It;s like everywhere else, it has it's good and bad areas.

Dore and whirlow are the posh bits next to Derbyshire.

Attercliffe was the industrial area now being regeneratad  with meadow hall, retail park, centertainment park, arena etc etc.

where as up the road Darnall is classed on the low end of the scale.
