[edit] Subdivisions of Sheffield Metropolitian Borough
Sheffield is made up of many suburbs and neighbourhoods, many of which developed from villages or hamlets that were absorbed into Sheffield as the city grew. These historical areas are largely ignored by the modern administrative and political divisions of the city; instead it is divided into 28 electoral wards, with each ward generally covering 4–6 areas. These electoral wards are grouped into six parliamentary constituencies. Sheffield is largely unparished, but Bradfield and Ecclesfield have parish councils, and Stocksbridge has a town council. The numbers on the map refer to the wards in the following list. In each case the reference leads to a Wikipedia article on that part of the city rather than one within WeRelate.
