up with for their boundary map? I wonder why. It doesn't tally with Ward bounaries - I'm in the Walkley Ward for local elections, and have a very Walkley S6 postcode rather than a typically Crookes S10. Strange, too, that Walkley Bank, (but not , for example, Lower Walkley or Upper Walkley) is shown as a separate area from Walkley, taking in a much larger area than I think of as Walkley Bank. (Presumably there are people arguing about this sort of thing in all of your 148 neighbourhoods!) Frances Soar
Great! Thank you. Am I right in thinking that you've popped your details into our form to be kept up to date? If so, we'll be sending out some communications next week. The link is in the article above if not.

Thanks, Celia. Yes, it's very subjective and that's where it will get interesting. It will certainly be an analysis challenge!

Thanks, Frances. These are exactly the sorts of things we're hoping to explore!
Really fascinating, would love to help out if possible
