BradwayBradway is a part of the Dore and Totley ward of Sheffield in South Yorkshire and it shares borders with Whirlow as well as the Dore and Totley areas from which the ward takes its name. Together with these three locations Bradway makes up one of the current (as of 2010) twenty eight electoral wards of Sheffield. Bradway is nestled in the south west of the city, whilst it is quite small in geographical area itself Dore and Totley has a combined area of some 26.3 km2 making it one of the larger wards in the city. The last census (at the time of writing) was taken in 2001 and the Bradway, Dore, Totley and Whirlow combined area boasted a population of 16,400 people in 7,000 houses. As a main part of Sheffield Dore and Totley (including Bradway) makes up one of the five main wards of Sheffield Hallam district. The Bradway, Dore, Totley and Whirlow combined area is a location that is steeped in history however many parts of it were not considered a part of South Yorkshire, in fact it was not until 1934 when it left Derbyshire and joined Yorkshire that it became well recognised by many. Urban sprawl has resulted in these former outlying villages becoming suburbs of Sheffield itself, with the Dore area next to Bradway being one of the most wealthy suburbs in the Sheffield and South Yorkshire regions. This affluent reputation is shared with neighbouring Totley, itself situated on the Yorkshire Derbyshire boundary and nestling next to Bradway. The area is actually mentioned in the Domesday book in 1086 and it is understood that it was once a forest clearing under ownership of a Saxon lord. One of the most famous landmarks in the Bradway, Dore, Totley and Whirlow areas is the famous Totley hall that was first constructed in 1623. It has served as a teacher training college in modern times before becoming a part of Sheffield Hallam University. The region sits neatly against the beautiful River Sheaf, and it also boasts the longest underland railway tunnel in the United Kingdom. The Bradway suburb itself is actually a combination of three former villages that once belonged to Derbyshire, Upper Bradway, Lower Bradway and Bradway. After joining Sheffield in the 1930's these villages were gradually absorbed and became suburbs of the main city. The area is an important transport hub and has been throughout history, the famous tunnel opened in 1870 and it carries the Midland Main Line from Sheffield to Chesterfield. Bradway (and the adjoining Dore, Totley and Whirlow areas) are well served by schools including Dore Primary School, Sir Harold Jackson Primary School, The Rowan Special School, Totley All Saints Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Totley Primary School and King Ecgbert School. |
