oi
This man talks sense.
I will avoid the teenage pregnancy capital of Europe.
Doncaster?
yes, the area isn't as nice. Not too long ago it was the red light district, but now there is a bit of new development there but still a lot of derelict industrial units.
I wasn't working at the time, and why would I want to live in S9?
You wouldn't, but theres a few nice villages within 10 mins of S9 that are out in the country, but I guess you prefer the city?
Those were the flats I immediately thought of when I saw the spec and where you'd be working.
It's a 5-minute walk, if that, to work if the HSBC is where you're going. In fact, you can see the offices from one of the photos
I've got no idea what the flats themselves are like, but in terms of locational convenience, it's spot on. And as you say, it's got some cracking pubs in staggering distance - The Fat Cat, Kelham Island Tavern, or The Harlequin if good ale and proper cosy pubbiness is what you're after.
Near a tram stop too, if you can't even be bothered to walk into town
EDIT: I guess my only concern would be road noise - that's a very busy roundabout they're overlooking.

There are quite a few flats for rent in this building, www.belmont-park.co.uk
Its out of the city in a nice quite town just south of Sheffield close to the M1

Chesterfield can take over an hour if travelling at 8-9am.
I do prefer the city, yes.
There is a development on Upper Allen Street that's again, close to Hoyle Street;

I do still think a bit further toward the centre would be better.
West Point on Trippet Lane; http://www.sheffieldresidential.com/prop-details.php?property=423
If you look at anything actually on West Street, (like Morton Works) try and make sure it doesn't look onto West Street itself (it can get noisy down there - but it can't really be heard if your windows look out the other way).
Bailey Street (Mandale House) http://www.zoopla.co.uk/to-rent/det...s&utm_content=rent[2907622]&refer=trov2907622
If you come to Sheffield to look at some local estate agents etc, they all seem to cluster on Campo Lane. Makes it easier when looking!
Most have centralised satellite feeds. *looks behind TV* yup.
Also, in Sheffield we have 'Digital Region' which is FTTC but actually in place - not just talked about like BT are doing. 40mb/10mb is easy to get via Digital Region. (Although I have a 'normal' ADSL connection which syncs at 22mb)

Shame as it looked nice.
Well, we drive from there to S8 and in general it takes around 30 min. Traffic is not that bad.
Thats cool would have to check as that is important.
Seen a few in this building any thoughts?

I would rather get the train than drive. I presume it is near chesterfield station.
I'm not too familiar with that area (I just drive past it on the ring road). The area is known as Wicker if you wanted to google around a bit.
You'd be looking at a 15min walk from the station to Hoyle Street, or you could just get a tram to Shalesmoor Station.
