Walkley Walkley () is a suburb in the north west of Sheffield in
England. It lies north-east of
Crookes and south of
Hillsborough.
Netherthorpe Netherthorpe () is a
council estate lying south-east of the
Ponderosa open space. Originally an area of working-class Victorian terraces, it was reconstructed in the 1960s as an area of
tower blocks and medium-rise flats with a few houses. In the late 1990s the tower blocks were reclad and many of the other flats demolished and replaced by modern housing.
Upperthorpe Upperthorpe () lies north-west of the
Ponderosa open space and south east of Walkley. Building in the area began in the late
Georgian period, from which the former
infirmary (now offices) and a few houses survive. Construction continued, with many large Victorian houses and a car-free late-20th-century
housing estate surviving. The
Kelvin Flats were a landmark in the area, of similar design to now listed
Park Hill, but were demolished in the early 1990s. The area is served by the Infirmary Road
Sheffield Supertram stop. ==See also==
