Hillsborough Feature
TAKE A STROLL THROUGH HILLSBOROUGH
This week, we take a walk through Hillsborough - full of history and quirky features.
Hillsborough has faced some adversity in its journey to being the hub of activity that it is now.
It has one of the country’s top dog racing tracks, a casino, a leisure centre and a football ground – home of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club.
The Great Sheffield Flood caused much devastation in Sheffield and approximately 42 people were killed in the Hillsborough area alone. It was also host to a terrible football disaster which is still a widely-debated subject now.
Fans of architecture will find a few treasures too, such as the red brick church and the former Victorian swimming baths that is now a pub. But what we’re featuring here are the businesses that trade in the Hillsborough area. A hotspot for shoppers, Hillsborough has a wide selection of shops and businesses with easy transport links to the city centre and other areas of Sheffield. It lies at the point where the River Loxley and the River Rivelin flow into the River Don, making for a thriving place to visit full of history.
With the success of the steel and engineering industries in Sheffield, the area began to recover as there was an increased demand for suburban housing. The arrival of the tram in 1903 was a big boost to the development of the suburb; it initially ran as far as the top of Parkside Road before extending to Middlewood in 1913. House building continued until around 1909 when most of present day Hillsborough’s road infrastructure had been created.
The name of the suburb comes from Hillsborough House built and named in 1779 in tribute to the Earl of Hillsborough who lived in Hillsborough, County Down. For 124 years the house was a private dwelling, but since 1906 it has housed the Hillsborough branch library.
Hillsborough made history after a deal made last year, when the Bassets factory became the first place in England to manufacture the world-famous biscuit Oreo, adding to the list of global brands already being produced in Sheffield. It’s also plays host to Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, one of the oldest professional clubs in the world and the third oldest in the English league. The team have played their home games at the Hillsborough Stadium, previously named Owlerton, since 1899.
The centre of Hillsborough is known as Hillsborough corner, where Langsett Road, Middlewood Road, Holme Lane and Bradfield Road all meet.
Here is where shoppers can find a wide selection of independent businesses in the heart of Hillsborough. The place continues to thrive with amenities such as butchers, florists, and many family run businesses in addition to its selection of cafes, bars and restaurants. The shopping centre, Hillsborough Exchange, sits on Middlewood Road and features an array of shops to make for a worthwhile trip for anyone looking to shop for a day.
