From Carbrook in the East to the edge of the city centre of Sheffield, Attercliffe has had a dramatic past.
Back in the 1880s, the district was populated by small terraced houses and a shopping area which stretched for over 3 miles along Atercliffe Road, Attercliffe Common and Sheffield Road towards Tinsley.
Remnants of this era still stand with the John Banner building, an early multi floor department store located on Attercliffe Rd. Other buildings include the Adelphi cinema, Attercliffe Baths, Burton Buiding, Carbrook Hall and Attercliffe Church - a small building easy to miss tucked back from the main road into the city centre.
As for industry, Tinsley Wire and many other steelworks and light industrial companies survived alongside residential and small retail.
During the December 1940 German bombing campaign which devastated the city centre of Sheffield in error, Attercliffe was also badly destroyed with destruction from the city centre across to Tinsley canal locks. It took until the 1990s rebuilding of the old residential area to re-use the former area of the district affected by this historic incident.
Traditional areas of Attercliffe now house an interesting mix of old established industry, Adult stores, carpet warehouses and discount stores - including the old John Banner building. Towards the East end of Attercliffe, the area has been regenerated with medium sized business and a few remaining large steelworks.
The crowning point of Attercliffe however are the Olympic standard leisure facilities including the Don Valley Stadium, Ice stadium and nearby Meadowhall Retail Park, facilities to be proud of.
Carbrook Carbrook (grid reference SK390900) is an industrial area of Sheffield, to the north-east of Brightside. It is also the name of the local tram stop and contains Meadowhall Retail Park, an out of town retail park not to be confused with Meadowhall Shopping Centre which lies further north.

In the mid 1800s, the now Sheffield co-operative society founded the 'Brightside and Carbrook co-op', an important step in the development of the co-operative society in the region.
From the mid 1990s to date, Carbrook has been continually redeveloped with a number of household name companies attracted to the convenient location within 1 mile of the M1 motorway at junction 34. These include Abbey National, Freemans Plc and many retail outlets to include prestige marques such as BMW and Lexus.
Carbrook borders the former industrial village of Tinsley and has preserved a few of the older buildings such as the Sheffield Bus Museum, historic Carbrook Hall public house, the stone built Carbrook School and steelworks Tinsley Wire.
The main through route 'Attercliffe Road / Sheffield Road' is almost unrecognisable from it's pre 1980s design where it offered a mix of old steelworks houses and the last remaining small independant retailers trading from quaint but aged terrace house sized shop fronts. One such shop was known as 'Ronnies barbers', a long established traditional barber who worked well into his 80th year!
Carbrook now boasts a 20 screen cinema, retail park and the don valley stadium, a major music venue.
Darnall Darnall (grid reference SK388880) is a suburb eastern Sheffield, it was initially a small hamlet usually included with Attercliffe. It developed during the 19th century as an area housing steelworkers working in the large foundries of the Lower Don Valley. Darnall railway station was built to service the suburb, lying on the Sheffield to Lincoln line. Unemployment grew as the foundries shut or laid off many employees from the 1970s on, and the area is now one of the poorest in the city.

The choice of comprehensive schooling was compromised in the 1990s when the neighbouring secondry school 'park house comprehensive' was closed by Sheffield Education Department leaving just one secondry school of questionable output in the district.
To compound matters in Darnall, in 2003, wm Morrison stores pulled out of the district after over 20 years being a significant local hub for the local community. Relocating to a new purpose built store 2 miles away, the community felt let down by the move and also found the new store almost inaccessible by public transport to and from the district.
As of 2007, only Wilkinson stores survive as a national retail chain in the district along with just 2 banks and a selection of local shops.

Tinsley Tinsley (grid reference SK395907) is a district in the northeastern part of Sheffield. Its name derives from the Old English Tingas-Leah, which means 'Field of Council'. It is mentioned as 'Tirneslawe' or 'Tineslawe' in the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was in the possession of Roger de Busli. The chapel of St Laurence, Tinsley was built in 1877 on the site of an ancient (possibly of Anglo-Saxon origin) chapel.[1] An annual royal payment was received until 1847 in order that a service for the dead could be held.[2] The British national grid reference system is a system of geographic grid references commonly used in Great Britain, different from using latitude or longitude. ...

Companies such as George Cohen, the '600 works', Osbourn Hadfield and Brinsworth Strip Mills were proud occupants of the landscape near Tinsley and it's wholly industrial neighbouring district 'Templeborough'. Only the BOC plant remains within the village boundaries now with all the remaining works either demolished or preserved as a museum to what was the heart of Sheffield industry until 1985.
Today, replacing the steelworks on Vulcan Road is the Meadowhall shopping centre—one of the largest in the UK. The name Tinsley is also associated with the nearby former railway marshalling yard and the Tinsley Viaduct, which carries the M1 motorway across the Don valley.

Until the late 1980s, Tinsley was a well preserved and well respected area of the city of Sheffield. The centre of the village was the local co-op store and the community spirit was strong. A range of schools served the village and public transport was excellent. Sadly, the 1990s saw a rapid decline in the fortunes of the village with ethnic unrest, an increase in crime and the closure of the local secondary school 'Park House'.
Deregulation of public transport and high fares have led to a dramatic reduction in public transport which, due to the village location has led to the district offering less access to the nearby shopping facilities in Sheffield, Meadowhall and Rotherham.
Tinsley Recreation Ground In the centre of Tinsley is the Tinsley Recreation ground (sometimes referred to as "the Rec"). Recently part of this has been claimed as a community centre called Tinsley Green. The whole of the recreation ground has been repaired after years of vandlism and neglect by the council. It now has one of the most modern playgrounds in sheffield.
It now boasts a new 5-aside football pitch, Tennis court, modern child safe playground, adult rides and a cricket bowling practice area.
The future of Tinsley as a regenerated area is uncertain and despite many community initatives, the village remains without a single major brand supermarket or secondary school.
