About Heeley

Heeley is a historic suburb in the south of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, with origins dating back to at least 1343. The name "Heeley" comes from the Old English "Heah Leah," meaning a high woodland clearing. The area was traditionally divided into three parts: Upper Heeley near the intersection of Myrtle Road and Heeley Green, Middle Heeley along Gleadless Road, and Lower Heeley around London Road. As of the 2011 Census, Heeley is part of the Gleadless Valley ward, making it relevant for planning applications in a growing urban context.
