Burngreave

Burngreave () is a suburb of Sheffield that started to develop in the second half of the 19th century. Prior to this, this area was mostly covered by Burnt Greave wood (most of the area of the wood is now covered by Burngreave cemetery). Grimesthorpe Lane, which runs through Burngreave, is a very old road that follows the course of the Roman Ridge a man-made defensive ridge—probably built by the Celtic Brigantes tribe—that used to run from near the Wicker to Mexborough.

Most of the ward is served by a free community newspaper, the Burngreave Messenger.
