Sharrow History [ edit ]

References Before the 19th century, the area that is now Nether Edge was largely rural, the only clusters of cottages
External links being the small medieval hamlet of Cherry Tree Hill and a small hamlet at Machon Bank. Much of the
development of the area was undertaken by George Wostenholm, a local cutler who from 1836 onward Shown within Sheffield
purchased a large area of land east of Brincliffe Edge.[3] Area 1.31 sq mi (3.4 km2)

Wostenholm's home, Kenwood House, and the surrounding park (now the Kenwood Hall Hotel) took up a Population 18,890 (2011
census)[1]
large portion of the land, the garden designer, Robert Marnock laid out the surrounding roads as a series of

curving avenues and the remaining land sold off for development. As a result, many of the homes in the

area are spacious Victorian houses that were owned by local cutlers and businessmen.[4]

Banner Cross [ edit ]

Banner Cross is a district of Sheffield centred on the intersection of Ecclesall Road and Psalter Lane. This district is split evenly between Nether Edge
and Ecclesall Wards. Banner Cross Hall, an ancient esquire seat, was virtually rebuilt in 1820. The main place of worship is Banner Cross Methodist
Church. The nearby Banner Cross pub gained infamy when the notorious criminal Charles Peace shot and killed Arthur Dyson in the passageway beside
the pub on 29 November 1876. The base of an old stone cross still remained at Banner Cross in 1819.[7] Addy (1888)[8] suggested that the name derives
from bæna kross, meaning the cross of prayers.

Sharrow [ edit ]

Sharrow is a suburb of Sheffield located directly southwest of Sheffield city centre. Sharrow's back to back terraced housing in Little Sheffield was
redeveloped in the 1970s to provide modern, high density accommodation for the area's working class population. During the 1980s, cultural, economic
and social tensions contributed to a general decline of the district. With the economic resurgence of Sheffield in the late 1990s, Sharrow has benefited
from considerable inward investment both in improved housing stock and through development of local initiatives such as the small business enterprise
unit at Sheffield United F.C.'s Bramall Lane ground in nearby Highfield.
