Brightside Brightside () is an industrial area of Sheffield, lying on a hill north of
Attercliffe and the
River Don.
Brightside and Carbrook Co-operative Society opened its first shop in 1868, taking its name from this area and the nearby district of
Carbrook.
Shiregreen Shiregreen () is a mainly
residential area to the north of
Firth Park and north-west of
Meadowhall. The settlement originated in the Middle Ages around the farmstead later known as Crowder House, first known from a deed of 1402. A number of hamlets stood on the site, including
Reynaldthorpe, Over Hartley and Hartley Brook. Nearby cottages were built, known as the Bell Houses and the Hadfield Houses, housing farm workers and a
fork-making industry. Both sets of houses gave their names to roads in the area, Bellhouse Road and Hatfield House Lane. The Church of St James and St Christopher is located on Bellhouse Road in Shiregreen.
Wincobank Wincobank ( ; ) is a
suburb of
Sheffield, located in the north-east of the city, overlooking the nearby
Meadowhall shopping centre and the
Tinsley Viaduct. An
Iron Age hill fort was constructed at Wincobank by the Celtic
Brigantes tribe, standing on the summit of a steep hill above the
River Don. It is possible that here, during the 1st century, the Brigantes attempted to defend against the northward advance of the
Roman legions. An ancient defensive dyke called
Roman Rig runs from the fort to
Mexborough. Wincobank is home to St Thomas Boxing School which has produced some of Britain's best boxers of recent years including
Herol 'Bomber' Graham,
Naseem Hamed and
Johnny Nelson. The labour activist
Jack Murphy was born in Wincobank . In 1922 the artist,
Stanley Royle, painted the view from Wincobank in his painting, Sheffield from Wincobank Wood, one of four large views in oils of Sheffield, commissioned by Frederick Horner, a local art dealer.
Concord Park lies between Shiregreen and Wincobank. ==References==
