Hallamshire is often used as a synonym for Hallam, which has come to mean, broadly speaking, that area of Yorkshire in the foothills of the Peak District and southwest of the River Don. The region includes much of western Sheffield, and the parish of Bradfield.
Sheffield Hallam is a parliamentary constituency in western Sheffield, and is one of the wealthiest areas in Britain. In fact, the 2004 Barclays Bank Financial Planning study [1] (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3871857.stm)revealed that, in 2003, the Sheffield district of Hallam was the highest ranking area outside London for overall wealth, the proportion of people earning over £60,000 a year standing at almost 12%.
Sheffield is the largest city in the county of South Yorkshire, and Sheffield residents are proud of their perceived character: South Yorkshire residents pride themselves on a warmth and hospitality that isn't found in other northern cities.
Sheffield is not only is the city home to two universities (the University of Sheffield and SheffieldHallam University) with excellent ratings in both teaching and research, it is also proving to be an increasingly attractive place for graduates to settle in.
Sheffield is the perfect city base to explore the Peak District, not only because it is the closest city to the northern half of "the Peaks" (some of the national park lies within the city boundary) but because bus and train links from Sheffield into the Peaks are excellent for such rural services.
