wharncliffe side is a sh*t hole… i lived there for 4 years. inbred dump.
oughtibridge isnt too bad, further up the hill (on the way to the woods) is a little better, but can be a bit '6 fingers' if you walk into a pub.
penistone, that's alright, a little remote and quiet – not a bad thing, but it just seems a little 'dead' as a place to live/be.
further round the edge of sheffield, loxley/back and beyond of walkley surrounding area's is a little better, but there can be some scrotes in hilsborough especially around football time.
'that end' of sheffield never really did anything for me and I found it quite bland, when i moved to lodge moor that was much better, still nice and quiet but with a much easier access to the centre when you wanted and riding exactly on your doorstep. personally, i'd look at that end of town.
all imo of course 😉
