Districts of Stannington Ward [edit]
Stannington Stannington (grid reference SK309889) is a district of Sheffield to the west of the city centre, located on the hill between the rivers Rivelin and Loxley. This district has grown from the two settlements of Upper Gate and Nethergate. Stannington officially became part of Sheffield in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. Previous to that it had been part of Wortley Rural District and was on the boundary of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Currently Stannington is notionally divided in to two parts: the village, which is part of the original Wortley district and marked by the "Rural District of Wortley" sign at the junction of Oldfield Road and Stannington Road; and the newer conurbations that primarily grew out from Malin Bridge from the 1960s onwards.
