Burngreave

Burngreave, located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, is an inner-city district just north of the city centre. With a population of 27,481 as per the 2011 census, it has a rich history dating back to the latter half of the 19th century. The region was predominantly occupied by Burnt Greave wood before its development. Much of the former wood now houses the Burngreave Cemetery, established in 1860 and expanded in the early 1900s. Traversing Burngreave, you'll find Grimesthorpe Lane, an ancient thoroughfare that aligns with the Roman Rig—a defensive embankment likely constructed by the Celtic Brigantes tribe, stretching between the Wicker and Mexborough. Whether exploring historic landmarks or embracing the urban charm, Burngreave offers a unique blend of past and present for visitors to discover.
