Burngreave is an area in the centre of the South Yorkshire city of Sheffield, lying just north of the city centre, and its name derives from a wood (known as 'Burnt Greave') that used to dominate the landscape. This book, illustrated throughout with lots of colour and black and white photographs of the people and places of the area, offers a fascinating history of Burngreave, and the people that now live their.

From the rear side cover: Between 2004 and 2007 a series of workshops, displays, interviews and events took place involving residents, past residents and friends of the area. The project aimed to celebrate the history of Burngreave and Pitsmoor, provide a record of change and development and give a voice to the experiences of local people. This book is just one of the outcomes of the project and brings together a small selection of the material that emerged through the project.

Condition of the book is generally good. The cover has some minor scuffs and blemishes, and some light wear along the edges and corners, but the spine is tight and intact, and all pages are intact, unblemished and tightly bound. The bottom right hand corner of the front cover curves gently upwards
