History

Fulwood ward was created when Sheffield's electoral wards were redrawn in June 2004, prior to that most of the Fulwood ward was the old Hallam ward — created in 1934 when the Ecclesall Bierlow ward was subdivided. It covers most of the area that was Upper Hallam—one of the six townships that made up ancient parish of Sheffield. This area was sparsely populated well into the 19th century. In 1811 there were only 866 residents in its 8836 acres (36 km²). A description of Sheffield from 1832 describes the area as "wild and dreary, with a population scanty in the extreme". Redmires road, which runs from the Redmires reservoirs across the ward to Crookes, follows the course of a Roman road that ran from Templeborough to Brough-on-Noe. This road passes Hallam Head, which some have suggested may be the site of the village of Hallam and therefore possibly the Aula of Waltheof mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086 (note, however, that most historians believe that this Aula was in Sheffield, where Sheffield Castle once stood). 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
