Districts of Shiregreen and Brightside ward

Brightside

{{main|Brightside, Sheffield}}

Brightside ({{gbmapping|SK375898}}) is an industrial area of Sheffield, lying on a hill north of Attercliffe and the River Don.

Shiregreen

Shiregreen ({{gbmapping|SK370930}}) is a mainly residential area to the north of the Northern General Hospital and north-west of Meadowhall.

The settlement originated in the Middle Ages around the farmstead later known as Crowder House, first known from a deed of 1402. The building survived largely intact into the nineteenth century, but was later demolished and replaced by Shiregreen Methodist Church. Other cottages were built around the farm, known as the Bell Houses and the Hadfield Houses, housing farm workers and a fork-making industry. Both sets of houses gave their name to roads in the suburb.[2]

Wincobank

Wincobank ({{gbmapping|SK383913}}) is a suburb of Sheffield, located in the north-east of the city, overlooking the nearby Meadowhall shopping centre and the Tinsley Viaduct.

An Iron Age hill fort was constructed at Wincobank by the Celtic Brigantes tribe, standing on the summit of a steep hill above the River Don. It is possible that here, during the 1st century, the Brigantes attempted to defend against the northward advance of the Roman legions. An ancient defensive dyke called Roman Rig runs from the fort to Mexborough.

Wincobank is home to St Thomas Boxing school which has produced some of Britain's best boxers of recent years including Herol 'Bomber' Graham, Naseem Hamed and Johnny Nelson.

The labour activist Jack Murphy was born in Wincobank .[3]
